"Until now, IT administrators have been forced to install expensive, hot, power-hogging workstations under the desk, eliminating their ability to benefit from the inherent efficiencies and advantages of a rack- or blade-based data centre model", stated David Driggers, CTO, Verari Systems. "VerariIP provides the desktop user with an ergonomically enhanced workspace, while maintaining the user experience."

Verari has taken its success in high performance blade-based servers, such as the Verari BladeRack 2 that offers unique power and cooling efficiencies, to the next level. By combining robust workstation blades with Teradici's breakthrough PC-over-IP technology, up to 1920x1200 resolution DVI signals can be transported from the data centre over an installed TCP/IP network directly to workstation or desktop PC users.

The VerariIP solution supports quad-monitor displays, high quality video, audio, and multiple USB ports via a small "appliance" on the desktop, allowing the user to retain their existing experience without the heat and noise typically associated with locally installed workstations. The solution now extends Verari's "green" data centre initiative to encompass its customer's entire Information Systems organisation by helping to significantly reduce the overall corporate energy consumption both in and out of the data centre.

"We have worked closely with Verari Systems to incorporate Teradici's PC-over-IP technology in this innovative solution", stated Dan Cordingley, co-founder and CEO, Teradici Corporation. "The combination of Teradici's break-through innovation in display compression and propagation over networks with Verari's robust computing architecture is driving a true full-fidelity user experience from the data centre to the desk with centralized efficiency."

IT administrators benefit from server/workstation consolidation, high availability, easier manageability, enhanced security and ultimate user mobility, since a user's desktop can be created anywhere on the installed TCP/IP network at anytime. Using the Verari Command Center (VCC) systems management solution in conjunction with VerariIP, workstations and desktops can be deployed dynamically on the fly as the end user environment expands. VCC's intuitive graphical user interface and robust feature set facilitate hardware discovery, power management, hardware-level monitoring, remote server management and remote BIOS upgrades.

"End users want continuous access to personal data and applications regardless of location or time, while IT wants controlled network access, easy to manage devices, data security and anytime availability", stated Mark Bowker, analyst, The Enterprise Strategy Group Inc. "The VerariIP provides flexible, cost-effective application delivery to the end user from the data center. It provides the dexterity to help IT meet dynamic business initiatives and quickly respond to business problems on a secure well-managed operating platform."

Verari product marketing specialists expect general availability of the VerariIP solution to begin shipping in Q4 2007.
