Wick Hill Shipping Imation Ironkey For Windows To Go

Wick Hill, Ltd,
a part of the Wick Hill Group, is
shipping beta versions of Imation Corporation‘s
IronKey Workspace, certified for deployment of Windows To Go.

The IronKey Workspace lets organisations outfit mobile professionals with a
secure, fast USB platform to run Windows To Go from a USB stick on multiple
compatible PCs, an ideal solution for teleworkers, contractors and those
implementing BYOD strategies.

It is certified for
deployment of Windows To Go, a feature of Windows 8 that lets enterprise users
boot a full version of Windows 8 from an external USB drive on compatible host
PCs.

Ian Kilpatrick, chairman Wick Hill Group,
commented: "Imation’s IronKey
Workspace is an ideal solution for organisations to securely provide access for
contractors and remote users."

Organisations running Windows 8 Enterprise Edition can provision a Windows
desktop onto the IronKey Workspace to create a PC on a Stick – with the OS and data contained on the USB drive, while still leveraging
the host PC’s hardware and resources, such as monitors, cameras, and network
connections.

The IronKey Workspace provides a way to empower mobile workers with Windows To Go.

Features and benefits include:

Speed: The drive delivers over five times the minimum read/write performance
required for Windows To Go certified devices. Users will experience a
responsive and smooth-running system, thanks to USB 3.0
and sequential read performance of up to 400+ MB/s, and sequential write speeds
of up to 300+ MB/second.
Security: it protects an
organisation’s data by leveraging Windows To Go’s BitLocker password protection
capabilities and up to 256-bit AES full disk encryption. Devices, data, and
applications are protected the moment a user removes the drive from their host
PC.
Capacity options: Available in 32GB, 64GB,
and 128GB capacities to meet a range of user needs.

The IronKey Workspace for Windows To Go
will be available in the UK in early December through Wick Hill.
