Improved Efficiency in Government DULLES, Va., Sept. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IceWEB, Inc.(TM) (OTC Bulletin Board:
IWEB), http://www.iceweb.com/, today announced that the Company has
been awarded a key contract by a Federal Agency to provide its
Iplicity(TM) Unified Storage Platform to support a VMware Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment. The initial award is for a
16 terabyte platform and will enable the agency to commence testing
within their research and development laboratory prior to full
deployment. If the testing phase is successful, the contract may be
expanded to procure Iplicity systems to support in excess of 8000
VDI images and home directories. John R. Signorello, CEO of IceWEB,
Inc., commented on the contract award, "We are pleased that a
government agency has selected the Iplicity virtualization engine
for what we hope will be the first part of a large order. Iplicity
is generating a great deal of interest as both private enterprises
and the public sector adopts Virtualization and Cloud Computing
models in order to streamline their operations, improve efficiency
of resource utilization, and reduce costs." Iplicity was selected
because of its tight integration with VMware, Citrix XEN, and
Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization software. VDI (now included in
VMware's VMware View product suite) is VMware's solution which
allows the hosting and virtualization of individual Client
Operating Systems like Windows Vista or Linux on VMware ESX. The
intent is to be able to deploy, secure and manage enterprise
desktops within the data center. The VDI environment allows not
only centralized provisioning and management of enterprise
desktops, but file and data centralization as well, contributing
greatly to the requirement for scalable and easily managed storage
such as that provided by IceWEB's Iplicity solution. About IceWEB,
Inc. Headquartered just outside of Washington, D.C., IceWEB
manufactures and markets storage solutions and on-line cloud
computing application services. Its customer base includes U.S.
