dinCloud today announced a partnership with CDW, a provider of technology solutions to business, government, education, and healthcare. The agreement allows CDW to offer and sell dinCloud’s award winning Hosted Virtual Desktops (HVDs) and related cloud services, including its high performance servers, and cloud-based storage.
“Cloud solutions continue to gain popularity as businesses look to conserve resources by offloading data center management, while gaining the IT flexibility to meet their evolving business needs,” said Stephen Braat, vice president, cloud and managed solutions, CDW. “CDW’s hosted virtual desktop offering, powered by dinCloud, puts the direct benefits of cloud computing in our customers’ hands.”
Through its partnership with dinCloud, CDW’s hosted virtual solutions offerings include:
- dinServer – dinCloud’s hosted virtual servers provide their own private data center, including a firewall, private virtual server, network and storage. Combined with dinCloud’s ability to establish private links to a customer’s existing data center, helping to support a hybrid cloud environment.
- dinManage - dinCloud’s cloud orchestration and provisioning tool gives users complete control to configure, upgrade, downgrade, add or remove servers as needed.
- dinStorage D3 – This Amazon API-compatible S3 cloud storage alternative provides economical storage, wide application compatibility and unlimited bandwidth usage. With no transfer fees, D3 collaborates seamlessly with an array of third-party products and can replicate data across multiple data centers.
- dinHVD and webHVD – Hosted Virtual Desktops (HVDs) run from a private virtual data center, enabling administrators to provision resources within minutes. Users have access to the same workspace, regardless of device (laptop, desktop, iPad or Android). webHVD, dinCloud’s latest generation hosted virtual desktop, is easily accessible from Google’s Chrome browser on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or any Google Chromebook.
“We are thrilled that CDW introduced dinCloud to our team. Like many companies in post-acute healthcare, Medicalodges was struggling to keep up with infrastructure-driven regulatory compliance,” said Steve Arndt, CIO at Medicalodges Inc. “Partnering with dinCloud provides us with a cost-effective method of ensuring security and compliance, while freeing up time for our staff to focus on industry-related projects.”
