Sparxent VirtualOffice Tech Preview Available
SAN MATEO, Calif., May 12 -- Tyrone Pike, CEO of Sparxent, today announced the Tech Preview for Sparxent VirtualOffice will be available this week. Sparxent VirtualOffice is a cloud hosted, monthly subscription-based, applications-on-demand service providing immediate access to virtual desktops and applications through an automated provisioning portal. The initial VirtualOffice service will offer access to Microsoft Office applications.
Sparxent VirtualOffice integrates best-of-breed solutions to offer customers a seamless on-demand application experience. VirtualOffice is built on hardware and infrastructure capabilities provided by independent hosting centers from around the world. Through a unique dynamic provisioning portal, users can instantly access applications from anywhere via Citrix® Receiver(TM).
"The vision for Sparxent VirtualOffice is just-in-time virtual computing," said Mr. Pike. "Users are provisioned in seconds, and subscribers can pick and choose the applications they need through our dynamic portal. The ease of provisioning and set-up speed is second to none."
Recently, in addition to being a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner, Sparxent has become a Citrix Service Provider (CSP), as well as a Citrix Solution Advisor (CSA). Building on core Microsoft business applications and best-in-class virtualization technology from Citrix, including Citrix XenApp(TM) Citrix XenDesktop®, Citrix XenServer® and Citrix NetScaler® VPX, Sparxent offers a world-class virtual experience from any location and on any device (including Windows, Linux, Mac, iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile).
"We are very excited about this unique new service offering from Sparxent," said Bill Burley, Vice President and General Manager of Citrix. "The provisioning logic behind VirtualOffice provides end-to-end desktop provisioning and a seamless workflow to deliver an innovative and enhanced subscriber experience with fast time to productivity."
VirtualOffice will provide organizations subscription-based access and provisioning of Microsoft's Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), as well as access to Microsoft-hosted Exchange and SharePoint.
"The first offering of our VirtualOffice service will be ideal for organizations needing to completely lock down and manage knowledge-based worker environments for application access from thin clients and 'Bring-your-own-computer' models," says Mr. Pike. "Sparxent will be the single point of contact for subscribing, provisioning and availability."
To sign up for the Tech Preview, please go to http://www.sparxent.com/Tech_Preview.html. Beginning May 14 selected applicants will receive credentials to access the portal at http://virtualoffice.sparxent.com/.
Over the coming weeks, Sparxent will provide pricing information and announcements regarding additional third-party offerings to be supported by VirtualOffice, including enterprise line-of-business applications. Additional services, including offline access, storage provisioning options and federated identity capabilities, will be made available soon.
