Data Stored on the Desktop is a Major Security Risk says Symbio Technologies

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y.----Symbio Technologies (www.symbio-technologies.com), an innovator in stateless computing, grew up with PCs. But now the company's co-founders, Roger Del Russo and Gideon Romm, offer some “heartfelt advice” to today’s government and business people, telling them that “data stored on the desktop creates a major security risk.” Mr. Del Russo and Mr. Romm are advocates of and innovators in stateless computing –where no operating system or any other valuable information or data is stored on the desktop – for businesses, government, schools and other distributed

computing environments. “It’s the 21st century iteration of how corporate computing started some three and a half decades ago, with mainframes attached to terminals, and everyone’s information was centrally stored and managed,” Mr. Del Russo said.

“Using diskless and stateless thin clients and Symbio’s proprietary boot appliance that boots and links them to the server, we've created server-centric computing that works at the speed of today’s lightening-fast servers,” Mr. Romm added. “And the data is secure – really safe – because users perform all work on the secured servers. Their data that appears on their monitor never leaves the server.” Peter Tierney, managing director of World Technology Corporation, a leader in the export management and international business development, knows “first-hand that security is an international problem” and “believes Symbio has developed an international solution.” His company, based in New York City with offices worldwide, works with Symbio and other U.S. and European hi-tech companies to build and manage their international distribution networks. “The ability to protect personal data in the workplace is becoming a hot topic in our Asian markets, and the Symbio solution is being viewed as an innovative and very cost-effective alternative,” he said, "a product that complies with laws about data security right out of the box that we can offer to resellers in Korea, Japan, Singapore, Australia, and throughout Asia.”
