I thought it was an excellent session and you can find the recording here. We will be delivering the second webinar next Tuesday, November 11th at noon ET. We'll take the audience through the entire DaaS "value chain", first by having Michael Rose from IDC provide a market overview and then by having a customer (Pike County) and a service provider (IBM) talk about the benefits of DaaS, how the service is delivered and consumed, etc. Finally, we will have Paul Gaffney, our COO, talk about the role Desktone plays in all of this. It's shaping up to be another great event and we encourage you to register and tell your colleagues about it.

The solution is being powered by the Desktone Virtual-D Platform and will employ a cloud hosted architecture where the desktops will be running in an IBM data center. The school district's primary interest is in being able to migrate all their users to a common desktop image while simultaneously repurposing their various generations of PCs (running different versions of Windows) as access devices.

This is a big step forward for the desktop hosting business that Desktone is helping to pioneer. We believe that virtual desktops represent the next major hosting opportunity for service providers, building on the continued success of hosted web and email offerings. We are excited to be a part of this innovative solution.
