2 Executive summary Desktops and workspaces are transforming to virtual and cloud technologies at a lightning fast pace. With the rapid growth of Microsoft Windows 7 (and soon Windows 8) adoption, virtual desktop strategies, and cloud storage and virtual application adoption, there is a perfect storm brewing that is driving organizations to adopt client virtualization now. You need a plan, one that is complete and well capable of guiding you through this key phase of your desktop transformation project. HP and Liquidware Labs offer a comprehensive User Virtualization Management and Dynamic Application Portability (DAP) solution that takes care of the key requirements for your desktop transformation to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). User Virtualization and Dynamic Application Portability from HP and Liquidware Labs is integral to your VDI project by providing the following: Dramatic savings in storage, licensing, and management costs with the use of robust and flexible persona management to leverage non-persistent desktops. Instant productivity within seconds of logon with automatic context-aware configurations which enable flexible desktop environments where users can logon to any desktop, physical or virtual. Minimize golden image builds while allowing the ultimate in personalization, break down the barriers to user adoption and fast-track productivity in the new environment with user and department installed applications. About HP VirtualSystem CV2 HP s client virtualization reference architecture, HP VirtualSystem CV2, is the blueprint for the solution, which utilizes years of test experience designed to represent the widest variety of customer use cases.

The company's Stratusphere and ProfileUnity solutions have been described by analysts as the industry's first 'On-Ramp to VDI,' providing a complete methodology and software that enables organizations to decouple users and applications from the operating system and to cost-effectively plan, migrate, manage and validate the user experience for next-generation desktop infrastructure. 2
3 Target audience: The intended audience for this document includes IT decision makers who want to understand the solutions available to help complete desktop transformations from the distributed and discreet end user station to VDI, the cloud and beyond. Persona management Robust and flexible persona management HP and Liquidware Labs deliver advanced persona management with ProfileUnity in an HP VirtualSystem CV2 environment. The solution can be set to leverage existing personalized profiles from legacy desktops, usually in Windows XP or Server 2003 format, and make them immediately compatible with Microsoft Windows 7/8 and Server 2008/8 environments. The technology is very straightforward and scales to tens of thousands of users without the need for a complex arrangement of additional servers and databases. User personalization is often overlooked when moving users to a new desktop. Leaving integral data such as user application settings behind can be detrimental to user productivity. It is time consuming for both the user and the help desk to reconfigure items stored in this area of Windows. Just to scratch the surface we ll cite just a few key examples of data stored in the application data portion of the user profile: Custom spellchecker words signatures contact data Chat history and threads Browser Favorites Once ProfileUnity is implemented, user profiles are harvested at first logoff, compressed, and stored in a network share available to the user. At the very next logon, the profile is instantly imported, uncompressed, and placed in the native profile folders in Windows even if the user has logged onto a new OS such as Windows 7/8. Average login times are only 7 to 10 seconds, replace complex arrangements of logon scripts, and dramatically speeding up net logon times. These beneficial persona management capabilities of the solution allow: One profile per person, not one profile per desktop minimizing help desk calls and Windows troubleshooting. Automatically handle the migration of Application Data settings even across differing versions, making application migrations a snap. Common use case is Office 2003 to Office 2007 and/or Follow-me personality even between OS versions, lowering end-user objections to adoption and speeding time to production. Virtualization of user persona Once ProfileUnity has separated out the user profile, preferences, and settings from any common Windows OS it makes it immediately compatible with all other common Windows OSs. This capability is key when transforming Windows XP and/or physical PCs to a virtual desktop solutions and/or Windows 7/8. By separating and virtualizing the user persona you gain two very big advantages: Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) can be offered on a non-persistent basis You can seamlessly support co-existence and migration for mixed Windows OS environments. Consultants and analysts agree that implementing VDI in a non-persistent (or stateless) manner can provide additional total cost of ownership savings that you may otherwise not realize when moving to VDI. Non-persistent methods save costs by significantly reducing storage requirements, license costs, and overall management costs associated with VDI. However, to maintain a robust and personalized user experience you must still deliver the seamless experience of a persistent desktop. ProfileUnity can be leveraged to inject user persona and specific context aware settings in seconds at logon. For this reason, ProfileUnity is the solution of choice for many enterprise VMware customers implementing VDI. 3
4 Ensuring that users profiles, settings, and configurations are consistent across any common Windows OS has several advantages. Once a user has ProfileUnity applied to their desktop, their settings are immediately compatible with any other common Windows OS or delivery method. The recommended best practice is to implement ProfileUnity for all of your users to make them instantly ready for an Anytime Migration. ProfileUnity accomplishes this by transforming their profile into a dynamic profile that is compatible to co-exist or rapidly migrate to any Windows OS at every subsequent logon. Advanced migration features include the ability to intelligently harvest user authored data from physical PCs before automatically redirecting common shell folders such as My Documents. Automatic configuration and context aware environment settings ProfileUnity can automate the configuration of a user s desktop experience by importing settings that are instantly implemented at first logon within seconds. This is key when rolling out new desktops, provisioning settings for new users, and configuring non-persistent VDI desktops. Administrators can leverage ProfileUnity to map drives, map and manage printers, create application shortcuts, application virtualization provisioning, and more. Often Group Policy preferences and logon scripting solutions can become cumbersome to manage, difficult to document, and challenging to manage with multiple team members. ProfileUnity solves this dilemma by giving administrators one central console to administer user configuration settings, and profile portability. Benefits of managing user configuration settings with ProfileUnity include: Well documented configurations with Instant Reports from the ProfileUnity console Context aware settings for dynamic location aware assignment of printers, applications, and other resources One management console for all user virtualization and configuration settings The need for dynamic application portability VDI is now experiencing excellent adoption for easy to virtualize user groups within many organizations. These groups usually consist of task workers that generally need a specific set of applications to perform their job. The reason for this is that it is relatively easy to build a limited number of applications into the base golden image for the VDI that can then be shared through VMware linked clone technology. Even among these groups of users additional applications such as toolbars, web demo applications, and other applications are a common request. When you add to this the desire to bring the efficiency of VDI to power and knowledge users, we are faced with the increasing need to enable users and department administrators to install their own applications into their personalized VDI environment. Of course the challenge here is that you still need to deliver VDI in a non-persistent method to retain the storage, license and management cost savings that made VDI ideal in the first place. To address this, application virtualization has been leveraged to assign server hosted applications to users rather than install them to the OS itself. These technologies have proven themselves as a solution for common applications; however, individual applications remain a common demand. Many analysts have cited the failure of complete user personalization to VDI as being a roadblock for wider VDI adoption. Being able to dynamically bring applications into a VDI session in a straightforward manner that does not affect the underlying image of the OS has remained a challenge in the industry. Liquidware Labs innovation answers the need for Dynamic Application Portability (DAP) with ProfileUnity s FlexApp technology. ProfileUnity FlexApp technology FlexApp now makes user and department installed applications a reality. When this feature is enabled for users, they have the ability to seamlessly install applications into their non-persistent or persistent desktop environment without affecting the underlying golden image. The installation process is the same as if they were installing an application on any other Windows desktop. The difference comes as FlexApp intelligently hooks the installation process to automatically place the application installation files on a storage area separate from the Windows OS and VDI session. ProfileUnity uses innovative technology to automatically snap the application s files back into the users session at every login within seconds. The user can then use their application on any delivery method in the organization, physical or virtual. Applications can be uninstalled using the standard Windows add and remove program utility. 4
5 FlexApp also enables the ability to do Department- Installed Applications through its ability to snap-in applications to all users, specific groups of users, and based on conditional or context aware filter settings in ProfileUnity. 1 FlexApp fills a void in the virtual desktop market and expands the user candidate pool for VDI by empowering users to install the applications they need to be productive. By insulating the base image and underlying operating system from traditional application installations, it also instantly lowers the cost of managing Windows, streamlines application virtualization strategies, and makes managing desktops easier than ever before. FlexApp is lightweight and does not necessitate an additional Windows shell environment. Applications are 'snapped-in' at logon. Liquidware Labs in-depth testing for scalability and breadth results are impressive -- a virtual desktop session with more than 400 user-installed applications for a single user that are snapped into the desktop session quickly at logon! There is no SQL database or complex layered architecture. Quite simply, users applications are stored to a variety of storage devices including cost effective SAN environments. The solution boasts an unprecedented industry success rate of virtualizing the install of applications. Even apps requiring file system drivers and other dependencies have been proven to work. Part of a complete desktop transformation ProfileUnity with FlexApp is part of a complete desktop transformation process. Liquidware Labs and HP offer solutions that complete the entire cycle including Assessment, Design, Migration & User Virtualization, and Experience Validation. Summary Liquidware Labs brings both enhanced user control as well as application portability to HP s VirtualSystem CV2 for VMware View architectures. 1 ProfileUnity FlexApp technology for department installed applications is planned for availability in ProfileUnity 5.0 in
