The Virtualization Practice

The most important component of a physical or virtual desktop is not the operating system or applications, nor is it the data… It is the user. AppSense Environment Manager is an enterprise-scalable solution for managing all aspects of a user by applying a user’s ‘personality’ to a desktop as and when needed. A user personality consists of tailored policy and user personalization.

Tailored Policy

Policy configuration is applied to a desktop at start-up/shutdown or logon/logoff, and includes such settings as drive and printer mappings and default properties for personal settings such as screen resolution.

Policy must be tailored, primarily by employee role, since corporate policy is not the same for everyone. This tailored policy can be applied ‘on-demand’ to set up a dynamically created or pooled desktop and is persisted across desktop sessions. By eliminating the traditional means of policy management, such as complex and cumbersome scripting, desktops can be set-up more quickly and maintained more easily.

User Personalization

Ensure that personal changes made to the desktop environment are persisted across virtual desktop sessions and across delivery mechanisms.

AppSense Environment Manager eliminates the need for user profiles by utilizing registry and file virtualization to automatically monitor the user session and identify personalization changes.

These changes are cached locally on the physical or virtual desktop and synchronized with a central server. Since this personalization data is stored independently of the delivered desktop, it can be applied ‘on-demand’ to the desktop.
