"ProfileUnity with FlexApp not only migrates and manages user profiles, settings and data, it also provides users with the added flexibility to choose applications they need to be productive. ProfileUnity with FlexApp solves the classic conflict between the companies' need to manage and secure desktops with the users' need to tailor their desktops. You get the best of both worlds."
For the fifth-straight year, TechTarget has been the official media partner for the VMworld Awards. TechTarget's independent team of judges, consisting of experts and editors from SearchServerVirtualization and its sister sites SearchVirtualDesktop.com™ and SearchVMware.com™ reviewed and evaluated more than 200 products according to innovation, value, performance, reliability and ease-of-use.
ProfileUnity with FlexApp spurs VDI adoption by delivering user-installed applications across both virtual and physical desktops. Using VMware® View Composer, the solution allows businesses to capture and deploy user-installed, "follow-me" applications within stateless, non-persistent shared image desktops in VDI and physical PC environments. ProfileUnity FlexApp also lowers initial capital expenditures and the cost of on-going support, maintenance and operations while supporting existing user management practices. ProfileUnity FlexApp technology is planned for availability in an advanced edition of ProfileUnity 5.0 in Q4 2011. Existing customers will be provided with an upgrade path to the advanced version at a discounted cost for a limited time. For more information, visit www.liqiudwarelabs.com.
