The document discusses how workspace automation can unify desktop virtualization and client management by providing a consistent user experience across delivery methods. It summarizes RES Software's Dynamic Desktop Studio product, which sits above various Microsoft delivery architectures to manage profiles and applications centrally. The product aims to simplify management and enhance security and productivity compared to managing delivery methods individually.

5. The User Profile Barrier Local Desktop Profiles vs. Remote Desktop Profiles V1 User Profiles (XP) vs. V2 User Profiles (Windows 7) Virtualized applications vs. installed applications User Profiles are: Monolithic Session based Not versioned J

6. Breaking Through the Profile Barrier Zero Profile Technology Stores User Settings independently per application Applies User Settings just in time Rolls back User Settings on demand Supports virtualized, remote and installed applications Works side by side with existing User Profiles For Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008

9. Client Computing Architectural OptionsGartner Key Findings “The traditional choice of thick-client versus thin-client computing is being augmented by virtualization and streaming technology. Applications can reside centrally but still run locally, and the thick-client computing environments used for local execution can be hosted or streamed.” Recommendations “Ensure that you understand how each architecture integrates with existing management infrastructure, as failure to do so will increase management complexity and cost.” Source: “Choosing From 10 Client Computing Architectural Options”, Brian Gammage, February 2010 J

11. Complexity of infrastructure managementNo single delivery solution covers all use cases All SBC architectures involve some sort of compromise Not all applications can be virtualized (either locally or remotely) The proverbial “Year of VDI” that never comes The rich PC is still the dominant endpoint architecture Windows Client market share as of 3/15/11 = 89.69%* *NetMarketShare J

12. The Reality of OS and App Delivery “Hybrid Desktop” is emerging Many organizations are combining delivery approaches to satisfy the increasingly complex requirements of their end-users Management and security models are disparate Each delivery mechanism is independently managed and secured Management and security approach for thick-clients and traditionally installed apps doesn’t map well to virtualized delivery models and vice versa (time of deployment vs. time of access) User experience is fragmented Desktop resources and personalization are inconsistent across the different delivery models, which impacts end-user productivity J

System Center and MDOP deliver the building blocks of the Dynamic Desktop Simplified Windows Client deployment Management of hosted, virtual environments Adaptive application delivery Endpoint security management Configuration compliance Client infrastructure monitoring Remote PC diagnostics and repair J
