SHI Partners with GreenQube for Initial Hosted Desktop and DaaS Offering
Monroe, LA (PRWEB) February 18, 2014 -- GreenQube today announced a strategic partnership with SHI International Corp., one of North America's top 20 IT solution providers, that will accelerate SHI's efforts to build out its cloud services business. As part of the new agreement, SHI now offers GreenQube Hosted Desktops and Windows Applications as part of the GreenQube Cloud Workspace, enabling businesses to quickly and securely turn up desktop and application resources in the cloud.
“We are excited to partner with GreenQube, which allows us to deliver a best-of-breed cloud hosted desktop solution to meet our customers’ demands,” said Richard Place, General Manager of Cloud Services, SHI International Corp. “GreenQube’s service provides a selection in our current cloud services business by providing an enterprise-grade solution at a price that small and medium businesses can afford.”
In an effort to reduce costs of supporting, buying, and migrating desktops to newer operating systems, more and more companies are turning to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) deployments utilizing the power of the cloud and hosted desktops as a service. In support of the growing hosted desktop market, SHI is offering GreenQube Cloud Workspaces and Windows hosted solutions today and will include GreenQube in its Cloud Marketplace, an online portal for customers to access solutions from leading cloud service providers, later this year.
“As a leading Windows Cloud Desktop and Application provider, we are excited to team with SHI to deliver their customers an affordable, highly reliable, and easy to deploy and manage cloud desktop solution,” said Preston Rose, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, GreenQube. “As demand grows for cloud hosted desktops, our partnership with SHI will extend our reach with businesses that require enterprise-grade performance, reliability and security.”
GreenQube’s Cloud Workspace is an enterprise-grade cloud hosted desktop solution optimized for companies with users ranging from 10-10,000. All connectivity to the desktop is secured via Microsoft and Citrix technologies. GreenQube can extend its Cloud Workspace on the customer’s premise or into their existing cloud solution.
