IT Wise, the sub-Saharan distributor for Thin Print, today announced that the latter's .print technology is now integrated into VMware ACE 2 to provide a secure driver-free printing experience.
VMware ACE is a breakthrough product that enables IT desktop managers to create a standard PC environment, including operating system, data and applications, wrap it with IT policies to protect the contents, package it into a virtual machine and deploy it to any managed or unmanaged licensed PC client.
VMware ACE enables administrators to create virtual machines that are isolated from the underlying PC on which they are deployed, providing a rich desktop experience for end-users while maintaining the control required by the governing IT organisation.
ThinPrint's driver-free .print technology is a patent pending, market-leading print management tool that enables VMware ACE users to easily and securely print to the host PC's local and network printers with no additional setup.
ThinPrint .print technology bridges the gap between the VMware ACE environment and the host PC, automatically mapping all available printers and enabling users to connect and print immediately following VMware ACE deployment.
"ThinPrint is pleased about the co-operation with VMware, the world's leading provider of software for industry-standard virtualised desktops and servers," commented Charlotte K"unzell, General Manager of ThinPrint GmbH. "And we are also proud because the integration of the ThinPrint .print technology in VMware ACE 2 emphasises the significance of our print management solution in the area of virtualisation."
