Looking to augment their desktop virtualization platform, Microsoft has gone shopping again. Today's purchase was Kidaro, a privately held company that focuses on centralized management of virtual desktops throughout an enterprise. Back in August Kidaro was featured as one of the Top 10 Virtualization companies to keep an eye on by Network World magazine. They like the company for a few reasons:
"Kidaro pushes the right buttons when it comes to desktop virtualization," says Andi Mann, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. Managed Workspace is secure and seamless, and provides centrally managed, policy-based control that provides for employee mobility and keeps corporate data secure at the same time, he adds.
The mobile solution they have, known as Kidaro ToGo seems particularly interesting and appealing, especially for folks who move between workstations all the time and who are tired of dealing with the various issues that roaming profiles can present. That seems like the golden egg from the company to me.
