MUMBAI: PVR Cinemas has chosen Thinspace TSE for cost-efficient application delivery technology. Thinspace Technology Inc is a global provider of reliable, scalable and affordable application delivery, virtualization, and cloud client technology.

PVR’s cinema circuit comprises 462 screens at 104 locations across 44 Indian cities. Prior to upgrading to Thinspace TSE, PVR had been using a version of Citrix that was outdated and too costly for its growing user base. Moreover, some applications required different server OS for different type of apps and not all platforms were supported with that version.

The IT team found Thinspace TSE to be a cost effective alternative to Citrix to deliver Microsoft Navision ERP application delivery to its distributed user base. TSE displayed similar functionality as Citrix with the support of latest Windows server OS at a fraction of the cost. Thinspace also provides PVR with a dedicated customer support and easy-to-use web-based management console, which is simpler to manage than Citrix.

Thinspace CEO Chris Bautista said, “PVR is one of our fastest deployments. We had more than 100+ users switched from Citrix to Thinspace within a day. The simplicity of the solution enabled PVR to see a direct value in our product. PVR also appreciated our dedicated customer support and web-based management console which is easier to manage than our competition.”

Thinspace Technology operates in high growth B2B markets of desk top virtualization and cloud computing solutions – which make it easier, more flexible and more affordable for companies and IT managers to conduct and streamline computing operations securely from any server - anywhere in the world. 

Thinspace achieved third quarter 2014 revenue of $2.322 million, and nine months ended 30 September, 2014 revenue of $5.701 million, representing year-over-year improvements of 464 per cent and 479 per cent, respectively.

Gartner research predicts the global desk top virtualization market to surpass $65 billion in 2015.
