Overview
Unidesk transforms virtualized desktops into low-cost, easy-to-manage computing resources for IT, and highly personal, productivity-enhancing tools for end users.

When deploying Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions, IT organizations report the same challenges:

  • Operational costs remain high, with image management, patching, provisioning, application delivery, and desktop support merely shifted from the edge to the data center.
  • Storage costs increase, offsetting thin client cost savings, as complete desktop images are moved to expensive, data center-class storage.
  • Personalization is limited, resulting in worker dissatisfaction, productivity losses, and higher turnover.
  • Off-line use is restricted, making it difficult for IT to support user mobility, and grant device-independent access to customized desktops “anytime, anywhere.”

To overcome these challenges, Unidesk provides the first virtual desktop management platform designed from the ground up for VDI desktops hosted in data centers, as well as edge PCs and notebooks virtualized with Type I and Type II client hypervisors. Through patent-pending Composite Virtualization™ technology, Unidesk offers “patch-once” capabilities that reduce operational costs up to 35%, and “single-instance” storage capabilities for Windows gold images and common applications that cut VDI storage costs up to 90%. Composite Virtualization also enables Unidesk to offer complete desktop personalization, including support for user-installed applications and plug-ins and data stored anywhere on the desktop, and the unique ability to maintain these customizations through gold image updates.

Customers will deploy Unidesk as the multi-vendor management platform that finally bridges the divide between IT, who needs to lock down desktops to meet legal, compliance, security, and budgetary requirements, and end users, who need to personalize their desktops to maximize productivity and job satisfaction. Unidesk will also offer seamless access to desktops from any virtualized endpoint device, solving the off-line use and mobility problems, and enabling users to move from thin clients to notebooks to PCs without increasing IT's burden.

Unidesk is a privately-held software company backed by two of the leading names in high tech venture capital. The company is led by experienced executives with a proven track record of delivering market-leading infrastructure solutions in both emerging companies and big-name IT vendors. Unidesk conducts business operations from its worldwide headquarters in Marlborough, MA, USA.
