Title: Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity and its Role as a Disaster Recovery Solution
As desktop operating systems become more and more complex, the need for a proper disaster recovery methodology on the desktop is increasingly crucial, whether the desktop is physical or virtual. In addition, many enterprise customers are leveraging additional technologies, including local hard drive encryption, persistent virtual images and non‐persistent virtual images. This paper provides an overview of these issues and outlines how disaster recovery (DR) plan, coupled with Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity™, can reduce DR costs and recovery times while preventing loss of critical data.
Analyst Reports
Title: 451 Group Report on Liquidware Labs FlexApp
"Liquidware's aggressive push to gain strategic and distribution partners is a timely one, as the desktop management market is filled with many formidable competitors. The nearly three-year-old company claims profitability, has never taken in any outside funding and says it has more than 1,000 paying customers. That's a good position to be in for the coming fight." – 451 Group
Title: Taneja Group Report on Liquidware Labs Stratusphere
"The trickier challenge for most enterprises exploring desktop virtualization, however, is to determine how to offer users equivalent or better performance and application experience with a hosted virtual desktop, and how to manage that user experience without growing administration cost or headcount. Liquidware Labs, a young entrant in the desktop virtualization “assessment and readiness” field, has developed a novel approach that combines process and tools with leading-edge technology. The company’s Stratusphere [FIT and UX products] and related services promises to shorten the path to desktop virtualization, providing insight into what users are actually doing every day on their desktops and how that behavior can be modeled, base-lined, and maintained in a virtual world." -- Taneja Group
