Symantec released today their GoEverywhere (beta) solution, “a secure SaaS-based workspace that allows users to access their preferred third party web-based email, IM, office and other online applications from one central online location“.
The goEverywhere desktop is similar to your Windows desktop but it is hosted on the internet rather than locally on your computer. It is commonly called a “webtop”. Your webtop is located in the GO data center, safe and secure. Your data can be saved on your computer locally or you can use the SafeFiles storage service.
goEverywhere provides you exciting new features while eliminating many of the common computer management tasks we all hate to do.
New things you will be able to do with goEverywhere:
- Connect to and work from the internet on the same desktop from any computer
- Log into any location on the internet with one user name and password
- Access to many free applications and services on the internet
- Sharing of data, documents and photos
- Keep your data in one, secure and shareable location
Things you won’t have to do if you use goEverywhere as your desktop:
- Choose between a PC and Mac, your can use either or both
- Buy common software titles and utilities
- Install & update software applications
- Backup your files (if you use the storage service)
- Upgrade your OS
- Migrate to Vista
