Microsoft continues to step up its virtualization push, with the acquisition of desktop virtualization management software developer Kidaro.
Without disclosing a purchase price or when the deal is expected to close, Microsoft said it plans to acquire Kidaro and integrate its technology into the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance.
Kidaro offers management technology aimed at making it easier for enterprises to deploy, use, and manage virtual PCs. The platform comprises several components, including a client that handles encryption and firewall security and integrates the virtual machine applications into the end-user computer.
