Enterprise Desktop on a USB Key

The company says the device enables organisations to hand out a USB drive with a fully operational, encrypted corporate-managed desktop rather than investing in more laptops or server infrastructure for remote desktops.

Kidaro has designed the solution with mobile users such as those working from home, road warriors, and subcontractors in mind. The software works with virtualisation solutions from VMware and Microsoft and enables users to simply plug the drive into any workstation to gain immediate access to policy-based corporate applications and resources.

Company CEO Ran Kohavi says Corporate ?to-go? provides the ultimate in end-user flexibility and mobility. ?It?s not just a mobile desktop: it?s a corporate-controlled desktop solution that provides IT operations with full lifecycle control over their mobile workforce laptops and even non-corporate remote,? he said.

Kidaro pushes the right buttons when it comes to desktop virtualization,? says Andi Mann, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. ?Its innovative Managed Workspace provides a highly secure virtual desktop environment, but with an unobtrusive and seamless end-user experience.

SanDisk Goes Two-Wheeling with Extreme Ducati Edition USB Flash Drives

Asus and Acer have Lamborghini and Ferrari-emblemed laptops, so why can't the same kind of branding happen on a smaller scale? That question has now been answered. Sandisk has announced a new line of USB flash drives that mimic the appearance of high-end motorcycles. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the SanDisk Extreme Ducati Edition flash drive.



The official memory product of the Ducati Corse, the motorcycle-maker's subsidiary that "deals with the firm's involvement in motorcycle racing." As you can tell from the photograph provided, the styling on this thumb drive has clearly been inspired by the high-end bikes.

Like the Ducati two-wheelers that have a tendency to tear it up on city streets and on the track, these Extreme Ducati flash drives are also said to boast some of the fastest data transfer speeds -- about 20MB/sec -- in Sandisk's stable. The standard 4GB model sells for $125.

What is a USB Flash Drive?

USB flash drives are compact and easy-to-use flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB interface. The term "USB flash drive" is a generic term used to describe these products without specifying a particular manufacturer. USB flash drives are sold by many different companies under a variety of different proprietary product names such as JumpDrive, DataTraveler and Attaché, to name just a few. The term "USB flash drive" is used in the same manner that the term "DVD" and "CD-RW" are used; to describe the technology in generic terms. Other common names and terms are pen drive, memory stick and thumb drive.

They're virtually universally compatible with all Laptop and Notebook PCs running Windows 98SE and higher, as well as many MAC OS systems that have a USB port.

USB flash drives sales in 2006 are forecasted to reach 150 million units, with that number growing to 340 million in 2008, consisting of approximately 75% smart drives, according to Web-Feet Research.

About UWB Design for Next-Generation Handset-Centric Applications - Site 1

By Mark Bowles (Founder & Vice President of Business
Development & Marketing at Staccato Communications)

In today’s highly competitive and evolving market for wireless communications services, mobile operators are facing a constantly shifting mix of opportunities and challenges. On one hand, the ubiquity of mobile phone handsets and on-going consolidation of wireless networks have created a powerful asset that mobile operators need to leverage to maximum advantage. On the other hand, the
challenges of subscriber churn, the commoditization of voice services, and
competition from less regulated mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) mean that mobile operators must proactively offer new enhanced services to improve subscriber loyalty and to maximize average revenue per user (ARPU). (more…)

Flash Drives Become A Popular Method Of Promotion

When Toyota recently promoted its 2006 Lexus RX 350 sports utility vehicle in a U.S. mass mailing, it didn't print up glossy brochures and cram them into bulky envelopes. Instead, it sent out 21,000 digital devices smaller than cigarette lighters.

While some recipients may have been confused at first, they surely caught on when they pulled off a plastic cap and found a familiar Universal Serial Bus plug. Sticking the plug into a computer USB port, they gained access to the device and its contents: RX 350 pictures, video clips, interactive demos and more. Lexus isn't the only company that is handing out such gizmos — which go by such names as thumb drive, pen drive, pocket hard drive and USB flash drive — like candy.

The storage devices, which keep digital data in non-mechanical “flash” memory, have displaced the venerable floppy diskette as a convenient means for transporting and distributing computer files. As a result, the flash drives have become popular among companies that distribute promotional materials by mail, at industry gatherings or in meetings to clinch deals.

Flash drives are becoming the new darlings of conventions and trade shows, largely because of their increasing ubiquity and affordability. About 30 million were sold worldwide last year, including about 5 million in the United States.

When Frank Beeck of Brooklyn Park, Minn.-based Siemens Transportation Systems prepares for one of his industry's exhibits, he no longer needs to weigh himself down with printed materials.

Increasingly, he puts his information on 64-megabyte flash drives because these can be quickly reloaded with updated info if necessary. An alternative he considered, the CD-ROM, can't be updated once recorded and must be replaced with a newly burned disc. This takes too long, Beeck said.

Beeck's flash drives proved so popular at one recent transportation show that he ran out even though he had tried dipping into his stash of several dozen devices selectively. No matter: He dashed to a local Radio Shack store and bought a fresh batch.

Marlene Nelson of St. Paul, Minn.-based Sight Creative and Interactive multimedia-design company creates a variety of promotional materials for corporate customers such as Medtronic. She is increasingly putting the materials on flash drives.

Their key advantage, said Nelson, is that they can be reused. Once recipients have perused the devices' contents, they're free to use the drives for their own files. The “killer application” for such drives remains portable storage, said Steffen Hellmold, the group's president, but he said they have other uses—as authentication devices for locked rooms, cars or computers, for instance.
