Zylog Systems (ZSL), an ISV & software solutions and services provider, has launched ‘PowerCube’ DaaS (Desktop as a Service), an open source-based desktop collaborative solution with supporting Zylog Systems consulting practice. Available today in the US, Africa, and India, ‘PowerCube’ will help mid-market customers using proprietary platforms to migrate to the IBM Client for Smart Work on Ubuntu’s operating system.
Intended for PCs, laptops, netbooks and thin clients as an alternative to commercial desktops and platforms, the Zylog Systems ‘PowerCube’ solution includes packaged services for migrating to the IBM Client for Smart Work, from user segmentation, TCO analysis, BPM-based role identification and SOA, to application migration, pilot and production deployment. The DaaS capabilities provide customers with the option of using virtual desktops based on VERDE from Virtual Bridges on a private cloud managed by Zylog Systems or on customer premise.
Zylog Systems’ consulting practice brings together the strengths in open source platforms and IBM technologies based on IBM Client for Smart Work to speed up IBM Client for Smart Work implementation at competitive costs. The DaaS option allows mid-market customers to get started quickly and focus on their business rather than worry about the desktop infrastructure.
Shiv Kumar, Executive Vice President, Zylog Systems, said, “We are seeing significant customer demand to specialise PowerCube-DaaS based on industry-specific roles and optimise them around differentiated business processes.”
