According to the anti-virus firm, the link-up will allow it to start servicing the enterprise anti-virus sector, where a number of large companies are turning to desktop virtualisation as a secure solution for bring your own computer (BYOC) and work from home initiatives for employees.
The gameplan now is to integrate AVG anti-virus into the MokaFive virtual desktop management suite to provide what is claimed to be the industry's first complete solution for a secure virtual desktop that can be deployed directly on the end user's personal machines.
AVG says that the solution enables consumers that work for enterprises to use AVG's free software to protect their personal workspace, whilst at the same time assuring that sensitive corporate information contained in the virtual desktop is always kept safe.
Commenting on the linkup, JR Smith, AVG Technologies' CEO, said that virtual desktops are the future, and AVG strives to be at the forefront in providing integrated security solutions for users.
Dale Fuller, MokaFive's CEO, meanwhile, said that his firm is continuing its lead in virtual desktop management by extending the security perimeter of the enterprise to users' personal machines.
"With the addition of AVG's anti-virus, MokaFive enables corporations to offer flexible work from home and BYOC initiatives without compromising security", he said.
