Enhancing your App-V Experience with RES Dynamic Desktop Studio
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) users will find that RES Software Dynamic Desktop Studio provides unique options to streamline the configuration of virtualized applications and the users overall workspace. RES Workspace Manager is App-V aware and integrates with virtualized applications. Learn more about this “better together” strategy utilizing RES Dynamic Desktop Studio and Virtual Desktop Extender with Microsoft® App-V.
Desktop Transformation - How to transform Windows desktops into managed workspaces
This paper describes the concepts of Desktop Transformation and how Desktop Transformation technology can help organizations to progress to managed User Workspaces without having a negative impact on user productivity.
RES Software and Security: Realizing asset-centric and user-centric approaches to security
In the current versatile user community, a user is no longer bound to any single device. Although assets still need to be kept secure, the need arises for a user-centric security approach, where security rules are aligned with the use of those assets.
Migrating to Windows 7? What you need to know about user settings
This white paper discusses migration to Windows 7, specifically steps and elements you need to be aware of about end-user settings. Migrating to Windows 7 might seem straightforward; however, when it comes to end-user settings, there are a few items you need to carefully consider to allow for a successful migration without disrupting end-user productivity.
User Workspace Management and Desktop Virtualization
This White Paper provides a brief description of User Workspace Management and its critical importance to desktop virtualization deployments.
Intel® Cloud Builders Guide to Cloud Design and Deployment on Intel® Platforms
This Intel-issued whitepaper highlights the value add of RES Virtual
Desktop Extender when dealing with the challenges of deploying
server-based VDI. Although there is a time and place for VDI in the
enterprise, a wholesale move to this kind of environment doesn’t make
sense for all environments because it ignores increasingly capable rich
endpoints. Intel’s support of the “Intelligent Client” supports a hybrid
approach to desktop virtualization that RES Software recognizes as an
emerging trend in today’s desktop environments. RES solutions aim to
help enterprises as they manage hybrid desktops.
Desktop Transformation with Citrix® and RES Software®
As
organizations seek to realize the benefits of a next-generation
virtualized endpoint environment, Citrix and RES Software provide a
complete solution for a staged, managed migration that allows optimal
flexibility while providing value every step of the way. The Citrix
Desktop Transformation Model provides a proven approach for developing
the ideal roadmap. RES Workspace Manager® helps IT execute the
transformation smoothly and seamlessly, then manage and secure the
resulting environment for the best outcome for IT, users, and the
business. In this whitepaper you’ll learn where to start your desktop
transformation and how to make it ultimately successful.
Citrix® and RES Software®: Managing and Securing Hybrid Virtual Environments
As
virtualization technology reshapes endpoint architectures, new trends
like workshifting, consumerization, and cloud computing pose new
management and security challenges for IT. To support more diverse user
types in more places on a wider range of devices, IT needs to be able to
provide a virtual desktop which remains consistent and personalized
while maintaining control and security over this hybrid desktop as user
contexts change. In this whitepaper you’ll learn how the combination of
Citrix and RES Software can aid IT pros in managing and securing hybrid
virtual environments.
RES Software: Embracing and Extending Active Directory and Group Policy Objects
Active Directory is the security foundation by which most IT organizations control access to resources and enforce security across the Windows environment. The Group Policy Objects (GPOs) component of Active Directory controls the preferences and settings of applications and the operating system from a central repository, made up by the Active Directory domain controller system. However, there are limitations to Active Directory and GPOs. RES Software helps expand the capabilities of Active Directory and GPOs to better address the needs of the modern enterprise.
Enhancing Your MDOP Experience with the RES Software Dynamic Desktop Studio
Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) enhances Windows management inside of a virtualized or physical container across a wide array of desktops and laptops. However, as we said in the introduction, there is no ―silver bullet that solves all management issues in any one system. RES Software is changing what it means to manage a user’s workspace and complements the MDOP technology suite. The combination of the two technologies provides a uniform approach to an evolved management paradigm, stretching across both physical and virtualized Windows instances; further leveraging and expanding the current MDOP investment.
RES Software: Embracing and Extending Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS)
Microsoft RDS (formerly known as Terminal Services), allows a single server and operating system instance to service multiple remote desktop and application executions across multiple user sessions while projecting the screen to rich, thin or slim clients through the network to any location. This allows IT to centralize the application and desktop execution across farms of servers in the data center where they can be more easily managed while providing an exponential increase in performance. However, the RDS environment and its utility nature create high levels of complexity in administration and execution. RES Software not only addresses these issues, but adds additional capabilities which enable the utility vision of this infrastructure.
RES Software: Embracing and Extending Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)
SCCM delivers applications and operating systems including key point–in–time configurations across a large and geographically diverse environment. However, its control is focused around the application and OS configuration at initial implementation time and not the user’s profile, settings, data and state. RES Workspace Manager provides the administrator with the capability to create different configurations for an application or Operating System instance based on the context of the user or system.
RES Software: Embracing and Extending Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
RES Software: Embracing and Extending Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) centralizes the user’s desktops from the distributed client environment into the datacenter and projects the screen to rich, thin or slim clients across the network to any location. In a VDI environment, virtual desktops can either be presented in a dedicated, one-to-one desktop–to–user relationship or a one-to-many relationship, where a single image acts as the foundation for a group of users with common traits (i.e. task workers). This approach to computing is designed to move an organization to a utility computing model where user agility is highly desired. However, the VDI environment and its utility nature create high levels of complexity in administration and execution. RES Software not only addresses these issues, but adds additional capabilities which enable the utility vision of this infrastructure.
