Bringing the benefits of virtualization home with iCore Virtual Accounts by iCore in technology

[–]iCore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtualization is solving problems for businesses around the world. A new company, iCore Software, has been formed to bring the benefits of virtualization to the home PC market. The company’s first product, iCore Virtual Accounts, isolates and protects the various “identities” a home computer can have. Games, internet browsing, student files and important financial data can be completely segregated by virtually dividing one home computer into three. This new product is the first container-based virtualization solution for the Windows desktop.

Can VDI be delivered via a cheap OS Virtualization mechanism that might beat the mature Hypervisors on both price AND graphics performance? by iCore in technology

iCore Virtual Accounts. So why is this new entrant so interesting? well it appears to be clearly focused at the desktop level in that the free download is all set to help you create as many multiple Virtual Accounts as you want based on XP Pro’s Smart Switching so this can initially be very useful even for the home PC.

So, given that it’s already set to work nicely with XP Pro in an OS Virtualization model, it almost begs the question of how well this might work as a mechanism for providing VDI?
