Liquidware Labs has released its user environment management service, ProfileUnity with FlexApp, for Citrix Workspace Cloud.
The desktop environment solution – also known as a ‘blueprint’ (Citrix’s name for assembled scripts and other components combined into a single solution) – is intended to provide a seamless user experience that scales whether the desktops and XenApp servers are on-premise or cloud-hosted.
ProfileUnity is designed to increase user productivity by helping to speed up user login times and enhance security through context-aware policy management.
FlexApp, an application-layering tool, enables administrators to assign department-level applications to groups of users, and optionally empower selected users to install their own applications.
Combined as a single solution, Liquidware Labs said its new blueprint makes it easier to implement ProfileUnity with FlexApp in a Citrix Workspace Cloud environment.
“Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity and FlexApp offers joint customers a good option for full-featured user environment management and advanced application layering,” said Siddharth Rabindran, director of Citrix Ready.
Jason E Smith, VP of product marketing at Liquidware Labs, added: “Citrix Workspace Cloud’s strategy is all about enhancing flexibility with cloud-hosted desktop computing to answer to the demands of today’s dynamic customers.
