ProfileUnity™ with FlexApp delivers feature-rich, affordable User Environment Management and Application Layering for both virtual desktop deployments and physical PCs. ProfileUnity decouples user profiles, settings, and data from the operating system, thus ending the user migration cycle to new Windows desktops including Amazon Workspaces, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, VMware Horizon, and Microsoft RDSH or WVD. ProfileUnity’s ongoing User Environment Management features centralize user and policy management with context aware settings that are only limited by your imagination.
ProfileUnity delivers a flexible universal profile that is compatible across multiple Windows versions and boasts a lightweight agent with no complex software package to install on end-points. This cost-effective solution separately stores and dynamically applies user profiles, configurations, data, and select layered applications to a Windows OS in seconds at login, enabling organizations to be more flexible than ever before with their desktops.
ProfileUnity’s FlexApp technology is designed to allow administrators to deploy corporate or department installed applications (DIA) without the burden of tedious base image management. FlexApp enables a potentially limitless number of applications to be stored separately from the Windows operating system yet "snapped-in" in only seconds at login or, alternatively, at boot up or on demand. Applications look native to the operating system, enabling compatibility of thousands of more applications than with other methods of application virtualization.
Key Advantages
ProfileUnity offers these key advantages:
- ProfileUnity retains profiles in native Windows® formats, which keeps them backward and forward compatible across Windows operating systems. ProfileUnity is the perfect solution to harvest user profiles and user data from an older Windows OS and deliver it to a newer Windows OS just in time. Profiles can also co-exist across multiple Windows versions.
- ProfileUnity runs as a standalone system. No proprietary databases are used for user profiles or data. The lightweight client installs to endpoints without the need for software distribution or user downtime. ProfileUnity is priced an average of 40 to 50 percent less than other user virtualization offerings, for faster ROI and a lower overall budget.
- ProfileUnity offers sophisticated features including Context-Aware Filters, Integration with Microsoft® Active Directory, Advanced Folder Redirection options, and more.
- ProfileUnity includes Application Rights Management for no added cost. These features enable you to elevate privileges for select users to run or install select applications and restrict users from running select applications in the base image.
