The companies also announced a strategic partnership to sell and market each other’s products, either individually or jointly, and to explore developing and deploying additional offerings for Linden Lab’s growing base of enterprise customers. With enterprise use of the Second Life Grid on the rise, organizations are investing more in their virtual environments and moving mission critical aspects of their businesses into the virtual world such as distance learning, product prototyping and collaboration. This migration has created demand for a solution that enables organizations to quickly implement, configure and populate a virtual world environment suitable for their needs. Immersive Workspaces meets these needs by pre-configuring workspace options and wrapping the Second Life Grid solution in a web-based framework rich with familiar tools and interfaces. |
