Business Trends Quarterly explores one of the hottest technologies on the market – Virtualization

Citrix’s Wes Wasson goes head-to-head with IDC’s Michael Rose on the benefits of application delivery and why executives must put this at the top of their list of priorities.

9/6/2007 » Business Trends Quarterly » In a face-off between Citrix vice president Wes Wasson and IDC associate research analyst Michael Rose, application delivery is covered from many different aspects. According to IDC, the major driver is the move to a dynamic business environment. Rose commented, “…application delivery is about building an infrastructure that gets users the applications and the data when, where and how they need it.” From Wasson’s perspective, CIOs should make application delivery a strategic priority because it makes it easier to manage change. “This is about enabling the people you work with to interact with the applications that are driving these business changes. “The discussion also delved into new technologies of desktop virtualization and operating system streaming.

Calling virtualization one of today’s hottest technologies, BTQ describes the latest innovations that are extending virtualization beyond the application tier into the logic and data tiers. The article highlights Citrix’s recent acquisition of XenSource, allowing the company to expand its application virtualization base into server and desktop virtualization – the latter a projected $1 billion market. On the horizon is the possibility of virtual Citrix Access Gateway and WanScaler appliances, as well. The piece concludes by emphasizing the increasingly important role of virtualization across all facets of application delivery.

1967 - Moore takes over the printing arm of what was then Computer Service and Printing (CSP) and ceases to operate through an agent. Continuous forms were imported at that time.

1970 - Moore manufactures continuous business forms in Jamaica for the first time. There were no more than about ten computers in the island, at that time. We also moved to our current address at 29 Slipe Pen Road in Kingston.

1976 - Merger with the DataForm Division of Uniprint Ltd. signals beginning of our rise to market leadership. The acquisition of Uniprint’s continuous forms presses, MICR encoding capabilities and top members of its management team sharpen our ability to tackle existing challenges.

1983 - Expansion of our three-colour capabilities, increased security features and introduction of customised watermark.

1986 - Re-tooling. Our pre-press operation gets a shot in the arm with acquisition of a computerised system and Dark Room equipment. These significantly improve the appearance of our products.

1989 - Another move in the making with the acquisition of additional office, storage and recreational space. New press equipment ushers in more value for customers.
