Xenocode Web Delivery Technology Allows Popular Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Application to Run Securely, Directly from the Web SEATTLE--(Business Wire)-- Xenocode, a leader in application virtualization and delivery technology, today announced the immediate availability of the online Xenocode P2P Sandbox. The P2P Sandbox web site allows LimeWire, the world's most popular peer-to-peer file sharing application, to be run directly from the web in a risk-free manner. Unlike traditional software distribution, the P2P sandbox does not require any software to be installed, eliminating the hassles and dangers associated with software installations. Furthermore, Xenocode runs applications in secure virtual environments isolated from the host hardware, eliminating the danger of inadvertent leaks of confidential information. The Xenocode P2P Sandbox is available at http://www.xenocode.com/p2p. An unsecured file sharing application was recently responsible for the leak of sensitive blueprints and avionics specifications for Marine One, the helicopter used by President Obama. Unsecured file sharing software was earlier responsible for the release of the names and Social Security numbers of over 1,000 patients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and 17,000 employees of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. It is estimated that over 70 million people worldwide use file sharing applications. "The P2P Sandbox provides users access to popular file sharing applications while preserving the security of information residing on their machines", said Kenji Obata, Code Systems founder and chief executive officer. "The P2P Sandbox demonstrates how Xenocode can dramatically reduce the risks, costs, and complexity associated with distributing software applications, while enhancing desktop security and improving the consumer experience." Availability The P2P Sandbox is available free of charge on the web at http://www.xenocode.com/p2p. Applications featured in the P2P Sandbox were built using Xenocode Virtual Application Studio and deployed using Xenocode Web Delivery. Xenocode products are available via the web and through authorized Xenocode partners.
