Belkin Announces Partnership with ClearCube Technology

Belkin today announced a strategic partnership with ClearCube, a provider of virtual desktop products for cloud computing, rack-mounted secure workstations, and blade PCs. The partnership will yield the ClientCube, an industry-first solution designed to allow government employees to securely switch between different virtualized networks that are on separate zero customers.

Tightening budgets and government mandates continue to push government agencies toward virtualization for its sheer convenience, reduced energy usage, and significant cost savings. ClientCube will offer secure access to multiple virtualized desktop, storage, and network environments through a single chassis to government agencies dealing with increasingly virtualized environments.

"Our investment and focus in the public sector is aligned with our overall customer-first approach-designing solutions to solve end-user pain points," said Luis Artiz, director of product management at Belkin. "This partnership and the solution coming out of it are proof positive that we are committed to developing new ways to use Belkin advanced research solutions to help government clients keep up with security needs as research continues to evolve towards the cloud."

Belkin's Advanced Secure DVI-I Keyboard-Video-Mouse switches allow secure access to multiple systems and different classes of networks from a single user console. ClearCube's zero customers connect the user's monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and USB peripherals to their PC blade or virtual machine without the use of an operating system or local storage. The ClientCube solution will allow secure, easy switching between physical and virtual desktops, optimizing productivity for end users.
