Wipro
Technologies, in partnership with Citrix and Microsoft, launched Wipro Desktop
as a Service (WDaaS), a desktop virtualization solution that delivers desktops,
applications and data as an on-demand service. The solution is based on HP
technology.
The announcement
was made at Citrix Synergy 2011 in San
Francisco, the conference where virtual computing
takes center stage. WDaaS was announced earlier in October 2010 and is
available in the market now.
WDaaS is an
integrated service offering which uses the market-leading desktop
virtualization technologies of Citrix and Microsoft and provides efficient plug
and play desktop and application virtualization capabilities. The solution is
built on HP Converged Infrastructure.
Traditionally,
desktop virtualization has been complex to implement,” said Neeraj Jaitley,
vice president, Cloud Infrastructure Solutions, Wipro Technologies.
Customers are
now looking for providers with end to end technical and operational
capabilities who can deliver scalable and highly reliable infrastructure,
leveraging hybrid cloud architecture as appropriate. Wipro Desktop as a Service
solution benefits from focused technology R&D investments and supports ‘as
a Service’ delivery models. Our engagement methodology can reduce the
technology deployment cycle by half,” Jaitley added.
Desktop
virtualization is a key priority for today’s CIOs as they look to transform
their desktops to become more agile, flexible and secure. Citrix XenDesktop
supports this desktop change with market leading technologies that turn
desktops, applications and data into an on-demand service that can be accessed
from any user on any device,” said Dave Jones, vice president of System
Integrator Development at Citrix.
WDaaS is a
perfect example of how customers can transform their workplace and quickly
realize the benefits of desktop virtualization through an integrated hardware,
software and services offering of a major global System Integrator,” Jones
added.
