Hello Fellow VDI.com members,

I am the CEO of Virtual Bridges, the makers of VERDE. We recently announded VERDE 2.0 in conjunction with IBM.

We are excited to be a part of this forum and are looking for partners and advocates for a fresh approach to VDI.

VERDE runs on Linux servers, utilizes KVM, and supports both Linux and Windows guests. VERDE is a full-featured VDI solution not just a connection broker. We include by default a massively scalable clustering model as well as support for "disconnected use" via our client-side hypervisor... so, we offer both VDI and managed desktops from the same infrastructure. We also offer true gold master dynamic provisioning. We do not store individual VMs on disk but create them dynamically upon athentication. This not only saves disk, but dramatically simplifies the management of the desktops. These attributes allow us to say with full confidence that we can deliver the fastest time to payback/ROI of any VDI vendor on the market.

Not only do we have many differentiating characteristics to VMware and Citrix, we have been at it much longer. And, we offer a very compelling price point.

If you have any questions, please drop me a note, or check us out at www.vbridges.com.

We look forward to working with you.

Jim
