CLOSTER, New Jersey, July 20, 2011 -

PowerTerm
WebConnect 5.8 (beta) supports the widest variety of end-user
devices for accessing virtual desktops and hosted applications

Ericom Software, a leading global provider of application access
and virtualization solutions today announced the newest version
(beta) of its flagship product line, Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect
5.8. PowerTerm WebConnect enables organizations of all sizes to
deliver secure and centrally managed, on-demand access to desktops
and applications running on Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS)
/ Terminal Services, VDI platforms and other systems.

Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect allows organizations to migrate from
physical PCs to centrally hosted virtual desktops and applications,
increasing productivity and empowering remote workers. The solution
lowers the cost of managing PCs and IT overheard related to user
support.  In addition, IT infrastructure investments are
protected by combining the robustness, performance, and
affordability of both server-based computing and VDI technologies,
further streamlining organizational expenditures, which is a
priority in uncertain economic conditions.

“This new release represents another leap in terms of increased
productivity and benefits for IT organizations and users alike,”
said Eran Heyman, Ericom founder and CEO.  ”We remain fully
committed to our market and vision of a high performance, full
featured and cost-effective solution capable of unifying access
management for applications running on a wide range of environments
using the widest possible variety of end-user devices, realizing
the vision of ubiquitous access.”
