FlexApp One for Published Applications
Summary
ProfileUnity’s FlexApp Technology includes exclusive Click-to-Layer capabilities and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Microsoft RDSH session isolation for FlexApp One packages. FlexApp One’s Click-to-Layer feature allows instant delivery of FlexApp layered applications on-demand upon the application open action by a user. The user clicks on the application’s native icon on the Desktop or in the Start Menu and the application is instantly delivered via FlexApp One engine and is ready for use. The option improves desktop readiness times compared to other layer delivery options because applications are not mounted unless they are in use. Now even dozens of layered applications can be readily available in a user’s Windows environment without needing to actually layer every available application that might not be used during a user’s session.
FlexApp One’s Session Isolation feature provides enhanced delivery support providing session-based layering for published applications running on Citrix Virtual Apps, Microsoft RDSH, and Microsoft RemoteApp. Before, all applications published on a server were visible to all connected users whether they need them or not. Now when FlexApp One applications are delivered to a user’s published desktop, other users are not automatically exposed to those applications. Every user’s desktop can remain unique, even for users on the same Windows Server environment.
Click-to-Layer in a server environment offers an additional advantage. The first user to request an application to open will experience a slight delay as the FlexApp One package is layered into the environment. However, after the application is layered into the server environment, the process does not need to be repeated. Subsequent users will not experience any delays on an application open.
