Plug into the Private Cloud

Stoneware's webNetwork allows organizations to create their own private cloud where they can easily plug in their existing web, Windows, and hosted web applications. Users accessing the private cloud can gain access to these applications and services from anywhere, at anytime.

Web Applications

By far, web applications are the dominant number of new applications being introduced into the enterprise today. Even though they are based on web technologies, IT organizations are still responsible for managing, securing, and provisioning access to this new application environment. Stoneware's webNetwork makes it easy for organizations to plug their web applications into the private cloud without the hassle of backend changes or custom development. Through the webNetwork private cloud, organizations can deliver the same concept of a desktop and applications that users have grown accustom to over the past two decades. Even though the underlying application technology has changed, the concept of a desktop, security, and delivery has not.

Windows Applications

Moving to a web-based, cloud computing model would be easy if we did not have to worry about Windows desktop applications. However, Windows still plays a significant role in enterprise IT and Stoneware understands that the private cloud solution would be severely limited if it did not provide a means of plugging in Windows applications. webNetwork provides organizations with the ability to plug their Windows application into the private cloud through application publishing and streaming. Through these technologies, organizations can easily deliver 90% of their Windows applications to users accessing the webNetwork system. Stoneware is the only company in the market today who is bridging the gap between Windows and web to deliver the customer a unified solution.

Hosted Applications

One of the growing challenges for IT today is to figure out how the increasing number of hosted applications fit into their traditional desktop delivery model. Although hosted applications may reduce support and management costs, it creates a problem where new isolated islands of applications are appearing within the enterprise each day. Stoneware sees the integration of these applications into the private cloud framework as critical in creating a single point of access to all applications and services. Stoneware's webNetwork enables organizations to plug their hosted services such as Google Docs, Zoho Office, Saleforce.com, etc. into the private cloud along with the other web and Windows applications. The ability aggregate all application technologies into a single, centralized desktop built on web technologies simplifies access for the end user, reduces the overall management costs, and defines the true purpose of private cloud computing.
