Numecent Launches Application Jukebox 8.5 for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Numecent announced today availability of Application Jukebox for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and support for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0 in line with the availability of the platform today.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops combined with Numecent Application Jukebox delivers a flexible and comprehensive application delivery platform for your virtualized desktop infrastructure. Whether you are considering a migration to a cloud computing model or looking at a traditional hosted desktop solution, Application Jukebox can deploy your applications to the users who need them, when they need them.

"Using Jukebox technology, you can convert traditional Windows software to be delivered to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization-hosted desktops," said NavinThadani, senior director, Virtualization Business at Red Hat. ""Combining Jukebox technology with the performance, scalability and cost benefits of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0, customers have a compelling combined solution."

Application Jukebox Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux can translate to a lower TCO by offering better performance and a consistent backend OS. Application Jukebox saves virtualization resources by reducing the size of desktop images since applications do not need to be included, and also by reducing the number of desktop images since different images no longer need for separating conflicting applications. Powerful license compliance and management keep application costs down and under control.

"Application deployment is the last mile of desktop delivery, virtual or not," said Dr. Arthur S. Hitomi, Chief Technology Officer and Founder of Numecent. "With Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops, hosted virtual desktops have never been more scalable, automated and native."
