Devon IT Announces Full Support for IBM Virtualized Hosted Client Initiative; Devon IT's Connection Broker Will Provide Cost-Effective Approach To Managing and Accessing Virtualized Hosted Client Infrastructure.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. -- Devon IT today announced full support of the IBM' Virtualized Hosted Client initiative. Devon will collaborate with IBM to develop new technologies that work efficiently with the Virtualized Hosted Client (VHC) infrastructure and will announce shortly the release of Connection Broker, an extremely cost effective way to manage and access the VHC infrastructure.

"We are committed to providing industry-leading and cost-effective thin client technology for users," explained Joe Makoid, President, Devon IT. "When a market and technology leader like IBM is progressing thin client/hosted client architecture and collaborate with leaders such as Citrix and VMWare it is obvious that the current approach to desktop computing is shifting. We have always been proponents of server-centric computing and centralized management as a way for IT managers to reduce costs dramatically. The VHC architecture built on IBM's powerful blade center combined with a cost effective desktop end station like our NTA 6010 thin client terminals will not only lower TCO but up-front acquisition costs as well."

The IBM Virtualized Hosted Client Infrastructure brings new important benefits to the information technology (IT) department. In addition to delivering security and control, the Virtualized Hosted Client Infrastructure will enable companies to support more users with fewer resources, while offering the best possible desktop experience from virtually anywhere and on virtually any device.

Devon IT's Connection Broker will provide secure access to any resource such as a Workstation on a PC Blade or virtualized PCs running on a server within a Virtual Machine, full desktop or specific applications on Terminal Server or Citrix, any legacy application (UNIX, Linux, Mainframe, Midrange, etc.)

"We are partnering with IBM to accelerate hosted client solutions like the VHC," commented Makoid. "Our Connection Broker can help customers immediately access any application without changing the architecture, touching the infrastructure or rewriting code and that is exactly what they are looking for in a secure access hosted client solution."
