Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Boot Storm Surprises Audience with
New Standard for Low Cost per Seat

Iomega and VMware bring Enterprise Class VDI to SMBs and Distributed
Enterprises

SAN DIEGO – May 26, 2011 – Iomega, an EMC company (NYSE: EMC) and a
global leader in data protection, today announced a “first” in
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for small- and medium-sized
businesses and distributed offices when 100 thin clients with VMware
View 4.6 were simultaneously booted in a matter of minutes – an
unheard of VDI implementation utilizing a sub-US$3,000 network storage
device.

Before thousands of IT professionals at the recent EMC World in Las
Vegas, the six-bay desktop high performance and scalable Iomega®
StorCenter™ px6-300d – utilizing two 128GB* solid state drives and
four 2TB** hard disk drives – booted 100 Wyse clients to VMware View
on Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) server platform in less than
five minutes, establishing a new low cost, high performance bar for VDI
deployments for today’s small installations, such as a Fortune 500
call centre or a professional services firm. To see the video of this
amazing demonstration, please go to

“VDIs are taking enterprise IT installations by storm today, but
until now small- and medium-sized businesses and distributed offices
didn’t have the capabilities to take advantage of the cost savings and
management simplicity,” said Jonathan Huberman, President of Iomega.
“With the power of EMC companies VMware and Iomega, the advantages
of VDI are now accessible to whole new segments of businesses and others
for less cost than ever. The new Iomega StorCenter PX series products
are powerful business-class network storage devices that were created
using the same practices that produce EMC’s enterprise network storage
products. This demonstration continues Iomega’s multi-year history of
collaboration with VMware and why we were the first in our class to have
the full VMware certification. This demo is one more example of
Iomega’s thought leadership in this space and our close
relationship with VMware – all because Iomega is part of the EMC
family.”
