Nowadays, virtualization has reached the broadest range of openness and scalability with the virtualization products and services ranging from network and desktop to server to storage. Along with this, some problems may arise which are to be solved. Every virtual environment user faces one the most problematic issues, that is USB devices usage in virtual sessions.

The next-generation technologies gave possibility to deliver and manage local USB devices in a virtual machine with USB for Virtual Environment solution (I highly recommend the one, produced by FabulaTech) which rapidly configures and deploys any USB device. Designed for Windows and Linux OS and ensuring broad device compatibility, USB for Virtual Environment is VMware, VMware ESX, Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Hyper-V ready.

Here is how it works. The program comprises two parts:  Server and Client. Server side installs on the PC which USB devices are plugged in. Server side makes USB devices available over network. Client side installs on guest operating system (virtual machine). Client application allows connecting remote shared USB device.

USB for Virtual Environment has been developed to expand a virtual infrastructure and to get better control over network.

The solution is highly recommended for general users, enterprises, corporations, IT integrators, Small Office Home Office (SOHO), Educational organizations: all those, who want to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their IT operations.
