Awarded $1.5 Million Virtualization Solution
VMware, Provision Networks and Microsoft Solution Delivers
Dynamic Desktop Deployment for the Department of Defense
Reston, VA. – December 4, 2006 – Emergent OnLine, an IT
Solutions Provider and one of the most trusted IT integrators
in the Washington metropolitan area, announced that it
received a $1.5 Million award to modernize the desktop
computing infrastructure of a US Department of Defense agency,
transforming it into a virtual desktop infrastructure,
leveraging the Provision Networks Dynamic Desktop Deployment
platform, the VMware Virtual Infrastructure foundation, and
the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) SoftGrid application
virtualization and streaming technologies.
“This award is a validation for the leading edge
virtualization solutions and their associated technical and
business value propositions that we are bringing to the table
for clients,” said Hermia Johnson, Director of Public Sector
Solutions with Emergent OnLine.
The enterprise solution proposed and awarded to Emergent
OnLine includes VMware Virtual Infrastructure, Provision
Networks, and Microsoft SoftGrid at the core. The virtualized
infrastructure will enable the DoD agency to securely deploy
on-demand virtualized applications and desktops to users
regardless of location, simplifying enterprise desktop
management and delivering a dynamic desktop deployment
experience.
Emergent OnLine designed, architected and piloted the winning
solution and showcased the seamless integration of the three
core technologies proposed. The DoD agency will be able to
virtualize application and desktop publishing with Provision
Networks technologies, stream the applications to virtualized
desktops hosted on VMware Virtual Infrastructure or Provision
Networks terminal servers with Microsoft SoftGrid
technologies, and host the entire virtualized infrastructure
in secure data centers on the VMware platform.
Beyond the simplified desktop management and dynamic desktop
deployment benefits, the solution affords the agency better
mobility, security, control, and business continuity.
