RingCube vDesk creates a virtual workspace on McAfee Encrypted USB devices that contains the user’s desktop environment inclusive of applications, data, and settings.
When users connect the USB device to any PC, they instantly have access to their corporate desktop environment for remote access, disaster recovery, or temporary access by consultants, contractors, and outsourcers.
Lowering Costs and Improving Productivity for Mobile Workers.
Many enterprises are looking for ways to improve the productivity of their workforces but struggle with the cost of providing and supporting company laptops for every employee.
Mobile employees are significantly more productive if they have access to their desktop with all of their own applications, data, and settings, whether they are traveling, working at a customer site, or visiting a branch office.
However, users don’t always want to carry a laptop, and the costs of providing a laptop to every employee—both in capital expense and in ongoing operational expenses—can be $5,000 to $9,000 per year, compared to $3,000 to $5,000 per year for an equivalent desktop system.
RingCube and McAfee Deliver a Simple, Cost-Effective, and Secure Mobile Computing Solution.
The RingCube vDesk solution delivers an enterprise desktop virtualization solution that increases user productivity and lowers desktop management costs. Users can run their vDesk workspace at the office or on unmanaged PCs—at home or at a client site.
When users start their vDesk workspace, it transforms a Windows PC into their own familiar and personalized workspace where they can access their files, applications, settings, and entire desktop, just as if they were on their own PC.
vDesk works with McAfee Encrypted USB devices to ensure that vDesk virtual workspaces are isolated from the host PC, that all data is encrypted, and that only authorized users can access the encrypted workspace.
vDesk provides network and file system isolation policies, granular host security policy enforcement, and integration with Active Directory for user authorization. As part of host security scanning, vDesk canverify that McAfee VirusScan® Enterprise or the McAfee Total Protection solution is updated and actively protecting the virtual workspace prior to allowing any user access.
McAfee Encrypted USB devices ensure that RingCube’s workspace virtualization environments are protected by the highest two-factor biometric user authentication and the strongest AES 256-bit hardware encryption available to prevent data leakage and unauthorized access.
