Ceedo Personal: Windows Environment Running From USB Key
Introduced by Ma Labs, based on Super Talent USB 3.0 flash device
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on December 10, 2010 at 3:08 pmMa Labs, Inc., distributor of flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, will begin offering Ceedo Personal from Ceedo Technologies, Ltd. with Super Talent Technology Corporation‘s USB 3.0 Express RAM CACHE flash drives.
With the introduction of USB 3.0, external storage devices can now function at up to 10x. This new found speed blurs the line between internal and external storage and has enabled some exciting new usage models.
Ceedo Personal is a portable Windows environment that runs from a USB flash drive. It can transform a flash drive into a virtual PC. Using Ceedo, many standard Windows applications can now be made portable for use on any PC; making it possible to install, carry and run the same standard Windows applications.
By combining Super Talent’s Ceedo Personal and their USB 3.0 Express RAM CACHE drive, they are able to create a Windows Virtual PC environment that is fast, flexible and portable. The Ceedo virtual desktop is for anyone that uses more than one PC, shares a PC or travels. And since Ceedo works in user mode, it’s also for students. Computers located in the Computer Labs and campus libraries are generally ‘locked down’ in user mode with no hope of installing an application. Now students can take their applications with them and utilize any PC on campus as their own. For the traveler, the hotel business center becomes a much more productive place when you have your applications, browser, passwords, email clients and calendar with you.
The four channel architecture and DRAM caching system found in the USB 3.0 Express RAM CACHE not only works in USB 3.0 but also makes it a fast USB 2.0 drive. Four channels of cache enable to fill the USB 2.0 bus to capacity. And the DRAM Caching system delivers performance, even on the USB 2.0 bus. The caching system elevates small block performance which is very important for many Windows application calls.
"The introduction of USB 3.0 and DRAM cache has created a brand new breed of flash drives which are now outperforming the fastest of hard disk drives. Ceedo adds value to our product line by enabling customers to use flash storage in a whole new way. It enables you to install and carry standard Windows applications for use on any PC. Armed with our new USB 3.0 Express RAM Cache, now any PC is your PC", said SuperTalent COO, CH Lee.
The Ceedo Virtual Desktop bundle includes Ceedo Personal 4.0 and Backup & Restore.
