Norskale allows enterprise customers to deliver a faster and simpler access to their applications and desktops VUEM, our first software module, delivers the best possible user experience (fast logons, application response times, dynamic desktop, etc.) on any Windows-based desktop or application (physical or virtual). This is key for every DaaS/Windows-based SaaS initiative to deliver the best results for end users and to reduce TCO. Our second module, Transformer, allows to give to end users access to their applications in the simplest possible way (by delivering an immediate webapp/SaaS/virtualization rollout with big savings). Transformer can also convert any PC into a Windows thin client in a few second for an immediate rollout. All of this is deployed in just a few days (20,000 users deployed in 7 days), bringing customers a rapid and sizeable ROI. Many more benefits come with our technology but I guess it is worthwhile to mention our price point: at $38 per user retail price.
