Ovum Technology Audit – AppSense User Virtualisation Platform

IT infrastructure has in recent times undergone many changes, particularly in the area that is traditionally referred to as “the desktop.” For many in the industry the term seems archaic, as the use of mobile devices, laptops, netbooks, and many other form factors are now encompassed under this umbrella term.

Ovum considers that the ability to manage the applications and their delivery in a user-centric manner is essential to this new “desktop” environment if it is to deliver true flexibility. Underpinning this revolution are the various desktop virtualization technologies, which provide multiple different approaches to delivering a user-centric experience. However, the “user layer” remains the Achilles heal of many desktop virtualization solutions.

Download this review to learn more about the AppSense approach which uses standardized technologies such as Internet Information Services (IIS) and Structured Query Language (SQL) in a three-tier model that can be expanded as needed.

AppSense is also the first vendor to solve the ability to personalize user-installed applications on non-persistent desktops and separates the user from the desktop, and stores and manages all user-related information using its User Virtualisation Platform. This provides a managed user experience irrespective of the connection, desktop platform, delivery mechanism, location, or device being used.
