VDI in the Real World and PowerFuse

Just this week have been with a customer that running a live XenDesktop solution for one of there branches and I have to say very impressed, I should clarify that statement the XenDesktop was not really the the thing that impressed me it was the User Profile management software they used that did.

A few Years ago back when I specialised in Citrix I remember taking a look at some add on software by a Dutch software house called RES, and at the time not being overly impressed it seemed quite complicated and at the time they had to use there own shell on top of Windows which I didn't much like at the time.

But give the number of different interfaces that we know face where it be XP/Vista/Terminal services/VDI or Windows 7, the idea for a corporate to have a single user interface is quite compelling, then onto of that you add in all the other features that PowerFuse adds like complete user customisation and management, pass through authentication, locally installed application pass through to either VDI or XenApp sessions well the list goes on and on.

Just I have to say that it's one of the most impressive solutions I have seen for a long time.
