Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ adopts IBM desktop cloud service

The bank's systems division will use the service to establish a thin client environment which Big Blue says will improve security and business continuity as well as cut costs. Implementation is slated for completion by December.

IBM will also virtualise the desktop environments of PCs through its blade server and manage all IT resources for Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ's computers, including memory, CPUs and hard disks.
