Microsoft SoftGrid Finally Resurfaces!

After a year of waiting since the merger, Microsoft finally releases some info on its rebranded Softricity SoftGrid product, now titled Microsoft SoftGrid. A Technical Preview was released earlier this month and the full version is expected to release in July.

An InfoWorld article discusses some of the features we can expect out of this update...

Enhanced client scalability: improvements to allow very large deployments and integration with ESD systems, such as System Center Configuration Manager

Availability and maintainability: the most stable and reliable version of SoftGrid to date

Security tightening: the first SoftGrid release to go through the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) and enhancements to support internet-facing scenarios

Globalization and localization: support for both virtualizing non-English language applications and running the SoftGrid user interface in certain non-English languages
