Application Control
The use of unauthorized software is a primary factor in destabilizing desktops, and the costs associated with rectifying a corruption can be significant. AppSense User Virtualization allows the IT team to automatically control application entitlement on a per user basis out of the box, reducing desktop management costs and increasing desktop stability and security.
Out of the box application entitlement for all users?
The AppSense User Virtualization Platform manages application entitlement through an approach centered on ownership, where most applications are owned by the Administrator.
Through this proven model of Trusted Ownership, the application access policy is immediately enforced ‘out of the box’ without the need for scripting or list management.
Even mobile users?
The extent to which an employee has access to corporate applications can depend on the context of the accessing device. For example, a user in an Internet café will typically have a different level of application access than an employee within the secure confines of the corporate network. Parameters such as location, firewall settings and even time of day can be used to establish a necessary level of entitlement.
Key benefits
- Maintain optimal level of control even as context changes
- Increase visibility into application usage
- Enforce licensing to ensure compliance and reduce costs
- Reduce support calls and associated costs
- Focus users’ attention solely on business applications
Helping with Microsoft license management
The AppSense User Virtualization Platform is recognized by Microsoft as a valid method of managing software license expenses by controlling application usage on a per device basis.
By controlling which devices have permission to run named applications, IT teams can place limits on the number of application instances, helping to reduce the number of license instances required within their environment.
