Liquidware Digital Workspace Management Solutions

Liquidware Stratusphere™ UX is a comprehensive Digital Employee Experience (DEX) monitoring, performance validation and diagnostics solution for organizations that support physical, virtual and mixed-platform workspace environments. Unlike physical desktops, digital workspaces (virtual and cloud) workloads are supported by a shared infrastructure comprised of hosts, storage, networks and a spectrum of applications and services. Stratusphere UX provides the necessary end-to-end visibility into the performance of the end-user experience. Additionally, StratusphereUX offers and API that allows admins to flow its metrics and information into other data visualization and ITSM tools through an API, allowing critical information to be delivered in relevant formats to critical IT decision makers.

• Support for physical and virtual machines as well as mixed platform workspaces 

• Get insight into last mile metrics to support work from anywhere programs 

Liquidware ProfileUnity™ is a cost effective, yet robust user profile environment management solution that decouples user profiles from the OS making them universally portable and compatible with any Windows OS (Win 7/Win 8/ Win 10). The solution supports migration of Windows native user profiles and data to Citrix Virtual Desktops and Apps, Omnissa Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces, Microsoft AVD, and Office 365.    

ProfileUnity Benefits: 

• Decouples user settings and data from the Windows operating system. 

• Extends and improves performance of basic profile tools such as Microsoft FSLogix. 

• Automated migration between any Windows OS version – for physical, virtual and cloud-hosted desktops. 

• User Authored Data Migration – automatic background “in session” data migration with bandwidth control/throttling. Unlimited file sizes with centralized reporting of completion by user/machine. 

• Co-exist profiles across any Windows OS platform – physical, virtual, cloud and terminal servers. 

• Compatible across all desktop delivery platforms including Citrix Virtual Desktop and Apps, VMware Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces, and Microsoft AVD. 

• Keeps data & user settings in native Windows format so you're never locked into a proprietary data format. 

• Supports application virtualization/linked clones to enable use of shared-image, stateless deployments. 

• Provides a single Integrated Management Console for Application Layering and User Environment Management. 

• Includes application rights management and privilege elevation features. 

• Provides granular control over policy with context aware filters. 

• Profile portability can include folders outside of user shell folders- great for non-standard apps. 

• Powerful machine-level desktop lockdown and configuration capabilities. 

• Includes ProfileDisk™ VHD and VMDK User Data Disk VHD to manage large profiles efficiently. 

• Extend application virtualization or app publishing technologies, enabling many more applications to be stored and delivered outside of the desktop image.  

• Applications work across all supported Windows OS versions with no need to repackage. 

• Packaging can be fully automated. 

• Convert MSIX or App-V format applications to dynamic layers that are easily assigned to users. 

• Deliver even traditionally difficult applications, extending application layering to more diverse user types – including power users – throughout an organization.  

• Manage heterogeneous desktop environments more easily with fewer base image builds and significantly simplified application maintenance.  

• Deploy applications in hours, even minutes "on-the-fly", versus traditional weeks of months required through manual or limited automated processes.  

• End time-consuming regression testing for applications in the base image. 

Liquidware FlexApp™ is advanced application layering, enabling admins to easily assign applications to users without modifying base images.  FlexApp applications do not experience isolation, and therefore "look" native to the Windows OS and to other dependent applications.  Even complex applications with multiple dependencies can be delivered successfully enabling FlexApp to support application layering across a wide spectrum of use cases.   FlexApp allows organizations to reduce the complexity of desktop image sprawl and support better management and security of applications.  

Applications can be attached at boot time, login, based on environment triggers, or on-demand with exclusive Click-to-Layer capabilities.   

FlexApp One untethers application layers from online dependencies, enabling any time, any device delivery, including offline working.
