Route1 Signs Solution Partner Agreement with ClearCube

· Issued by Route1 Inc. via CNW
TORONTO, Dec. 13 /CNW/ - Route1(TM) (TSX-V:ROI), an innovator in mobile
thin-clients, today announced it's joining the ClearCube Solution Network, the
technology partnership program of ClearCube Technology. ClearCube, based in
Austin, TX, is a market leader and pioneer in PC blade computing. By executing
this agreement, Route1 and ClearCube are establishing an integrated marketing
plan for their combined technologies, including Route1's new Mobi Solution, a
platform that enables instant secure, remote computing using ClearCube I/Port
user ports, PC blades, and management software.
"We're looking forward to working with ClearCube as our product sets are
very synergistic," said Andrew White, CEO Route1. "Both companies share a
common vision in improving IT security, availability and the end-user
experience. Both products deliver compelling IT mobility benefits."
Route1's Mobi solution allows users to remotely operate office computing
and network resources seamlessly and securely while traversing networks. The
solution comprises hardware, software and the managed MobiNET service which
authenticates users and devices and encrypts all data transactions using
technology from RSA. With MobiNET, systems behind firewalls actually follow
users and establish connections. Since no applications or data reside on the
mobile devices, organizations can assure compliance with privacy, security and
governance regulations.
With ClearCube PC Blades, the traditional PC is removed from the end
user's desk and replaced with a small user port. These ports are connected via
existing cable infrastructure to PC Blades located in racks in a central,
secure location. End-users work on ClearCube PC Blades with the latest
Pentium 4 and Xeon processors as a desktop computing platform available from
anywhere in the world. Combined with the MobiKEY for highly secure, simplified
remote access, this architecture represents the ideal combination of
centralized management, remote accessibility, and high performance for end
users, all with industry leading hardware and data security.
"Route1's Mobi Solution complements our centralized computing model,"
said Raj Shah, Chief Marketing Officer, ClearCube. "PC blade adoption has
grown quickly in financial services, healthcare, and government, areas that
Route1 is also targeting with its mobile thin-clients."
Route1's mobile devices include the MobiKEY, the world's first USB   
thin-client that turns any internet-connected Microsoft Windows PC into an
instant Virtual Private Office running applications and data located
elsewhere; and the MobiBook PRO, a wireless WinCE thin-client featuring full
keyboard, large screen, and 6-10 hour battery life. Both devices require a
monthly subscription to Route1's MobiNET service to remotely run applications
and data on PC blades.
