by Leave a Comment

AppSense, provider of user environment management solutions for the enterprise, announced today the immediate availability of AppSense Management Suite Version 8.0.

This release includes the recently announced Environment Manager 8.0, as well as upgrades to Application Manager and Performance Manager. It represents a significant step forward in delivering a complete solution to managing all aspects of the user experience regardless of desktop and application delivery mechanism. AppSense technology enables corporate policy and personalization data, known as the ‘user personality’ to be abstracted from the desktop and managed independently.

This personality can then be dynamically applied ‘on-demand’ to any user environment. Whether applications and desktops are delivered locally, published, streamed or virtualized – or combinations thereof – user environment management ensures that all user settings are correctly applied and persisted across desktop sessions.

AppSense Management Suite Version 8.0 consists of three products (Environment Manager, Application Manager and Performance Manager) that provide policy and personalization management, application entitlement and resource control to create a predictable, compliant and responsive environment for users. Enterprise scalability and intuitive management controls provide a high degree of automation for IT, enabling cost savings through optimal use of resources as well as high levels of service quality.

AppSense Announces Partnership with CSC

by 1 Comment

AppSense announced today that it has teamed with CSC to provide the AppSense Management Suite as the user environment management solution for the CSC Dynamic Desktop.

The CSC Dynamic Desktop is a virtual desktop solution that uses a combination of virtualization, thin client and secure access technologies to deliver a highly flexible personal desktop environment that is accessible from anywhere. With CSC Dynamic Desktop, applications and user data are stored on servers located behind firewalls. This enables employees to access their “desktop” remotely and securely, regardless of location, and it allows the IT department to rapidly deploy systems to new users or refresh desktops without having to touch them individually.

AppSense user environment management technology enables CSC Dynamic Desktop users to experience a fully personalized desktop while enabling the business to more effectively implement corporate policy.

In addition to the personalization of dynamic desktops, AppSense technology has been designed to work across multiple application delivery mechanisms. By combining virtual, streamed, provisioned and published applications, organizations are able to use the right mechanism for the right users at the right time. With AppSense, the user’s working environment is not dependent on the delivery mechanism, providing the user with a consistent, predictable and personalized working experience.
