Unidesk Composite Virtualization™ technology is a unique way of "componentizing" Microsoft Windows (and in the future, other operating systems) from the moment it starts booting into discrete, separately manageable containers:
-
the operating system itself, commonly called the boot image or Gold image;
-
IT-delivered applications;
-
user-installed applications and data.
By enabling desktop administrators to provision, patch, package, version, and rollback each of these containers independently, and by dynamically synthesizing the containers into completely personal desktops whenever users demand, Composite Virtualization greatly simplifies the management of hosted virtual desktops accessed through connection brokers such as Citrix XenDesktop and VMware View, as well as PCs and notebooks virtualized with Type 1 and Type 2 client hypervisors.
Unidesk Composite Virtualization solves some of the biggest problems that inhibit desktop virtualization adoption and plague desktop administrators:
-
The Storage Capital Expense Problem, by enabling IT to store the operating system and shared applications once for all desktops within the enterprise;
-
The Operational Expense Problem, by enabling IT to patch, package, and deliver the operating system and shared applications once for all desktops in the enterprise;
-
The Persistent Personalization Problem, by enabling all user-installed programs and user data to remain unaffected by patches or upgrades to the base operating system;
-
The Mobility Problem, by enabling users to seamlessly access their personal desktops at any time, from any endpoint device – thin, thick, or mobile;
-
The Off-Line Use Problem, by enabling users to have complete access to their personal applications and data while working on notebooks or PCs disconnected from the network, without any change to user behavior.
