Sychron Announces Dollar-for-Dollar Trade-In Program for ClearCube Users; Sychron OnDemand Desktop Product Delivers Superior Reliability, Scalability, and Price/Performance.

SAN MATEO, Calif. -- Sychron Inc., a leader in policy-based IT automation, today announced an upgrade program for customers who want to derive all the benefits of thin-client, server-based computing -- without having to resort to proprietary thin-client hardware or "PC in a closet" solutions.

"The basic economic premise is simple: End user PCs are now almost as cheap as, and as disposable as, cell phones. However, the complexity of the general purpose PC software stack is such that decentralized management is expensive, error prone, requires armies of costly IT staff, and results in significant amounts of downtime. For a real-time enterprise or service provider all of this is unacceptable," said Beatriz V. Infante, CEO of Sychron. "Moving applications off your desktop to a secure, scalable managed infrastructure on the server, and deploying the application to a low-cost open-standards PC with a software-only solution yields substantial improvements in application availability, business continuity and compliance, and dramatically reduces costs."

Sychron OnDemand Desktop

Sychron's OnDemand Desktop works from user-specified business metrics to make intelligent decisions about resource allocation, software virtualization processes, and blade server provisioning and management that have required expensive manual intervention in the past. Because it's a solution that can think on its own, it can automatically leverage existing IT infrastructure to adjust to changing resource demands and business priorities, making the most efficient use of human resources.

OnDemand Desktop Features

--Control data center resources to dynamically configure and deploy virtual desktop services 

--Provide fault-tolerant desktops with guaranteed service levels differentiated by user class

--Dynamically assign users to virtual desktops based on their class

--Dynamically start or stop virtual desktops based on fluctuating demand for a class

--Maximum agility and flexibility -- eliminate need for terminal services compliance or static binding of desktop to applications or servers

--Simplified patch and application management

Sychron supports mixed Windows and Linux environments on both client and server, and can interface with virtually any IT resource through standards-based APIs. Sychron can be rapidly deployed for any combination of blade server, OS virtualization technique, and provisioning and configuration tools, adding value to existing systems management and infrastructure investments.
