SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
VMworld—8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), provider of innovative cloud
communications and computing solutions, today launched its new Zerigo
VDI, the most comprehensive, turnkey, enterprise-grade deployment
and management platform
for desktop virtualization.
Built to power the high-demand Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) needs of global telecom leader
SoftBank and cloud/data center provider CoSentry, 8x8 is now offering
Zerigo VDI for licensing as a white-label solution to enable telco, data
center and Internet service providers (ISPs) along with enterprise IT
departments to quickly configure and deploy complete IaaS and DaaS
services.
8x8 will offer live demos of Zerigo VDI and IaaS at Booth 229 and at the
VCE Booth 1015 during the 10th Annual VMworld
San Francisco, August 25-29.
"This high-velocity solution offers maximum flexibility and simplicity
to meet the needs of a wide variety of service providers—from top-tier
telcos to smaller ISPs - looking to grow their business with
next-generation VDI and IaaS services," said Andy Schwabecher, General
Manager of 8x8 Cloud Hosting. "The Zerigo software suite supports
cross-platform access, enabling service providers to provision, manage
and bill any Linux or Windows desktop to any thin client, PC, Mac, iOS,
Android or other mobile device for truly ubiquitous compatibility."
"We are very impressed with the technological expertise and efficiency
8x8 has demonstrated with the development of this customized VDI
solution," said Ken Miyauchi, Softbank Senior Executive Vice President.
"No other VDI and IaaS solution provides the comprehensive feature set,
ease of management, scalability and billing available in 8x8's Zerigo
software suite to make launching these services both easy and
profitable. Adding Zerigo to our product line supports SoftBanks's
global business growth objectives with a cost-effective and efficient
solution."
8x8's Zerigo VDI and IaaS solutions provide numerous high-performance
features to speed deployment and simplify management of VDI pools and
VDC for clients, while supporting rapid business growth with a
ready-to-launch solution for service providers. Unique features include:
-
Integrated client billing for complete business management. The
Zerigo software suite is the first service provider-grade platform
of its kind to offer complete DaaS and IaaS management in
user-friendly package with built-in billing support. Zerigo tracks
real-time monthly usage, then automatically generates and distributes
invoices to clients. The system can also be configured to allow
automated payment processing and receipt generation.
-
Rapid desktop provisioning in just three clicks. Zerigo's
management and orchestration of Horizon View 5.1 takes the complexity
out of VMware provisioning with a template-style approach that
requires minimal technical expertise. Entire desktop pools can be
launched in a matter of minutes through the intuitive GUI in as few as
three clicks. The platform offers both pre-configured Windows desktop
templates, as well as the option to custom-configure each desktop to
suit specific needs.
-
Simplified one-stop orchestration and management dashboard. Zerigo
VDI offers the complete VMware View feature set in an easy-to-manage
portal to simplify the deployment and administration of VDI pools with
an easy-to-use, self-service interface. The system can be configured
to support both service provider and client-side admin of the entire
VDI environment, allowing service providers to offer value-added
support and management or give their customers the freedom to
self-manage their own deployment.
Built upon the powerful and reliable Vblock infrastructure with
state-of-the-art, fully redundant hardware, Zerigo VDI ensures
reliability, continuity and data security in an affordable, scalable
solution to enable business growth. The solution is designed for white
label deployment to support service providers' brand building strategies.
