nGenx Launches Cloud Desktop

CHANNEL PARTNERS Cloud services provider nGenx officially launched its next generation product: the nFinity Advanced Desktop at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Orlando.

The new desktop allows the delivery of business applications to devices anywhere while “creating a familiar and consistent user experience,” nGenx CEO Robert Bye said.

nFinity Advanced Desktop provides the power of a desktop with the accessibility of the cloud,” Bye added. “The user experience looks and feels much like a local PC running a Windows 7 Operating System. The key differences can be found in security and mobility.”

With the nFinity Advanced Desktop, the operating system, applications, data and user settings reside securely within the confines of the nGenx data centers. End users are more mobile because they can access their applications from multiple devices such as an iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows PC or Macbook, the company said.

Powered by Citrix and Microsoft technologies, the nFinity Advanced Desktop enables independent software vendors (ISVs) and other partners of nGenx to quickly and easily deliver their software products in the cloud to meet the demands of their markets.

The nGenx nFinity control panel provides partners a single pane-of-glass provisioning system, according to the company. Through the simplicity of a Web browser, partners can easily provision users, change options and manage accounts on their own.

The nFinity Advanced Desktop also includes secure data centers, reliable infrastructures, competitive advantages relating to cloud services, and customized branding.

Gabe Authier, product manager for Viewpoint Construction Software, said, nGenx enables us to deliver our software products to our customers in the cloud where all the tools they use daily are maintained for smooth operation and are optimized, secure and available.”

Authier added that customers can reduce risk by having hardware and software protected in the cloud while still increasing productivity.

“Most importantly, nGenx enables us to eliminate the burden and worries of customers that are managing their technology infrastructure in-house, which allows them to focus exclusively on their core business construction,” he said.

nGenx focuses on its partners ability to offer new technologies to their customers via the nFinity Partner Program, the company said.

Also available is nFinity Consulting, a powerhouse team of Citrix Technology Professionals who can help other service providers design, build, and operate application hosting solutions from within their own data centers.
