Experton Group recognizes tocario as Technology Innovator for Cloud Workspaces

STUTTGART, Germany - June 18, 2014 - PRLog -- Stuttgart, June 11, 2014. The Experton Group awarded Stuttgart IT company tocario as "Cloud Rising Star" last Thursday in the 2014 Cloud Vendor Benchmark. According to this independent study, the company is one of the best and most innovative providers of cloud workplaces in the cloud services market. The 2014 Cloud Vendor Benchmark was published for the 5th time this year; it is a neutral, independent comparison of the most important cloud providers in Germany.

A total of more than 420 providers of cloud technologies, cloud services and cloud transformation services were rated in the Experton Group's latest study and tocario's Desktop-as-a-Service solution achieved inclusion in the new Cloud Workplaces category straightaway. Only twelve national and international providers in this category were identified as market relevant, including the German start-up company tocario which was recognized as a genuine innovator for cloud workplaces according the analysts' verdict. One reason for this is the fact that it is a simple, secure solution that offers several advantages, especially for SMEs. Tocario is therefore regarded as an interesting product challenger that is taking on major international providers.

Its deskMate cloud desktop solution is based on in-house developed, patented “True DaaS Technology” which is optimized for relatively small bandwidths. Additionally, any x86 operating system with all the usual applications can be operated in the cloud – this is a worldwide unique capability. Another advantage is that the service is offered without any minimum order quantity. Customers do not need to make any big upfront investments saving on capital expenditures and desktops can be flexibly added or removed on a monthly basis. The security aspects of the solution, ensured by operation in a certified German data center with additional encryption in accordance with the most exacting technical standards, are other selling points for small and medium-size enterprises. Finally, in contrast to other solutions, customers can repatriate their data and desktops without any problem, thanks to standardized virtualization, and carry on processing them in their own data centers.

"We are very pleased to have been singled out as a rising star. The verdict of the experts confirms our strategy and our technology. This independent view on the market enables interested companies to make decisions with complete peace of mind and allows us, as a young provider, to get noticed even when up against multinational corporations. We may not be as big or have the market strength of other competitors but when it comes to portfolio attractiveness and innovative technology we have managed to successfully position ourselves against bigger global brands," explains Carsten Unnerstall, tocario's CEO.

The Experton Group expects expenditure on cloud technologies to continue to rise. The market is, especially in the cloud workplace area, now evolving and, significant growth can be expected in the next few years with a move away from individual solutions (from the private cloud) towards standardized "pre-packaged" solutions (from the public cloud). In the case of cloud workplaces, a distinction is therefore made between Managed VDI and Desktop-as-a-Service solutions and technologies. This evolution of the market is only just getting started and the offering is still limited. tocario's technology makes it one of the few companies that is able to offer a genuine Desktop-as-a-Service already today.

The Experton Group reports that German companies will spend around €6.6 billion on cloud technologies, cloud services and associated consultancy and integration services - including network services - in 2014. This growth is also driven by a continuing, sustainable trend towards digitizing all business processes and business models across nearly all sectors of business and commerce.
