Cloud gaming company said Wednesday that it has gone beyond gaming into the enterprise space of remote desktops.

OnLive said it would partner with Juniper Networks, which will become the hardware partner for OnLive within its network. OnLive will also deploy Junos Pulse, a secure remote access solution for smartphones, tablets, laptops and netbooks to remotely access OnLive cloud-based apps.

Until now, cloud gaming - where the computational power and graphics are abstracted into the cloud, rather than on a local PC or console - has been considered one of the most difficult applications for cloud gaming. HTC has already into the company, and the OnLive gaming technology will come to .

In some ways, simply moving a mouse over a Word document is child's play. However, OnLive said that it would use the technology to "deploy media-rich content and bandwidth-intensive applications can be delivered instantly, simply and securely to mobile desktops and devices via the cloud".

"A remote desktop experience would be the same as a local desktop experience on any connected device, regardless of the application or content, so users could enjoy all the benefits of desktop virtualization without any of the hassles," Steve Perlman, chief executive of OnLive, said in a statement. Perlman was also scheduled to present the new direction for the company at the NExTWORK conference in New York on Tuesday.

'We've created a virtual desktop. It's kind of like what Citrix is doing with remote desktop...but it feels local," Perlman said. It will work on mobile devices, PCs, and even televisions, he said, using a PowerPoint presentation running on a server hundreds of miles away. He even showed the presentation via the OnLive service.

Perlman also talked about the company's ability to do remote Web browsing, streaming the results instantly to the user's desktop, and allowing him or her to take advantage of its gigabit links. He also appeared to show a version of OnLive with a browser option at the top.

OnLive already has an integrated network with Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet switches, MX Series 3D universal edge routers and SRX Series services gateways. Juniper said that it would deploy its QFabric solution to securing its server farms, which OnLive said were in California, Texas, and Virginia.

OnLive also offers a $9.99 PlayPack. The company recently celebrated its first birthday. Since its inception, OnLive offers more than 100 games via its network, for rent or for sale.
