Frequently Asked Questions
Application Virtualization
- Are there any applications that Unidesk can't package and deliver?
- Can Unidesk work with application virtualization?
- Do I need to sequence applications when I'm packaging applications with Unidesk?
- Does Unidesk replace application virtualization?
- How do I package and deliver applications with Unidesk?
- I saw you assigned McAfee A/V as an app layer within Unidesk. I didn't think application virtualization tools could package system services?
- How are applications built in Unidesk as compared to Zenworks?
Personalization
- Does Unidesk support user-installed applications?
- Does Unidesk offer user profile management?
- Do I still need a profile management tool, or does Unidesk's personalization do this?
- You showed the Google plug-in surviving the Windows patch. What about full apps that users install (not plug-ins) - does Unidesk capture those too?
- Does the user get a chance to save their work with Unidesk or is it auto-saved?
- How do you handle the per-machine unique elements of a typical desktop that write their own changes? I'm thinking management agents, anti-virus agents, group policy settings, etc?
Infrastructure
- What virtualization infrastructure is required to run Unidesk?
- What connection brokers do I need to use with Unidesk?
- Regarding the vSphere levels... not version. Essentials, Enterprise, or other minimum? Some of the levels don't give the necessary APIs that you may be using... thus the question.
- Would Unidesk replace Zenworks?
- vSphere Standard / vSphere Advanced / vShere Enterprise / vSphere Enterprise Plus... is there a minimum requirement?
- What sort of backend DBMS (if any) does Unidesk require?
- You said that the I/O is offloaded to another server. How does this work with relation to speed? Are you limited to the TCP link between the VM and the Unidesk server?
- Can Unidesk host multiple operating systems?
- Can the end users pick the operating system layer to use with Unidesk?
- Does Unidesk support Mac OS X?
Storage
VMware View
Pano Logic
- Did I hear correctly that Pano includes the servers with their solution? What kind of servers?
- Which level of vSphere do you need to work with Pano? ...and what level of vSphere do you need to work with Unidesk management console?
- Can the Pano Logic cubes connect wirelessly?
- ...and that Pano starter kit is available in the UK?
- You mentioned Pano integrates with VMware View - why would I need to use View if Pano comes with a built-in broker?
- If you use the Pano Logic broker, can you also use another broker for different use cases?
