A couple of days ago I blogged about Ceedo, and admittedly I didn’t really get it, even said so in the post. I get it now (Thanks Dror) and it’s brilliant, I can’t wait to try this out. Here’s an illustration that demonstrates the model.
What you’re seeing in step 2 is the user having access to all of the Software that was installed on the machine in step 1 of the illustration. It doesn’t matter that Photoshop, as an example isn’t installed on the computer in step 2, what matters is that Photoshop was installed on the computer in step 1 and so its virtual copy is available when Ceedo Mobile exposes the software footprint on the computer in step 2.
This is going to be real slick, especially for the traveler that isn’t too jazzed about lugging along a laptop. For the IT geeks in the crowd Ceedo, out of the box, virtualizes applications in User mode (no drivers or messy Admin privileges) and when the User unplugs from the machine Cedoo is gone without any trace of ever being there.
I’ve exchanged email with Dror Gill, Ceedo Chief Strategy Officer and asked which handset vendors they’ve lined up. Naturally, those discussions are confidential though he indicated that they’re having conversations with top-tier handset vendors. My guess is that you’ll see this sometime real soon.
Hey man, what an article! I am really impressed with the wording you used and the way you described all this.It was really informative for me as I was curious to know about how different contact devices work.
This is a great solution, a lot of virtualization on the desktop level is coming out now. VDI is going to be huge, in both business, consumer, and I think especially… education / medical industries. I think that the ability to have your PC working anywhere redefines the whole "mobile" concept. Furthermore, what people are not getting, but slowly are, when it comes to a virtual machine.. you aren't running a REMOTE control on a physical machine somewhere (i.e TeamViewer), but actually running on a machine that does not physically exist. I am currently running a similar steup on my iPad, so i can have my windows workstation on my ipad
