[UKPRwire, Wed Jun 16 2010] RES Software, the proven leader in user workspace management, today announced four new UK solution providers Bytes, Prolinx, Orange Information Systems Group and Strategic Technologies as part of its channel programme. These new partners in the UK will now be able to offer RES PowerFuse as part of their strategic virtualisation and desktop transformation projects.

User workspace management is a critical component of any desktop transformation project, from the deployment of virtual desktops or new desktop hardware through to full OS migrations such as a move to Microsoft Windows 7. RES PowerFuse separates a user’s desktop from the underlying operating system to create a dynamic user workspace. This can be applied to any new desktop environment, ensuring that personal profiles and settings remain in place even though the underlying infrastructure has changed.

The new partnerships build on RES Software’s growing partner network that includes over 170 channel partners worldwide alongside strategic relationships with vendors focused on desktop infrastructure innovation including Microsoft, Citrix, VMware, CA Technologies and Double-Take Software.

Mike Wheeler, commercial director at Prolinx commented, “We are seeing a great deal of interest from our customers in how their desktop strategies are changing, particularly given the benefits that desktop virtualisation can provide. With RES Software, we can make the process of moving those customers through the proof of concept and user acceptance phases faster and easier, leading to greater benefits for the customer.”

“Interest in desktop virtualisation is high across the public sector. For many organisations there has been a significant length of time since their last desktop refresh,” said Sonal Parekh, vendor relations manager at Bytes. “However, these organisations are very conscious of the need for quantifiable return on investment or reduced cost of ownership and support, so any project has to prove its worth very quickly. RES Software user workspace management solutions will play a key role in assisting us to deliver solutions that meet these requirements.”

Ronnie Khan, UK country manager for RES Software, commented, “We are seeing significant interest in the channel around how to turn desktop virtualisation from a nice-to-have into a must-buy technology within customers. RES Software is a critical part of any desktop virtualisation implementation, as it ensures that the project really delivers what the partner and customer set out to achieve. We are looking forward to working with these new partners to turn this initial interest in desktop virtualisation into real deployments that provide customers with the benefits they expect.”
