Zylog Systems Ltd Unveils "PowerCube" DaaS in the U.S., Africa and India
Powered by IBM Client for Smart Work and Canonical's Ubuntu Operating System
Tweet-- Zylog Systems Ltd (ZSL), a leading ISV & Global Software Solutions and Services provider, today launched "PowerCube" DaaS (Desktop as a Service), an open source-based desktop collaborative solution with supporting Zylog Systems Ltd consulting practice. Available today in the U.S., Africa, and India, "PowerCube" will help mid-market customers using proprietary platforms to migrate to the IBM Client for Smart Work on Ubuntu's operating system.
Intended for PCs, laptops, netbooks and thin clients as an alternative to commercial desktops and platforms, the Zylog Systems Ltd "PowerCube" solution includes packaged services for migrating to the IBM Client for Smart Work, from user segmentation, TCO analysis, BPM based role identification and SOA, to application migration, pilot and production deployment. The DaaS capabilities provide customers with the option of using virtual desktops based on VERDE from Virtual Bridges on a private cloud managed by Zylog Systems Ltd or on customer premise.
According to market estimates, migrating to proprietary software costs around $2,000 per seat for many PC users, and hardware requirements alone contribute a significant portion. With PowerCube, companies can save up to 60 percent on costs per seat against commercial platforms. This includes 50 percent savings in software licensing and upgrade spending, as well as 10 percent savings in implementation.
"The Linux-based IBM Client for Smart Work underscores IBM's commitment to open, standards-based collaboration that improves productivity while reducing costs," said Dr. Bob Sutor, VP, Linux and Open Source, IBM. "IBM applauds our partner Zylog Systems Ltd for using the IBM Client for Smart Work to free mid-market customers who were previously locked in to other desktop solutions."
Zylog Systems Ltd's consulting practice brings together the strengths in open source platforms and IBM technologies based on IBM Client for Smart Work to speed up IBM Client for Smart Work implementation at competitive costs. The DaaS option allows mid market customers to get started quickly and focus on their business rather than worry about the desktop infrastructure.
"Zylog Systems Ltd being the trail blazer for emerging technologies, established rapid proof points for reducing TCO and optimizing workforce productivity with a pilot deployment of PowerCube-DaaS in our R&D group," says Shiv Kumar, Executive Vice President at Zylog Systems Ltd. "We are seeing significant customer demand to specialize PowerCube-DaaS based on industry specific roles and optimize them around differentiated business processes."
