Virtual Desktops
Scense enables the delivery of highly personalized virtual desktops and reduces management costs dramatically in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is an integrated desktop virtualization approach that delivers enterprise-class control and manageability with a familiar user experience. End users get a complete, unmodified virtual desktop that behaves just like a normal PC. There is no change to the applications or desktop environment, no application sharing and no retraining required. Just like with their normal PC’s, users can be allowed to install their own applications, customize their desktop environment and use local printers and USB devices. All of this managed and hosted from a central place within the corporate environment. Migrating to VDI from the traditional Desktop Computing, IT Administrators need to rethink their model from a machine centric to a user centric approach. With Desktop Computing, IT administrators could rely on a fixed desktop location making it easy to attach the right printers and deliver the right software to the end-user. With VDI you just don't know. One of the main advantages of VDI is the introduction of desktop pools. Each pool of desktops is based on one golden template and is available to all users. Because not all users are equal this will in most cases result in multiple templates that need to be defined, managed, patched etcetera, eating up valuable disk space and your valuable time.
Scense has been User Centric from the start and introduces location and pool awareness within VDI environments. With Scense desktops are configured, network drives are mapped, printers are attached and applications are installed based on the user identity, the type of pool and the end user’s location.
Scense will fully eliminate the need for image management. Scense will use one golden template and create desktops based on the related pool automatically. As soon as the user logs on, Scense will further personalize the virtual desktop based on the users’ identity and location, without the intervention of the IT administrator and transparent to the end-user. The amount of templates remains small, the user experience remains high. With the integrated support for VMware™ VDI and support for other vendors like Citrix™ XenDesktop, Scense can deliver the personalized Desktops in your VDI environment.
