"3. RingCube Technologies: What they do: RingCube is a desktop virtualization company. RingCube’s vDesk approach to virtual desktops is a novel one that they refer to as “workspace virtualization.” While RingCube offers standard “hosted” desktops, their vDesk platform moves beyond this use case to enable truly portable desktops.

"Users can download and store their entire desktops, complete with all their applications, settings and personalization, on a USB 2.0 drive. For remote and mobile workers, they take their corporate desktops with them. For organizations working with contractors or guests needing temporary computing access, vDesk can partition desktops on PCs or offer hosted access. Through vDesk, IT has the ability to enforce policies, revoke desktops as soon as a guest’s status expires and push out patches and updates.

"Customers: RingCube claims customers across several verticals, including financial services, government, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology. Their biggest named customer to date is the banking giant ING Group.

"For individual users, RingCube provides a free version of the software called MojoPac . Combined, vDesk and MojoPac have been downloaded more than one million times."
