The solution runs open standards-based email, word processing, spreadsheets, unified communication, social networking and other software to any laptop, browser, or mobile device from a virtual desktop login on a Linux-based server configuration.
A virtual desktop looks like a traditional desktop but is not limited to a single physical computer. Instead, many virtual Linux desktops are hosted on a server. The combined solution includes:
-Virtual desktop provided by Virtual Bridges called Virtual Enterprise Remote Desktop Environment (VERDE); -Ubuntu, the worldwide leading Linux desktop operating system, from Canonical; and -IBM Open Collaboration Client Solution software (OCCS) based on IBM Lotus Symphony, IBM Lotus Notes and Lotus applications. IBM Lotus Symphony is built on the Open Document Format (ODF).
"When we look back several years from now, I think we'll see this time as an inflection point when the economic climate pushed the virtual Linux desktop from theory to practice," said Inna Kuznetsova, director, IBM Linux Strategy. "The financial pressures on organizations are staggering and the management of PCs is unwieldy. Today's virtual desktop is delivering superior collaborative software, an innovative delivery method, and an open-source operating system that is demanding clients' consideration."
The Open Collaboration Client Solution provides email, calendaring, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, unified communication, social networking, team collaboration and portals, based on IBM Lotus Notes 8 and IBM Lotus Symphony. The software is built on open standards, based on the open-source Eclipse Rich Client Platform and supports Open Document Format (ODF).
