Calista Technologies

Calista Technologies

Calista Technologies was a company that provided virtual device solutions for Windows. The general premise behind the technology was to provide an abstract virtual view of a hosting machine's devices from within a virtual machine through drivers for Windows Vista and Windows XP and present the user interaction to thin clients through RDP.

The company had 35 employees at its peak, including a hardware team which created an accelerated frame buffer capture and compression technology.

Calista Technologies was acquired [ [http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/348189_msftvirtual22.html| Microsoft to acquire maker of virtualization software] ] by Microsoft in January 2008 for more than $100 million in stock.
