Splashtop, Soliton Partner for Secure Remote Desktop Appliance
Splashtop, a provider of cross-device
computing and collaboration solutions, has partnered with IT security provider, Soliton, to develop the Soliton
SecureDesktop appliance.
Soliton SecureDesktop is based on Splashtop Enterprise and
delivers the solution as a secure, scalable appliance, according to a news
release from the companies. Soliton SecureDesktop enables students, faculty and
staff to access school files, applications and desktops — both physical and
virtual — from any device running iOS, Android, Windows or Mac operating
systems, through a secure remote access connection. To access resources
remotely, users must install Splashtop Center on their device.
According to Nobuo Kamata, president and CEO of Soliton,
bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives have created a need for organizations
to provide highly secure remote access to data and applications. Soliton
SecureDesktop is intended to fill that need.
Key features of the Soliton SecureDesktop appliance include:
- Integration with Soliton's "robust and secure" NAOS operating system for
Soliton appliances;
- Digital certificate authentication for BYOD mobility;
- Support for remote connections from iOS, Android, Windows and Mac
devices;
- Multimedia streaming at 30 frames per second, with less than 30
milliseconds of latency and synchronized audio; and
- Secure, on-premise administration console.
Further information about Splashtop Enterprise, on which Soliton
SecureDesktop is based, can be found on Splashtop's site.
