AppSense user virtualization and VMware View

AppSense and VMware share a common vision of user-centric computing, and its promise for customers on their journey to IT as a service. AppSense is a VMware Elite-level Technology Alliance Partner and collaborates closely with VMware in delivering incremental technology innovation that extends the value of VMware’s end-user computing solutions. Many customers globally have benefited from making AppSense user virtualization an integral component of their VMware end-user computing implementations.

When used in combination with VMware View, the AppSense User Virtualization Platform enables low cost, standard virtual images to be delivered as fully configured and personalized desktops. This ensures maximum user adoption from just a single desktop image, reducing cost, complexity and risk. AppSense user virtualization also provides IT administrators with the ability to enforce corporate policy, define personalization settings and easily manage all user-related information across thousands of VMware View desktops.                                                                    

Benefits of including AppSense user virtualization as part of your VMware desktop strategy include:

• Accelerating the migration to VMware View by separating the user from their existing desktop and deploying this information to the new virtual desktop
• Enabling floating stateless virtual desktops to reduce storage and management yet retaining user personalization and configuration between non-persistent virtual desktop sessions
• Allowing freedom of choice to both IT and users by enabling VMware View to sit in harmony alongside other desktop and application delivery models, automatically moving users, their settings, applications and policies across the VMware View environment and other desktop mechanisms
• Enhancing business agility while maintaining security and reducing costs associated with desktop environment

Together, VMware View 5 End User Computing and the AppSense User Virtualization Platform increase agility, enhance IT control, reduce desktop costs and enable user freedom.
