vRD 2010 to be launched at VMunderground (SF, August 30)

visionapp is going to release visionapp Remote Desktop (vRD) 2010 on September 1, 2009 — and will launch it two days beforehand — this Sunday!

visionapp will launch vRD 2010 in North America at VMunderground, a tech event and party the night before the VMworld show opens in San Francisco. VMunderground will be Sunday, August 30, 2009, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at Thirsty Bear Brewing Company, 661 Howard Street, San Francisco.

More than 200,000 IT administrators in over 50 countries are already using visionapp Remote Desktop, making it the market leader in multi-protocol remote desktop tools.“vRD has gained popularity with each version,” said Chuck Fritz, President and CEO of visionapp North America. “vRD 2010 adds the ability to launch external applications from within the vRD console. Engineers and IT admins tell us that functionality will save them hours of time.” This new feature allows the integration of any required tool, such as interfaces, connectivity reporting tools, support forums, and management boards.

vRD has been well received in the Windows administrator community. “I use visionapp Remote Desktop every single day,” said Tim Mendenhall of SeamonWhiteside + Associates. “It has become a staple point of my desktop support routine. A good 80% of my time is saved not having to visit computers directly or look them up manually.”

visionapp engineers spent months getting customer feedback on vRD 2009 to build vRD 2010. New features include an Autostart function (which allows connections to be restored automatically when the program starts up), database mode extensions, and granular rights management for all admins.

vRD 2010 will install on Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3 or higher), Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008,  Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Both x86 and x64 platforms are supported, both English and German are supported, and vRD has license options for a single administrator, a country company license, or a global license.

Until August 31, you can buy vRD 2009 at a Hot Summer Special discount and upgrade free to vRD 2010.
