Computer Lab International (CLI) joins VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Alliance

Alliance Offers Users Increased Freedom and Flexibility in Integrated Desktop Offerings

Placentia, CA - June 22, 2006 - Computer Lab International™, Inc. (CLI), a leading provider of thin client and text terminal products, announced today that it is partnering with VMware, the global leader in virtualization software for industry-standard systems, to accelerate the adoption of desktop virtualization by joining VMware’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Alliance.

VMware’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Alliance is a technology alliance of hardware, software and service providers for building joint virtual desktop offerings.  As part of the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Alliance, CLI plans to collaborate with VMware to create, test and integrate joint desktop hosting offerings based on VMware virtual infrastructure and CLI thin clients.

Using VMware’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and CLI’s thin clients, IT administrators host and centrally manage desktop virtual machines in their data center while offering end users a full desktop experience that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. Businesses benefit by alleviating the cost and time spent managing and securing desktop PCs, especially for companies with remote workers or outsourced operations. IT administrators ensure desktop standardization, security and compliance for increased manageability.

“CLI is very pleased to be partnering with VMware in the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Alliance,” comments Michael Oliva, CLI’s Director of Marketing.  “CLI thin client terminals, used within the VMware virtual infrastructure to access hosted desktops, deliver the ability to bring new capabilities to users, with reduced risk, in less time, and at a much lower cost than PCs.  CLI is looking forward to working together with VMware to provide customers with seamless virtualization solutions.”
