DeviceVM Introduces Splashtop for Business; Instant-On Platform Offers Fast, Secure Access to Cloud Computing

Industry Leader Introduces the First Instant-On Business Solution to Provide
Instant Email, Microsoft Office and VDI Access for Businesses of All Sizes
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
DeviceVM, the leader in instant-on computing, today introduced Splashtop for
Business, its newest product offering for small-medium business and enterprise
use. In addition, the company announced that the product will be available from
the world`s three largest PC vendors by the end of 2009. An extension of the
award-winning Splashtop product family, Splashtop for Business is the first
instant-on solution designed specifically for business use, enabling companies
to increase employee productivity by offering fast, secure and reliable access
to cloud content and services.

Splashtop for Business is an innovative software solution that enables users to
access the corporate network, and public web without requiring full Microsoft
WindowsTM boot-up. A traditional operating system (OS) can take many minutes to
boot up, frustrating employees and impacting productivity. Splashtop for
Business instant-on technology brings measurable benefits to organizations of
all sizes - enabling mobile employees to:

* Enjoy fast and secure cloud access with the touch of a button.
* Access private corporate and public virtualized cloud resources over LAN,
Wi-Fi and 3G - anytime and anywhere.
* Remotely connect to the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) based on
technologies from CitrixTM (NASDAQ: CTXS) and VMwareTM (NYSE: VMW).
* Access cached Windows OutlookTM email, calendar, contacts and task information
using the QuickInfo feature
* Access Yahoo MailTM, Google MailTM, and MSN HotmailTM including Microsoft
(NASDAQ: MSFT) ExchangeTM email via Outlook Web Access.
* View and edit Microsoft OfficeTM compatible documents such as ExcelTM,
PowerPointTM and WordTM as well as AdobeTM (NASDAQ: ADBE) AcrobatTM.
* Text or video chat with colleagues and customers using SkypeTM as well as AOL
Instant MessengerTM, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) TalkTM, MSN MessengerTM or Yahoo
(NASDAQ: YHOO) MessengerTM services.

"The introduction of Splashtop for Business marks a significant milestone for
instant-on computing, and a giant step forward in enhancing productivity,
security and accessibility for today`s mobile workforce," said Mark Lee,
co-founder and CEO of DeviceVM. "Even if Windows crashes or is infected by a
virus or malware, Splashtop for Business gets users back online quickly to
access corporate email, data, and applications. Splashtop for Business is
rapidly becoming the de facto platform for business PCs."

When deployed as the corporate OS using VDI, Splashtop for Business can reduce
the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for PCs by eliminating costly OS licensing
fees and reducing IT management tasks. When deployed as a companion OS to
Windows, it can improve productivity and reduce employee down-time by providing
instant access to the corporate cloud as well as acting as a back-up in case of
hard disk or windows failure. Splashtop for Business offers companies:

* Increased Productivity: Splashtop offers fast and reliable remote access to
web-based content, email and corporate applications. Because Splashtop operates
independently of the computer's primary operating system, employees can still
get online in the event of OS or Hard Disk failure, improving uptime. Splashtop
also provides convenient access to mission critical applications and
communications functions. Support for the latest version of Java virtual machine
and Adobe Flash Player 10 is also included.
* Enhanced Security and Compliance: Splashtop is a locked-down environment that
is both tamper proof and malware/virus resistant - making every boot clean and
secure. By providing Citrix Receiver and VMware View virtual desktop clients in
addition to Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), access to sensitive corporate data is
kept in the data center, reducing the risk of data breaches due to PC loss and
helping companies meet their compliance requirements. Additionally, employees
cannot change system settings or install non-corporate approved plug-ins or
applications, so companies get all of the VDI hardware device benefits without
the additional cost.
* Improved Virtual Desktop Mobility: Splashtop supports the most popular virtual
desktop technologies from Citrix and VMware. When deployed as a dedicated
corporate OS, a Splashtop for Business laptop offers a cheaper and more flexible
alternative to fixed function hardware devices. By offering instant virtual
desktop mode in a laptop form factor, employees have greater mobility options at
a lower cost.
* Lower TCO: Splashtop comes pre-integrated with the PC platform. This approach
results in a high quality product with no additional vendors to call and no new
maintenance contracts to buy or renew. Employees can now get online instantly
with minimal support. An IT controlled update mechanism ensures that only
changes based on IT policies are executed. IT can now conserve resources as they
need only be responsible for managing the Splashtop corporate workspace, with
Windows available as the user`s personal workspace.
* Greener IT: Because Splashtop turns on in seconds, there`s no need to keep the
system always on, or in sleep mode consuming power. Companies will save millions
of dollars in energy savings while also protecting the environment.
