Devon IT, an alternative desktop solution company and a provider of thin client solutions, announced its plans to launch Devon IT India during a three-city joint-roadshow with IBM. The roadshow will run from March 3-8, commencing in Bangalore, India, and continuing through Mumbai and Delhi.

Devon IT and IBM will meet with resellers, customers, and partners at various office locations to outline the companies' various alternative desktop solutions and components, including virtual hosted clients, Devon IT thin clients and connection broker software, and IBM Workstation Blades.

"Devon IT is ecstatic to be launching offices and operations in India, one of the world's cornerstones for information technology, and to be working with our business partner IBM in this region," says Joe Makoid, President, Devon IT. "This expansion speaks to our growth as a leader in alternative desktop computing. Our ability to provide, with our partners, business of any size and in any vertical with affordable, secure, and high-powered hosted client solutions has been key to our success, and we hope to continue our momentum as we tackle the Indian market."

"There's no longer a question concerning the adoption of thin clients and server-hosted desktop solutions, as more and more customers are deploying these solutions worldwide and across all major market verticals. Significant cost and energy savings, greater security and ease of management are among the benefits driving this adoption," said Dr. Tom Bradicich, IBM Fellow and vice president IBM Rack, Blade and x86 Servers. "IBM has a significant presence in India and the Asia Pacific regions, and we're happy to work with Devon IT to bring our customers the benefits of server-hosted desktop solutions."
