"Ulteo's new enterprise Open Virtual Desktop Solution is an attempt to break into the broader virtualization and remote desktop space. It's a market that is fiercely competitive with Citrix, VMware and Red Hat's Qumranet all angling for a piece of the market.

""So far we were focusing on an Online desktop that was running on our server, but now this is ready to be installed inside corporations, with a comprehensive administration console," Gael Duval, the company's founder, told InternetNews.com.

"The Ulteo Online Desktop is a hosted service that provides users with Web-based access to popular open source programs like OpenOffice 3.0 . Though Ulteo has a business model for the online desktop, it is only one part of the larger strategy that now includes the new enterprise Open Virtual Desktop Solution."
