Technology
We're often asked how we can bring persistent personalization, broad application compatibility, single image management, and storage savings to virtual desktops with one solution. Especially when product categories focused on just one of these areas are limited to specific use cases.
We Don't Change Microsoft Windows. We Change Storage.
Unlike other approaches, we don't try to modify the behavior of Microsoft Windows. We change the storage that is presented to Microsoft Windows. By living between the hypervisor and the operating system, we're able to solve the problems that others cannot.

Without Unidesk, desktops boot off of a C: drive that is a mishmash of Windows itself, IT-delivered applications, user-installed applications, user data, and user profiles. As end users and desktop administrators both make changes to this monolithic image, desktops gradually degrade and become less stable. They also become much harder to patch, personalize, and repair. |
With Unidesk, desktops boot off of a synthetic C: drive made up of independently managed layers. IT creates single pristine layers of Windows and shared applications. End users are free to do whatever they want in their personalization layers. Unidesk dynamically composites these layers at boot time into unified storage. Desktops become easy to patch, personalize, and repair. |
Simple Concept. Sophisticated Implementation.
It's a simple concept, but one that requires tremendous innovation and expertise to implement. That's why we've filed patents on our two enabling technologies:
Next step: Learn more about how our hypervisor-independent layering engine and layer replication and delivery system work together to create a new, simpler paradigm for desktop management and user personalization.
