Next generation end-to-end desktop management solution.

MokaFive Suite is desktop management software that makes it easy to secure and update desktops and laptops across the enterprise. MokaFive enables you to create a virtual desktop that is centrally managed—yet distributed for local execution across thousands of devices—Macs, PCs, and bare metal.

MokaFive uses client virtualization to create your Windows virtual desktop, called a LivePC. LivePCs run locally on each users’ Mac, PC, or bare metal machine. LivePCs are centrally controlled from your MokaFive server. Changes to the golden LivePC image are automatically sent via differentials to each user.

LivePCs are automatically separated into three layers. This allows you to deploy a single golden corporate image to all users. Users can then customize images in the user application and data layers, while you maintain the ability to update the base corporate OS layer.

MokaFive Suite

IT benefits.

Manage Centrally. The MokaFive solution combines the benefits of centralized management with the distributed local computing power and flexibility of laptops and desktops. Enhance Security. Built-in capabilities like encryption, authentication and policy control enable organizations to meet the highest corporate security standards. Simplify Updates. With the MokaFive Suite, simply update and test a single “golden image” and the auto subscription technology automatically updates users—regardless of host OS or hardware variations.

User benefits

Anytime Access. Be productive anywhere. Users can access their secure desktop environment from home or on the road, online or offline. Freedom of Choice. Users can select their preferred platform—Mac, Windows, or bare metal. MokaFive Suite is the only solution to support them all. Self-Recovery from Failures. MokaFive’s rejuvenation technology enables users to heal their virtual desktops of malware or spyware with every reboot.

How people use MokaFive Suite.

Mobile Computing With MokaFive, you encapsulate your corporate build into a virtual desktop, which can run on any hardware, and can be reliably updated even for out-of-office workers.
Windows 7 Migration By encapsulating your Windows 7 build into a virtual LivePC image, you can remotely deploy the virtual machine without a deskside visit, and users can continue to run legacy XP applications on the host environment.
Mac in the Enterprise MokaFive allows you to create a single corporate Windows virtual desktop, and deploy that image to any hardware. As the image is updated centrally, MokaFive will distribute the updates to any platform, including USB sticks or SD cards.
Outsourcing With MokaFive, you provide contractors a download link, to self-provision a MokaFive virtual desktop on their own computer. When their project is over, you simply revoke their access or delete their virtual desktop.
BYOC MokaFive encapsulates the corporate environment and isolates it from infections on the personal host. Moreover, MokaFive encrypts all data and continuously scans for malware while the virtual machine is in use.

Product components.

MokaFive Management Server. MokaFive’s Management Server allows you to centrally control all of your users, images and policies. This infrastructure is lightweight, secure, and scales to support thousands of users in many locations. It fully integrates with Active Directory (AD), so users can login with their AD credentials, and you can target existing AD groups with images or policies. A robust set of reports and dashboards allows you to always see exactly what’s going on.

MokaFive Creator. An authoring tool for creating desired LivePC images. IT administrators also use the MokaFive Creator to capture application, patch, and policy updates to existing LivePCs. The LivePCs can be uniquely branded to include corporate colors, logos and taglines. IT administrators publish new and updated LivePCs to the Management Server for easy distribution.

MokaFive Player. With Player, users can run LivePCs securely and privately with respect to the host operating system. LivePCs can run securely on any personal or unmanaged device, Mac, PC, or bare metal. MokaFive Player can be downloaded from a link or distributed pre-loaded on a USB key, phone, or a corporate laptop.

What is a LivePC?

For corporate-owned machines, BareMetal Player installs directly on bare metal hardware. This maximizes performance and security of the LivePC, and allows you to avoid managing a host OS. You can use the same images and MokaFive controls the entire software stack of the machine.
