The main focus of this release is on the support of mixed environment with multiple types of deployment. SVS-layers and Windows Installer files are all managed in the same efficient, easy and elegant way. In the latest version of our software product for dynamic session control, we also implemented some other considerable improvements:
Performance: The entire Scense runtime was profiled for speed.
Off-line support: The Executive Local Cache, introduced in the previous version, has been improved.
Nested Groups: Scense 4 now supports nested active directory groups.
Shortcut Icons: Scense 4 caches shortcut icons in the database and on the workstation, which improves speed and working offline.
Application Virtualization
The purpose of the integration of Scense and application virtualization is to offer a user-based, centrally managed virtualization solution for desktop applications. There are several virtualization solutions. Scense has developed modules to support the two main methods of virtualization: virtual layers and streamed applications. Scense's program interface provides the possibility to centrally manage and control virtual applications, and adds roaming user support to virtualization solutions. Read more...
Windows Installer
Applications of type 'Windows Installer' (MSI-files) can now direclty and easily be imported. The package is being read by Scense Explorer and relevant information is shown in the property page. The features available within the MSI-file are shown in exactly the same way Windows Installer would while preparing the installation. The administrator selects the features and how they should be configured. The changes are stored in the Scense Database, the MSI-file remains untouched. This way the MSI-file is configured from a central location, and is directly applicable to all installations.
