PocketCloud Allows iPhone and iPod Touch Users to Access Home Desktops
Software company Wyse is releasing a new app that allows users of both the iPhone and iPod Touch to be able to access their virtual or physical desktop environments so that they can perform tasks they would normally need to their computer for on the go. The software is intended to enable business people to do work while away from their home or office and also to allow IT administrators to access end-user devices through their mobile Apple devices.
The PocketCloud software will be shown during San Francisco’s VMworld 2009 show.
While users will need to be running iPhone OS 3.0, PocketCloud will be compatible with iPod Touch and iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS. The software supports VMware’s View 3.1 connection broker and uses SSL (Secure Socket Layers) for security. It will be able to connect with machines running Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista Business and Windows 7. Along with the standard software, Wyse will also include a client-side application called PocketCloud Windows to allow for more advanced processes. The Windows agent is available for free download.
Through Apple’s App Store, PocketCloud can be purchased and downloaded for $29.99 but companies can buy an enterprise license for PocketCloud if they run their own Enterprise iPhone App store.
