- 7. Application Configuration Configures and deploys user settings for virtual and native applications, independent from application package and deployment. Dynamic configuration Application configuration User Environment settings Personalization Application Migration
- 8. Application configuration Configure and manage initial state of application - Easily done by using Immidio Application Profiler on a “reference” machine Optionally configure application into a “Solid State” - Application resets to a predefined state everytime it is started One application package, numerous configurations - Install the application once and easily deploy different application configurations Improve application packaging/virtualization process - Decouple the application configuration from the installation
- 10. User environment settings Configures Windows settings like shortcuts, printer & drive mappings, all managed centrally from a simple interface. Dynamic configuration Application configuration User Environment settings Personalization Application Migration
- 11. User environment settings Manage the user environment - Configure the basic settings, like drive and printer mappings, Windows language, etc… Manage application shortcuts and FTA’s - Configure application shortcuts in Start Menu, Desktop and File Type associations Manage settings when needed (just in time) - Map drives/printers, run tasks, only when the associated application is launched Run custom or built-in “Triggered Tasks” during a session - Configurable for lock/unlock workstation and reconnect/disconnect from VDI or RDS session - Run custom task like closing a certain application when user disconnects from a VDI session Reduce complexity - No more scripts or dispersed group policies to configure basic user environment settings
- 13. Personalization Decouples, segments and roams personal settings across different operating systems, providing a consistent, dynamic and fast user experience. Dynamic configuration Application configuration User Environment settings Personalization Application Migration
- 14. What is personalization? User Profile Internet Explorer Settings Files and Folders Workspace Settings Application A settings Application B settings
- 15. Personalization Decouples personalization from traditional profile - Compressed and segmented Manage Windows settings at logon/logoff - Wallpaper, keyboard, mouse, screensaver, MUI, etc... Manage application personalization at app. start/exit - Settings dynamically available across multiple sessions/devices. Fast logon times! Roam settings across all Windows devices - WinXP <> Win7 - 32-bit <> 64-bit - native <> virtualized app – Physical <> Virtual desktop
- 16. Windows Settings Application Settings Individual Windows & application settings Managed individually Stored individually User session Profile segmentation with Flex+
- 17. DirectFlex User Session Profile Data Store (File Share) Base Profile Flex Profiles Logon DirectFlex launch DirectFlex shutdown Flex Profiles Logoff Time Time
- 18. Personalization support End-user support Provide support on application or Windows setting level - Reset to default or restore a previous state (configurable amount of backups) Optionally provide users with simple Self-Support tool - Easy to use - Multilanguage support - Company branding possible
- 20. Application migration Migrates personalization of an application to a newer version of the application, like MS Office 2007 to MS Office 2010. Dynamic configuration Application configuration User Environment settings Personalization Application Migration
- 21. Application Migration Migrate application personalization - For same version of application but across different OS’es, this works out-of-the-box Migrate app. personalization to higher app. version - Eg. Office 2007 -> 2010 (requires migration mapping file, Office included) Migrate personalization back/forth between versions - Is dependent of application.
- 23. Dynamic configuration Enables dynamic adaptation of all configurable items within Flex+ based on user, location and device, providing a consistent but relevant user environment. Dynamic configuration Application configuration User Environment settings Personalization Application Migration
- 24. Dynamic Configuration Use conditions to decide when to apply settings - Can be used for all configurable items in Flex+ Simple, advanced and custom criteria available - Group Membership, Organization Unit, IP ranges, OS version, registry, file version, etc... Group conditions into globally managed conditionsets - Can be used to define “workspaces” for easy administration Use “UEM Refresh” to re-evaluate conditions in a session - Automatic with Triggered Task or manually initiated using command line or shortcut
- 26. Leverage existing infrastructure Flex+ infrastructure Easy deployment and configuration of client - Deploy FlexEngine MSI using any ESD, configure FlexEngine with GPO No databases or webservers backend required - Leverages home dir for personalization storage and central file share for Flex configuration Scales with Windows infrastructure - No additional infrastructure changes required when changing number of clients/users - Central file share for Flex configuration can be replicated/clustered to any need
- 27. Unique proposition We differentiate by being: Simple Scalable Extensible Affordable
