AppSense User virtualization - Solution Description from official AppSense product overview document: "User virtualization is recognized as the most effective and scalable approach to managing the user component of the desktop.
User virtualization is an infrastructure technology solution that virtualizes, centralizes, manages and applies the user environment on to a desktop as required. User virtualization spans all desktops across multiple OS platforms, desktop and application delivery mechanisms, devices and locations.
By separating the user from the desktop and managing it as a separate component, organizations can adopt multi-platform/delivery mechanism desktop environments. AppSense simplifies desktop management overhead, reduces operational costs, improves end user experience and ensure that user settings and corporate policy is applied to set up, configure and personalize a desktop, no matter how that desktop is delivered or where it is hosted."
Liquidware Labs' User virtualization Management Solution, ProfileUnity - Solution description from official document - "ProfileUnity is a lightweight yet powerful User virtualization management solution. ProfileUnity runs without any software to install on end-point PCs or virtual machines. At logon a managed profile is synched with the local user session in Windows own native format. No databases or additional servers are relied upon, thus keeping cost and complexity low. The solution is scalable to hundreds of thousands of users in a single organization due to its lightweight approach of compressing the user profile, registry, and settings while in storage yet fully uncompressing it in native format on the end-point. Because ProfileUnity uses Windows native format, organizations can use the solution for migration only or leave it installed for heterogeneous Windows desktops to exist."

Famous quotes containing the word alternatives:
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”

Of face, without the life to save,
Being from all salvation weaned
A stag charged both at heel and head:
Who would come back is turned a fiend
Instructed by the fiery dead.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
