Managing desktops and replacing aging computers is a significant expense for every IT organization. The increasing pressure for consumerization, mobility, and influx of contract workers is making it even more difficult for IT teams to keep up.  At the same time, controlling access to data and preventing data breaches is now more important than ever as the number of data breach and data protection regulations grow worldwide.

Virtualization, which has reduced cost, increased security and availability, and enabled more agile business responses in the data center, is moving to the desktop. With a complete desktop stored on secure, portable storage, users can travel anywhere and always use their applications and data. And with always-on encryption and authentication, data remains secured and compliance maintained. Portable virtual desktops also allow contractors and temporary workers to have access to applications, data, and networks without additional hardware costs or risk of exposing unauthorized data.

IronKey solutions enable portable desktops

IronKey takes desktop virtualization to the next level by cutting the ties to the data center and removing reliance on high-bandwidth network connections. IronKey solutions, developed together with Lockheed Martin, MokaFive, and VMware deliver the latest desktop virtualization technology in a managed secure portable device that plugs into an employee's home computer, or almost any Windows PC. By isolating the workspace—the user's applications, data, and associated resources—from the PC hardware, these solutions provide the security enterprises need to outfit workers with a highly secure"work anywhere, anytime" computing environment. They also offer an ideal way to provide for business continuity and disaster recovery.
