Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 With Hyper-V Supported in Konect Elite v8.6.2 Release

Calgary, Alberta, Canada (PRWEB) February 03, 2014

desktopsites, Inc., a leading developer of innovative and cost effective application and virtual desktop delivery solutions for small and mid-size businesses (‘SMBs’), announced today that its flagship patented product, Konect Elite v8.6.2, provides full support for Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V. The era of mobility and BYOD is enabling small and mid-size businesses to move from PC-centric IT to data-centric and even cloud-centric IT, where business data is centrally stored, managed, and secured. In this era, small and mid-size businesses need an agile, scalable, and cost effective desktop virtualization infrastructure, whether on-premises or off-site, to help them achieve this transformation with measurable ROI.

“Why pay for cost-prohibitive and learning-intensive desktop virtualization solutions if you don’t need to? Microsoft’s Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V hypervisor is rapidly gaining ground in the SMB market as a powerful virtualization platform,” says Alex Bethlehem, CEO for desktopsites. “In addition to its growing reputation, Hyper-V is included with Windows Server and Konect Elite; the combined offering provides an agile, scalable, and cost effective desktop virtualization solution that SMBs can easily implement and maintain.”

“Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V provides businesses and service providers a scalable, dynamic, and multitenant-aware platform for cloud-optimized infrastructure,” says Chris Van Wesep, Group Product Marketing Manager, Server and Tools, Microsoft. “We are pleased that desktopsites is providing a desktop virtualization solution that builds on this functionality for customers in small and mid-size organizations.”

Now available via Konect Elite v8.6.2, among the features supported include:

• Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V 3.0 and Windows 8.1;
• The installation of the Konect Elite software on Windows Server 2012 R2 and the Konect Elite client on Windows 8.1.
