Re: Deepfreeze on vm's?

Not a publicity stunt.

I'm simply saying protect yourself in your purchase agreements.

 

I would expect by March 2012 all of the infringement notices will be out.

In fact I'll send your University the first infringement notice right now
Michael and I'll give you 30 days to stop infringing - this way you can be
convinced this is not a publicity stunt.

 

I find your attitude repulsive - I'm giving good advice - alerting you to a
problem and you would like to get the moderator involved?

You had it right in your first paragraph. Whatever the merits of your patent
case (and you will have to forgive my skepticism) you have no business
interjecting it into this discussion.

This is likely one of those situations where I should just continue to shut
my mouth until we are already to act but here goes:

 

My company Valt.X Technologies owns the patents in this area and we intend
to enforce our patents in 2012.

Here's my advice - if you are using Deep Freeze or any VDI - include in your
contract that they cover you for Patent Infringement.

 

Valt.X has just won its first public tender in Canada - we own this area and
intend to enforce our intellectual property rights.

 

Our position is that Deep Freeze is a blatant copy of Valt.X issued patents
and that VDI also infringes our patents - we intend to sue all infringers.

We are looking into VDI for all our computer labs. VMware View to be exact
with WYSE P20 Zero Clients. Roughly about 300 or more vm's for all the labs.

 

> From a virtual standpoint - do you see the need for Faronics Deepfreeze on
all computer lab vm's? Currently we are using Deepfreeze on our desktops in
all labs and has worked out great. For this situation, I'm not interested in
the security implications of why Deepfreeze is bad, just if its recommended
in a virtual environment.  

 

What are you doing in situations if a user profile gets hosed up with
malware in this vm enviroment?
