deskMate expands to Asia
Press release from April 2021
Due to the continuing international demand for home office and remote training, Stuttgart-based Kivito GmbH is now expanding its desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) service deskMate to Asia.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic is already considered over in many Asian countries, the demand for home office and remote training solutions is steadily increasing there. „The topic of remote training in particular is currently also being driven forward among companies, as there are currently no face-to-face trainings and even where it would be possible, people prefer remote training,“ says Kivito Managing Director Michael Kurz.
„Hong Kong as a data center location is ideally suited for our Asian customers due to its good Internet backbone connection and geographical location,“ Michael Kurz continues.
The multi-redundant Tier III data center has a direct connection to the HKIX (Hong Kong Internet Exchange).
In addition to the data centers in Germany and the USA, Hong Kong is also operated as an independent instance. This ensures that data is processed exclusively in the data center where it is generated.
deskMate Cloud Desktops and deskMate Cloud Training Desktops will be available to customers from the Hong Kong data center starting in April.
Kivito GmbH not only operates the deskMate desktop-as-a-service service, but also develops the underlying virtualization technology. deskMate stands out from its competitors in particular due to its better usere experience and the simple and fast implementation of the solution. The ease of access via the web browser makes deskMate particularly interesting for the online training use case.
