Zero Clients and Blade PCs for Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Solutions
About ClearCube
In 1997, Andrew Heller, a former IBM Fellow, and Barry Thornton founded ClearCube, originally known as Vicinity Systems, in Austin, Texas. The company quickly became a leader in the development of blade PCs, a technology that allowed for centralized computing with remote access, which was revolutionary at the time.
ClearCube's journey was marked by its focus on desktop virtualization and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), which enabled businesses to manage and secure their computing resources more efficiently. This innovation attracted significant attention and investment, leading to multiple funding rounds. Notably, ClearCube raised $81.6 million from investors including Paladin Capital Group and Techno Venture Management.
Despite the competitive landscape, ClearCube carved out a niche by offering robust solutions that catered to industries requiring high security and reliability, such as government and financial services. The company's ability to adapt and innovate kept it at the forefront of the desktop virtualization market.
Over the years, ClearCube expanded its product offerings beyond blade PCs to include zero clients and other VDI solutions, maintaining its reputation as a pioneer in the field. Today, ClearCube continues to influence the industry with its cutting-edge technology, demonstrating the enduring impact of its founders' vision.
