VMware® Mobile Secure Desktop

ProfileUnity FlexApp is Validated for Robust Persona Managment and Security

VMware Mobile Secure Desktop architecture which provides secure mobile access to applications and data across devices and locations. Liquidware Labs’ ProfileUnity FlexApp is a 3rd-party enabling software technology for persona management and applications on demand for the VMware Mobile Secure Desktop solution.

Today’s workforce cannot afford to be tethered to traditional stationary desktops. New devices have prolifterated companies of all sizes and industries. Workers are increasingly mobile or working remotely from office locations. Industries who have a non-office-based work mode, such as healthcare, transportation or law enforcement, need to leverage a secure and always available desktop to perform their jobs where they are. Many organizations, prompted by their workers, are considering Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies.

The VMware Mobile Secure Desktop solution responds to this changing work model. By using a validated architectural design for virtualized desktops on VMware View and vSphere, organizations now have unparalled desktop and application access across qualified devices and locations -- in the office or halfway around the world. VMware View and ThinApp allows access to desktops, data and applications based on endpoint device configuration,
network location and user identity.

"Any Time, Anywhere, Any Device" Strategies For Any Organization

User persona management is an essential component in decoupling the user from the machine and operating system. ProfileUnity FlexApp complements VMware View with functionality that supports an “Any Time, Anywhere, Any Device” business strategy. ProfileUnity with FlexApp adds the following critical capabilities to VMware Mobile Secure Desktop solution:

• Organizations can leverage secure, cost-effective non-persistent desktops, yet offer a high degree of user personalization.
• “Follow me” user profiles, data and user installed apps provide a consistent one-profile-per-user experience for workers regardless of how many devices they use or where or when they login.
• Organizations can tap a universal profile format for Windows XP/7/8 to enable the greatest degree of device compatibility.
• Context-aware session settings provide local resources to users based on their identity, not on the machine they are using.
• Organizations using VMware ThinApp gain additional features support for deployment, inventory, licensing and dynamic assignment of applications.
• Organizations get a sophisticated full-featured user virtualization solution that is “lightweight” and reduces complexity in their environments.
• Administrators can reclaim time to spend on more productive, higher value tasks.
• Innovative FlexApp technology allows users to install their own applications without affecting the desktop image or underlying systems, effectively reducing the number of desktop images that must be maintained.
• Users can migrate legacy profiles, for 100% utilization of existing VMware View structures, achieving a faster time to implement, and migrating more worker types, for greater ROI on your virtual desktop investment.

Critical Desktop Management Features for Physical or Virtual Desktops

ProfileUnity FlexApp is granular by design, enabling administrators to set rules to choose what user profile data is to be made portable. Innovative compression technology results in speedy login times (seconds not minutes), reducing profile corruption, and eliminating the transfer of large amounts of data over the network.

Context-aware filters allow administrators exacting control over provisioning local resources, such as printers, to users based on identity and login, not by device. Administrators can also set highly granular rules regarding what profile data can be made portable, thus keeping file sizes manageable.

Deliver Secure Desktops On-Demand To Users

ProfileUnity is a true user persona managment solution enabling complete control over layers of user personalization for physical, virtual or terminal server sessions – it is the core of any elegant, dynamic, and flexible desktop on-demand strategy such as the VMware Mobile Secure Desktop architecture.
