      VMware Profiles & Persona
      Leverage Non-Persistent Linked Clones to Dramatically Lower Costs & Management
      Go Beyond Simple Profile Management


      VMware customers looking for a solution to elegantly leverage non-persistent linked clone implementations, while retaining all the benefits of user personalization, can do so today with Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity™. Non-persistent (stateless) implementation of VMware View offers many benefits to customers including reduced licensing costs, infrastructure cost savings, as well as streamlined management benefits.

      Liquidware Labs is a Technology Alliance partner of VMware and is closely working the VMware View team to ensure customers have a clear, cost-effective solution that solves profile challenges in non-persistent environments.  ProfileUnity also goes beyond the limitations of Roaming Profiles and standard profile solutions to provide full user virtualization management with the ability to migrate, leverage the solution for disaster recovery, and provision new users without logon scripts or cumbersome Group Policy Preferences. 

      Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity is a comprehensive user environment management solution. Benefits of use include one unified user profile (that lets a user logon to either Windows XP or Win 7), central management of user settings, and persistency of user persona and settings even in non-persistent VDI environments. ProfileUnity is being used globally by companies looking to break free from Roaming Profiles and other proprietary user virtualization management solutions once and for all. It encompasses many enterprise features not found in basic profile solutions. ProfileUnity boasts ease of end-user use without the need for proprietary databases or expensive, additional infrastructure. ProfileUnity maintains user profiles using Windows’ own native format and is therefore compatible with VMware’s pending persona management solution.

      ProfileUnity Goes Beyond Single OS Persona Management
      While ProfileUnity solves persona management in order to leverage linked clones, the solution goes beyond the capabilities of standard profile solutions to provide full user virtualization management with the following capabilities:

        • Supports both V1 to V2 (XP & Win 7) operating system environments seamlessly
        • Migrates legacy profiles to Windows 7 environments effortlessly
        • Automates Data Migration - harvest data from user authored areas then automatically invoke folder redirections to those areas
        • Offers VMware ThinApp™ Entitlement and License Management
        • Allows VMware ThinApp caching for offline application use
        • Manages ThinApp Sandboxes among any Windows session – virtual or physical
        • Enables the administrator to tune the profile and eliminate profile bloat
        • Eliminates profile corruption; ProfileUnity profiles can be easily restored to an earlier version with a DR managed server
        • Provides location aware settings for printers, ThinApp applications, and more
        • Replaces the use of login scripts for mapped drives, printers, desktop shortcuts, etc.
        • Enables administrators to easily provision new user settings, i.e.  a new user can logon and in just 7-10 seconds be fully productive with email, printers, drives, etc.
        • Serves as a disaster recovery solution for any desktop - User Authored Data and Profiles are the most mission critical info and ProfileUnity securely stores both of these onto DR managed servers
        • Allows users to co-exist in a mixed version 1 (XP) and version 2 (Win 7) environments.  Help desk supports only one profile per person, not per machine
        • Works across VMware, Citrix, Terminal Services, and physical PCs
        • Includes software and hardware inventory, often used as a quick troubleshooting mechanism for help desks

      Leverage your Investment in View Composer Today
      VMware View Composer is a great solution that enables virtual architects to implement linked clone desktops to streamline desktop refresh cycles and save dramatically in storage costs. ProfileUnity enables customers to leverage this technology today without the complexity or added management of user data disk (persistent disk) methods. 

      Fully Compatible with VMware’s Pending Virtual Profile Solution
      ProfileUnity keeps profiles and user authored data in Windows’ native format. You’ll always have the option to easily manage your profiles with any other compatible solution if you choose to do so at a later date. ProfileUnity does not create a vendor locked-in (proprietary format) profile that may be found in other solutions. Another advantage is that you can continue to use ProfileUnity in conjunction with most streamed profile technologies. You can also still fully leverage all of the advanced enterprise features in ProfileUnity outlined in this document even if your profile is managed separately. 

      Product Family Advantage
      The Liquidware Labs’ Essentials bundle combines the ProfileUnity solution with the Stratusphere FIT™ and Stratusphere UX™ solutions to provide the end-to-end functionality needed to move through a VMware ThinApp deployment successfully. Stratusphere FIT can inventory and assess your current environment to aid in designing the target environment. ProfileUnity and Stratusphere UX work together to easily migrate your users and manage the performance of the new systems to ensure a quality user experience.
