Qumranet previewed its Solid ICE Multi-Site desktop virtualization solution, which will offer the benefits of centralized desktops to enterprises with globally dispersed users in branch offices and remote sites.

"The problem with current methods of remote desktop access is that they suffer from a poor user experience, including slow speeds and sub-standard graphics," said Benny Schnaider, CEO Qumranet. "Solid ICE Multi-Site offers end-users the computing experience they expect and need, including multi-media rich applications, VoIP, and video-conferencing, while providing IT managers the benefits of desktop centralization."

Solid ICE Multi-Site employs Qumranet's SPLICE technology, which enables an IT administrator to manage and maintain all the virtual desktops enterprise-wide from one central location. Customers can leverage the architectural advantage of virtualization and enable "remote presence". The virtual desktop location is optimized by SPLICE technology thereby enabling a superior end-user experience.
