Evolve IP Revolutionizes DaaS Delivery with High Security, Flexibility and User Experience

WAYNE, Pa. - June 25, 2019 - PRLog -- Evolve IP^®, The Cloud Strategy Company™, today announced the availability of the Evolve IP OneCloud Desktop, the next generation of its highly acclaimed Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution. The Evolve IP OneCloud Desktop frees businesses from the endless cycle of purchasing, supporting, upgrading and ultimately replacing local PCs by providing a virtual workspace that can be accessed from anywhere, at any time, on nearly any device. Leveraging DaaS from Evolve IP, IT managers are freed from the need to "touch" each desktop when adding or removing users, fixing problems, and delivering new applications; saving staff time and keeping employees significantly more productive.

The Evolve IP OneCloud Desktop is powered by VMware Horizon DaaS, a leading virtual desktop platform built for delivering desktops and applications as a cloud service. Evolve IP is the largest U.S. DaaS partner in the VMware Cloud Provider Program.  Both Evolve IP and VMware were recently recognized as a representative vendor for the second consecutive time in the June 2018 Gartner Market Guide for Desktop as a Service*.

"VMware is excited to partner with Evolve IP, a longstanding partner and early adopter of our Horizon DaaS 8.0 platform," said Shankar Iyer, general manager and senior vice president, End User Computing, VMware. "With the launch of the OneCloud Desktop offering, Evolve IP can deliver more sophisticated, integrated capabilities while leveraging VMware Horizon DaaS key functionalities via an updated, sleek visual look and feel."

Two-factor/MFA functionality is supported for organizations that require additional security.
• Revolutionary bring-your-own license approach to DaaS. IT leaders now have the opportunity to couple or decouple software. This entirely a-la-carte, flexible deployment architecture offers a customizable, consultative approach to customer licensing requirements, enabling each enterprise to utilize the applications best suited for its business, including pre-built and tested solutions for remote monitoring, security, and even operating systems.
