RINGCUBE AND MXI SECURITY(TM) PARTNER TO DELIVER A VIRTUAL DESKTOP
ON THE HARDWARE-ENCRYPTED STEALTH MXP(TM) BIOMETRIC USB DRIVE
RingCube Managed Virtual Workspaces to be Delivered on MXI
Security Biometric USB Drives
RingCube Technologies, a leading provider of the managed, virtual
workspace, and MXI Security, the leader in superior managed portable
security solutions, partner to deliver MojoPac Enterprise on MXI
Security's Stealth MXP Biometric USB drives. The integrated mobile
virtual desktop solution enables users to securely carry their entire
desktop environment including applications, files and settings on a
portable USB drive and access it from any PC - at work, home, at a
customer site or on a public computer - online or offline. MXI
Security USB portable security devices ensure that RingCube's high
performance virtual workspaces are protected by the highest 2-factor
biometric user authentication and the strongest AES 256-bit hardware
encryption to prevent data leakage and unauthorized access.
"Workers who travel from office to office or between the office
and home like the convenience of having their personal desktop
computing environment available in different locations without
actually having to carry their notebook around. One solution for these
workers is a virtual desktop that runs off a USB flash or hard drive.
This gives users a portable personality containing all their
applications, data and preferences, delivered in a familiar work
environment and available offline on any PC," said Leslie Fiering,
Research Vice President, Gartner. "It is critical that organizations
secure the virtual desktop environment with encryption, strong
authentication and host security checks to verify that the host is
secure and trusted before the user can login."
RingCube's award-winning MojoPac virtualization technology
separates a user's desktop environment, including applications, data,
settings and system resources, from the operating system and
encapsulates it into a secure container. Users can run their managed
virtual workspace on unmanaged, non-corporate PCs - at home, at a
client site or in a hotel business center. By plugging their
MojoPac-enabled USB portable security device into a host PC, mobile
professionals can transform any Windows PC into their own familiar and
personalized workspace to access their files, applications, settings
and entire desktop, as if they were on their own PC. Before allowing
the user to launch their workspace, MojoPac verifies the security of
the system based on administrator-defined policies. For
administrators, RingCube provides an Administration Server that makes
creating, deploying and managing virtual desktop environments easy and
less costly.
"We are honored to have RingCube delivering their innovative
virtualization technology on MXI Security portable security devices,"
said Lawrence Reusing, CEO at MXI Security. "The combination of
RingCube's high-performance virtual workspaces and MXI Security's
high-capacity biometric USB drives with the ACCESS Enterprise device
lifecycle management solution make it possible to take corporate
desktops anywhere with the highest level of security."
Enterprise companies can provide drives to employees, contractors
or customers that are pre-provisioned with the user's workspace or let
them self-provision their workspace from RingCube's web-based Client
Portal. To launch the MojoPac workspace, users simply plug-in their
MXI Security USB portable security device into any PC, swipe their
finger across the biometric reader, and then will be automatically
logged-in to their MojoPac workspace. Once logged in, users have
access to their personalized applications, files, settings and desktop
environment.
"Today's workers are demanding ever-increasing levels of mobility,
putting a serious strain on enterprises' ability to manage these users
and keep their data and systems secure," said Ron DiBiase, RingCube's
VP of Business Development. "The partnership between RingCube and MXI
Security enables enterprise customers to give their users portable
workspaces that can be carried in the palm of their hand, while
providing the security of biometrics and hardware encryption."

storage that includes biometric authentication and AES 256-bit
