How AppSense Performance Manager helps
to reduce carbon footprint
AppSense Management Suite is the first fully integrated enterprise-class User Environment Management solution designed to support a range of application delivery technologies. With User Environment Management, IT administrators need not maintain user profile information in disparate locations and be plagued by disgruntled users suffering slow logon times and unresponsive applications. The behaviour of the environment can be dynamically tailored to accommodate both business policy and users’ personal requirements without compromising security or stability.
AppSense Case Studies
"The quality of service we demand requires stable and high performing systems, we have found that the tools from AppSense are essential. We have been using AppSense Application Manager for over three years, but with the move towards 'pay as you go services' and web based portals, the additional benefits of Performance Manager and the Environment Manager enable us to provide a further level of commercial quality of service while maintaining our cost effectiveness."
Rob Jones, Director of Technology, Alstom
"We wanted leading-edge clinical and financial solutions built on a single database. Using AppSense Performance Manager has given us a 100% increase in our server capabilities in terms of concurrent connections and resulted in a 20% reduction in the number of servers required."
"For us, AppSense Performance Manager has more than delivered on its promise."
Greg Davis, Senior Enterprise Network Analyst, Banner Health
"Performance Manager within a Citrix Terminal Services environment is a must!"
Bertil Andreasson, Technical Manager, Daimler Chrysler
"Since the introduction of Application Manager to our build, the stability of our Citrix Metaframe server has dramatically improved."
Peter Heck, Head of Server Management, Deutsche Börse AG
"Application Manager gives us flexibility and has helped maintain a secure thin client system centrally. I am now confident that all the security issues within NT have been eliminated."
Steve Etheridge, IT Manager, Everton FC
"Application Manager has made our IT services more attractive because it has improved their availability and stability. For us, it's proved to be a very powerful and valuable tool for server-based computing."
Liam Roche,
Manager of Thin Client Services, New England,
Federal Aviation Administration
"With Application Manager we benefit from knowing that stability, or security-endangering applications are not being run on our servers. We didn't find anything else that came close to the level of control and simplicity of this solution."
Chris Ransdell, Project Manager, Motorola
"Application Manager automates the policing of the network, a time consuming job that our system managers would find impossible to carry out effectively. It has allowed us to take complete control of the desktop."
Neil Hogg, IT General Manager, National Blood Authority
"Using the AppSense Server Suite of products within our build has ensured we have the highest possible level of system stability and security, essential for the type of service we are offering to our users."
Jurgen Nagels, Procurement Manager, Pink Roccade
"Being able to lock down and protect the desktop from external and internal threats such as spyware, viruses, unauthorized software and user introduced applications, is extremely important. With AppSense’s Application Manager in place, we were able to create a “whitelist” of applications which users have full access to based on their day to day requirements. It also let us ‘turn off’ any unnecessary applications."
Chris Webb, Business Systems Director, Red Letter Days
"We cannot afford NOT to have Application Manager on our servers!"
Vernon Yule, Project Manager, Royal & Sun Alliance
"We no longer have any issues relating to rogue applications or users that have become stranded at a customer site without access to vital data. I can thoroughly recommend AppSense to companies that are facing similar security issues."
John Mahoney, IT Manager, Yamaha-Kemble Music (UK) Ltd
“The AppSense solution has given us the assurance that there is no possibility of one of our users introducing - either intentionally or unintentionally - an executable file to the network”
Dave Thomas, CIO, Chandler Macleod

This guide provides a practical approach to configuring the AppSense Auditing system for distributing
and handling events raised by AppSense products. The system consists of the AppSense Auditing
Console and Auditing Agent.
The Auditing Console is an administrative tool for creating and managing Auditing configurations. In Standalone Mode the console saves its settings directly to the local system registry. The Auditing Agent resides on the controlled computers. The Auditing Agent receives events raised by AppSense products and distributes them to the configured Auditing components.
This guide describes the use of AppSense Auditing in Standalone Mode. For information about using the AppSense Management Suite in Full Deployment Mode see the AppSense Enterprise Deployment Guide.
