VDI makes Scense!

VMware View (VDI)

VMware View is an integrated desktop virtualization solution that delivers enterprise-class control and manageability with a familiar user experience. With VMware View, end users get a complete, unmodified virtual desktop that behaves just like a normal PC. There is no change to the applications or desktop environment, no application sharing and no retraining required. Just like with their normal PC’s, users can be allowed to install their own applications, customize their desktop environment and use local printers and USB devices.

One Solution, One Vision

Providing end-users with personal, stable and functional desktop environments: anytime, anywhere. Empowering IT departments with full user session control: from logon until logoff and beyond. One vision, shared by two companies resulting in a joined solution providing customers with flexibility, fast desktop and application delivery, ease of use and security, as well as reduced costs for technical support. VMWare’s proven technology desktop- and application virtualization combined with Scense’s superior workspace management and application delivery solutions will increase user productivity while decreasing IT complexity

Scense 6.0: Leverage the potential of VDI

Sharing the same, user-centric vision, Scense adds obvious value to VDI implementations, guarantees migrations that will be seamless for end-users and flawless for administrators and resolves challenges resulting from the paradigm change of VDI.

User Experience and seamless migrations

End users have high expectations of technology changes. VDI migrations should result in user experiences that are at least the same and preferably better than before. End users should not lose flexibility by shifting from a personal desktop they fully control to a highly standardized, locked-down, virtual desktop after the migration. Scense will guarantee VDI migrations to be seamless to the end-user. Scense will deliver the same, functional, stable and personal desktop within every environment. As soon as the user logs on to the VDI environment for the first time, his personal applications and settings will be there, instantly. No productivity loss and fully transparent.

Paradigm Change

Migrating to VDI means thinking end-user in stead of machine. IT administrators could rely on a fixed desktop location making it easy to attach the right printers and deliver the right software to the end-user. With VDI you just don't know. New challenges are introduced. Scense has been User Centric from the start and introduces location and pool awareness within VDI environments. With Scense desktops are configured, network drives are mapped, printers are attached and applications are installed based on the user identity, the type of pool and the end user’s location.

No More Image Management

One of the main advantages of VMWare VDI is the introduction of desktop pools. Each pool of desktops is based on one golden template and is available to all users. Because not all users are equal this will in most cases result in multiple templates that need to be defined, managed, patched etcetera, eating up valuable disk space and your valuable time. Image management reintroduced. Scense will fully eliminate the need for image management. Scense will use one golden template and create desktops based on the related pool automatically. The marketing pool will get a marketing desktop with marketing tools and a marketing configuration; The accounting-pool will get an accounting desktop etc. As soon as the user logs on, Scense will further personalize the virtual desktop based on the users’ identity and location, without the intervention of the IT administrator and transparent to the end-user. The amount of templates remains small, the user experience remains high.

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance

Each migration has its own challenges. Implementing new techniques within existing infrastructures means lot's of dependencies, high expectations and no room for error. You need to get a grip on your environment before you start a VDI migration. Make sure you understand the amount and types of applications in use, understand the types and contents of the desktops in use. As soon as you have these variables under control, a successful migration to VDI is within your reach. Scense will help you to get a grip on your act. You will know exactly which applications are in use, be able to manage them during the full life cycle and deliver them using all types of delivery: MSI, SVS, Thin-App, App-V and others. By managing the desktop environment centrally, you will have full control over the desktop from logon until logoff and beyond. Desktops, Server Based Computing, VDI or laptops: they are all controlled by you within one user friendly interface. An IT administrator who is in control of his desktop- and application environment is better prepared and faces fewer challenges during a migration to VDI.
