FSLOGIX APPS WITH APPLICATION AND PROFILE CONTAINERS<\/h3>\n

Introducing: FSLogix Office365 Container for Citrix<\/p>\n

Best of Citrix Synergy 2015 Winner, Application and Desktop Virtualisation, FSLogix addresses problems that have prevented wide scale adoption of the enterprise virtual.<\/p>\n

Outlook and Windows Search to run at speeds on par with local installations (finally!). Profile Containers enable large file access and true Cached Exchange Mode for Office 365 and other hosted email products, eliminate the logon storm impact of folder redirection, and significantly reduces load on network and server resources. New in Q2: Starting in Q2, 2016, a subset of Profile Containers will be sold as a separate drop-in module, FSLogix\u2122 Office 365 Container for Citrix, allowing administrators to take full advantage of our Office 365 support without having remove their existing profile solution. This new offering is the industry\u2019s first dropin solution that enables true Cached Exchange Mode for all virtual workspaces using Office 365, and real time search for virtual desktops.<\/p>\n

FSLogix\u2122 Office 365 Container for Citrix installs in minutes, and allows enterprise to virtualise and persist OST files for users with XenApp, Terminal Services, and nonpersistent
or \u2018pooled\u2019 virtual desktop infrastructure. In addition to addressing email and search performance, critical settings for Office 365 such as OneDrive cache, Skype for Business global address list (GAL), and Windows search database will now persist between sessions.<\/p>\n

IMAGE MASKING DRIVES REVOLUTIONARY INNOVATION<\/h3>\n

FSLogix Apps is a solution designed to enable IT Administrators to manage the emerging enterprise workspace, reducing the amount of hardware, time and labour required to support physical, virtual, and cloud desktops. FSLogix has developed a technique called Image Masking to create a single Unified Base Image that hides everything a logged in user should not see. This approach provides predictable and real-\u00adtime access to applications and other workspace components like fonts, browser plugins, application and add-\u00adons, easily addressing complex management problems like regional or departmental uniqueness of plugins \u2013 all from a single image. Image Masking uses advanced file system filtering which extends from the base image out to VHDs and other critical infrastructure areas.<\/p>\n

Image masking functions identically and transparently across a wide range of Windows-\u00adbased platforms, simplifying the path from traditional to virtual environments, with a single, unified approach to image management, profile access, and application delivery. Installed as a software agent, FSLogix Apps seamlessly integrates with Windows centric desktop virtualisation solutions from Microsoft, Citrix, VMware, and other industry leaders.<\/p>\n

OUTLOOK AND OFFICE 365<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Finally a way to handle large files like .OSTs and .PSTs<\/li>\n
  2. User profiles reside entirely in .vhd(x) files<\/li>\n
  3. Easy migration from existing profile solutions<\/li>\n
  4. Recover and optimise critical infrastructure<\/li>\n
  5. Eliminate network logon storms, reduce traffic by an order of magnitude and <14 sec login<\/li>\n
  6. Eliminate help desk calls and end user satisfaction issues from slow logons<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    FSLogix Apps targets the following three solution areas:<\/h3>\n

    1. Gold Image Consolidation:<\/h3>\n

    With Unified Base Images, enterprises can combine all applications, plus browser and app plugins, onto a single gold image, or greatly reduce their current number of images. Based on the image masking technique, users see only the applications, plugins and other components that they are licensed and authorised to see, simplifying application delivery across physical and virtualised Windows infrastructures. Every application, extension, font, etc., installed in the Unified Base Image is available in real time only to users authorised to access them. Unlike traditional application virtualisation, Image Masking allows real-\u00adtime application execution with natively installed applications, and no repackaging or sequencing.<\/p>\n

    2. User Profile Containerisation:<\/h3>\n

    Profile Containers are local or remote volumes which eliminate the need for folder redirection or Roaming Profile optimisation, allowing users to have a consistent, familiar, workspace experience with no limitations on the size of the profile or the size of any individual files. This approach solves the problem of large files (like OST\u2019s and PST\u2019s) in VDI and RDSH. Users and businesses increase productivity by having access to their unique work environment on any device, native application speeds and unbeatable logon times. Unlike other products, FSLogix provides this solution without the overhead of remote servers and additional configuration databases.<\/p>\n

    3. Just-\u00adin-\u00adTime Application Delivery:<\/h3>\n

    FSLogix supports an unlimited number of Application Containers for situations where combining all applications into a single image is not practical, for licensing or technical reasons. Application Containers may be either local or remote volume libraries. Combining Application Containers with Unified Base Image technology provides the flexibility to IT to use the optimal design approach for their unique requirements.<\/p>\n

    When using Apps it is not necessary to sequence or package applications. All applications are installed natively using the application\u2019s .msi install. From there, FSLogix Apps takes advantage of Active Directory to control the visibility of when any application is visible to individual users or groups.<\/p>\n
