Experton Group recognizes tocario as Technology Innovator for Cloud Work-
spaces
Stuttgart, June 11, 2014. The Experton Group awarded Stuttgart IT company to-
cario as "Cloud Rising Star" last Thursday in the 2014 Cloud Vendor Benchmark.
According to this independent study, the company is one of the best and most
innovative providers of cloud workplaces in the cloud services market. The 2014
Cloud Vendor Benchmark was published for the 5th time this year; it is a neutral,
independent comparison of the most important cloud providers in Germany.
A total of more than 420 providers of cloud technologies, cloud services and cloud
transformation services were rated in the Experton Group's latest study and tocario's
Desktop-as-a-Service solution achieved inclusion in the new Cloud Workplaces catego-
ry straightaway. Only twelve national and international providers in this category were
identified as market relevant, including the German start-up company tocario which was
recognized as a genuine innovator for cloud workplaces according the analysts' verdict.
One reason for this is the fact that it is a simple, secure solution that offers several ad-
vantages, especially for SMEs.
Tocario is therefore regarded as an interesting product challenger that is taking on ma-
jor international providers.
Its deskMate cloud desktop solution is based on in-house developed, patented “True
DaaS Technology” which is optimized for relatively small bandwidths. Additionally, any
x86 operating system with all the usual applications can be operated in the cloud – this
is a worldwide unique capability. Another advantage is that the service is offered without
any minimum order quantity. Customers do not need to make any big upfront invest-
ments saving on capital expenditures and desktops can be flexibly added or removed
on a monthly basis. The security aspects of the solution, ensured by operation in a certi-
fied German data center with additional encryption in accordance with the most exact-
ing technical standards, are other selling points for small and medium-size enterprises.
Finally, in contrast to other solutions, customers can repatriate their data and desktops
without any problem, thanks to standardized virtualization, and carry on processing
them in their own data centers.
"We are very pleased to have been singled out as a rising star. The verdict of the ex-
perts confirms our strategy and our technology. This independent view on the market
enables interested companies to make decisions with complete peace of mind and al-
lows us, as a young provider, to get noticed even when up against multinational corpo-
rations. We may not be as big or have the market strength of other competitors but
when it comes to portfolio attractiveness and innovative technology we have managed
to successfully position ourselves against bigger global brands," explains Carsten Un-
nerstall, tocario's CEO.
The Experton Group expects expenditure on cloud technologies to continue to rise. The
market is, especially in the cloud workplace area, now evolving and, significant growth
can be expected in the next few years with a move away from individual solutions (from
the private cloud) towards standardized "pre-packaged" solutions (from the public
cloud). In the case of cloud workplaces, a distinction is therefore made between Man-

aged VDI and Desktop-as-a-Service solutions and technologies. This evolution of the
market is only just getting started and the offering is still limited. tocario's technology
makes it one of the few companies that is able to offer a genuine Desktop-as-a-Service
already today.
The Experton Group reports that German companies will spend around €6.6 billion on
cloud technologies, cloud services and associated consultancy and integration services
- including network services - in 2014.
This growth is also driven by a continuing, sustainable trend towards digitizing all busi-
ness processes and business models across nearly all sectors of business and com-
merce.
