Cloud Service Provider Launches InfiniteApp QuickBooks

Cloud hosting provider Infinitely Virtual has introduced InfiniteApp QuickBooks. Using Windows 2012 R2, InfiniteApp QuickBooks establishes a new industry standard for both pricing and functionality. Monthly plans are available for as low as $17/user, compared to $55/user for competing products. InfiniteApp QuickBooks plans max out at $22/user.

InfiniteApp, Infinitely Virtual’s versatile application virtualization platform, enables users to stream applications directly from the cloud, save data in the cloud or on a local computer, and access applications and data from Windows, Linux, Mac, iPad or Android devices. InfiniteApp QuickBooks is TouchCloud-enabled; Infinitely Virtual’s TouchCloud combines Windows 2012 Server and Windows 8 or 8.1 touch-screen capabilities, automatically touch-enabling all Windows 8/8.1 applications in the cloud.

Powering InfiniteApp QuickBooks is Infinitely Virtual’s proprietary Enterprise Virtualization Environment (E.V.E.)TM, which achieves 100 percent uptime. Every server is protected by VMware HA Clustering, SAN Clustering and a “redundant everything” architecture. Infinitely Virtual ensures the fastest possible performance with dynamic host load balancing and dynamic storage load balancing.

At the core of Microsoft’s Cloud Platform, Windows Server 2012 R2 brings global-scale cloud services into users’ infrastructure with new features and enhancements in virtualization, management, storage, networking, virtual desktop infrastructure, access and information protection, the web and application platform, and more.

“With InfiniteApp QuickBooks, we’re reinvigorating the QuickBooks hosting market, using the Windows 2012 shared environment,” said Adam Stern, CEO of Infinitely Virtual. “What’s in it for users? They’ll get the finest desktop experience available, at a price that is dramatically below anything else they can buy. InfiniteApp is a robust, evolving environment that was built to operate effectively with the latest iterations of application virtualization products from players like Microsoft and Intuit. Working together, these enhancements offer QuickBooks users an even more interactive hosting experience, enabling them to connect from anywhere, from any hosting device, any time. Users can see all their remote connections in the home screen and open them with a single touch, or connect to multiple remote desktops at the same time, or keep an eye on different sessions while they multitask. This is the new face of Infrastructure-as-a-Service in a ‘Do It For Me (DIFM) world.”

With InfiniteApp QuickBooks, users can stream QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Accountant & Enterprise directly to the desktop. They can share their QuickBooks data files with other users or customers regardless of where they are, anywhere in the world. All plans include universal print drivers, making printing (or PDF creation) to any local printer a snap.

InfiniteApp QuickBooks includes free onsite and offsite backup using Application-Consistent Snapshot technology. Users receive total data protection with daily onsite backups — six daily and four weekly. In addition, all data is replicated offsite throughout the day. With Infinitely Virtual’s Application-Consistent Snapshots, entire servers or individual files can be restored in minutes in a consistent state; database and disk transactions are complete, with zero data corruption. As an added feature, users can restore from recent daily backups using Windows Explorer.

InfiniteApp QuickBooks also includes free Perimeter Intrusion Detection & Prevention and Perimeter Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware. Every network transaction is inspected by Infinitely Virtual’s unique perimeter devices, blocking known attacks and CVEs. Viruses and malware transmitted over unencrypted connections are blocked before they reach the server. With up to FIPS-level encryption and optional multi-factor authentication, data is 100 percent secure.
