user environment management

...for Virtual Desktops

For virtualized desktop environments, user environment management represents a fundamental change in the way the corporate desktop is constructed, delivered and managed.

The user component of a desktop (user personality) is decoupled from the operating system and applications, managed independently and applied into a desktop as needed without scripting, group policies or use of cumbersome user profiles - regardless of how the desktop is being delivered.

It is the application of user personality which enables pooled or standardized desktops to be tailored and personalized to each and every individual user. Ensuring optimal quality of service, user adoption and reducing IT administration costs.

...for Terminal Servers

For server based computing environments, user environment management provides a number of benefits that enables IT to have more control over the shared environment, optimize infrastructure needs and ensure a optimal experience to their users.

With policy and personalization management, IT administrators need not maintain user profiles or be plagued by disgruntled users suffering slow logon times and unresponsive applications.

With application entitlement, unauthorized applications are blocked without the need for complex scripts or high maintenance lists, providing protection from unknown executables and ensuring compliance with Microsoft licensing.

With resource entitlement, hardware resources are optimized which increases the number of users serviced by current hardware and an improved quality of service, user satisfaction and productivity across the entire IT infrastructure.

User Personality

User personality is a combination of corporate policy and user personalization – so much more than the average user profile.

Policy is used to set up and maintain a user desktop session. Policy also ensures a user session remains compliant by controlling application access, locking down or removing operating system and application functions, even self healing essential files, folders, processes, services and registry settings.

Personalization constitutes any change a user makes to their desktop. In the past, user changes were stored in profiles which were often subject to bloat, corruption and slow logon times. With user environment management, these issues are avoided by applying personalization on demand, not all at logon.
