AppSense Partnership
| |
|
AppSense is a global independent software provider and leading name in user virtualization
solutions.
Synergy
AppSense Professional Services use SysTrack to assist customers with the discovery and
design phases of Desktop Transformation projects.
With SysTrack, AppSense customers experience unmatched
visibility into their users' desktop environments, enabling a better design of their
VDI project, and resulting in improved user experience and reduced IT costs.
Overview of Joint Solution
By pairing AppSense and Lakeside’s flagship product, SysTrack, enterprises can focus on understanding
the current environment and developing a clear path by assessing, decoupling, managing, deploying
and monitoring the transformation process. This methodology helps reduce IT support costs, improve
user productivity and optimize storage costs.
How Lakeside and AppSense Work Together
Lakeside Software and AppSense take out the risk of a VDI project by allowing you to manage the
process from initial assessment through delivery ensuring the use of the right VDI technology, in
the right place at the right time for optimal end-user experience without sacrificing System
Administrator’s control.
As a result of high data center storage costs, assessments from SysTrack often reveal that non-persistent
desktop pools make the most sense for organizations. But because non-persistent pools rely on a single
golden image for all users, this model doesn’t always give organizations the flexibility they are
looking for.
With AppSense, non-persistent pools are practical because AppSense User Virtualization
allows a user’s personal settings to roam seamlessly from one session, physical or virtual, to another.
AppSense makes this possible by abstracting user policy and user personalization data at the OS and
Application level, storing that information in a database, and then streaming that information to a
non-persistent image on the fly.
Top 10 Benefits of Using AppSense and Lakeside Software Together

of Golden Images; AppSense manages those images for optimum end-user acceptance and System

Partnership Quote
As enterprises are beginning to understand that the
one thing that remains constant in a desktop environment is the user and we are continually
moving to an increasingly heterogeneous environment, the need to provide assessment tools
for user virtualization is more important than ever.
With the use of an industry
leading assessment tool like SysTrack, AppSense Professional Services will be able to
provide customers with detailed intelligence on their current desktop landscape and user
experience levels by displaying concrete metrics that can be presented to understand the
opportunity for user virtualization within their enterprise.
