Wanova Mirage is not traditional desktop management: it allows full centralization of each desktop so IT gets better control, single image management, and the ability to move this desktop around to support hardware migration, quick replacement of lost laptops, and other use cases.

Nor is Mirage a client-based hypervisor or ‘offline VDI’ solution. Instead, users run a local copy of their desktop without any type of hypervisor, so they get optimal performance, the ability to work online and offline, and the whole system is optimized to work effectively over a WAN.

It seems an appropriate time to reflect on what we’ve achieved in the past 365 days.

• Launched Mirage 1.3 in March, after an extensive (and oversubscribed) beta program. We are grateful for our active, vocal beta testers who helped make our product even better.
• Wanova was voted one of 10 startups to watch in 2010 by Network World.
• Gartner included Wanova as a ‘Cool Company in Client Computing’ for 2010
• Continued successful deployment of Mirage at customer accounts.
• Signed several significant partnerships (stay tuned for more on this!)

In any case, as a marketing person, I’m thrilled to stand behind a product that has been described by our customers as ‘groundbreaking’, ‘game-changing’, and ’setup is flawless, quick and easy.’

Stay tuned – we have lots of great news to post at VMworld. We’ll be tweeting and blogging all week. Follow us on Twitter @wanova and @mborovac. See you at VMworld!
