Duncan Murdoch, of Amber Reef, uses this white paper to outline the necessary approach to centrally control and manage FTAs for Word 2013 and WordViewer using FSLogix.
After addressing the reason and symptoms of the issue, Duncan asserts, "If the desire is to 'Control the FTA' centrally and manage the associations with FSLogix, preventing the users from overriding the FTA settings," then "to achieve this you can create 2 separate FTA rules, one for Word 2013 and another for WordViewer."
By applying these rules alongside the FSLogix Hiding rules for the applications, then the Administrator can ensure that the FTA that is applied is the one that they have allocated to the application group.
NOTE: This will also prevent a user from being able to right-click the file and assign their OWN FTA preferences.
A concise, visual guide to implementing file type associations when using App-V with FSLogix. Duncan Murdoch, of Amber Reef, uses this white paper to show the precise steps for managing file type associations (FTAs) when using App-V with FSLogix. As an example for managing the file type associations for App-V packages, Duncan Murdoch demonstrates the ease of this process with Adobe DC and FOX-IT Reader as published applications. With a couple quick steps and a single FSLogix rule, the proper FTAs are put in place for the desired default .pdf application.
Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union is more than just a bank. It is a financial cooperative intent on helping its members save time, save money and earn money. Over the years, the credit union has grown from providing financial resources to military service members and their families to serving hundreds of thousands of members across Texas and around the world. RBFCU has a presence in three major market areas — Austin, Dallas and San Antonio — and has more than 55 branches dedicated to serving members and the community.
First and foremost, RBFCU is people. It’s the more than 1,800 employees who serve members’ needs each day. It’s the senior team and Board of Directors that guide the credit union’s growth. It’s the members who give their support and loyalty to the credit union each day.
To help its employees provide the credit union’s members with the highest levels of services and support, Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union relies on IGEL’s endpoint computing solutions.
With so many organizations looking to find ways to embrace the public cloud without compromising the security of their data and applications, a hybrid cloud strategy is rapidly becoming the preferred method of efficiently delivering IT services.
This guide aims to provide you with an understanding of the driving factors behind why the cloud is being adopted en-masse, as well as advice on how to begin building your own cloud strategy.
Topics discussed include:• Why Cloud?• Getting There Safely• IT Resilience in the Hybrid Cloud• The Power of Microsoft Azure and Zerto
You’ll find out how, by embracing the cloud, organizations can achieve true IT Resilience – the ability to withstand any disruption, confidently embrace change and focus on business.
Learn the benefits and limitations of the 3 generations of IT infrastructure – siloed, converged and hyperconverged – and discover how the 4th generation of IT infrastructure – composable – can transform your business.
The composable infrastructure enables you to:
Manage your infrastructure from anywhere through a single SaaS management portal
Businesses today aspire to achieve a software-defined datacenter (SDDC) to enhance business agility and reduce operational complexity. However, the SDDC solutions available today forgot about the most complex part of your infrastructure—the network.
Network virtualization is critical to simplify application scaling and improve application performance without lengthy maintenance windows and potential security risks. In this whitepaper you will be introduced to Cloudistics Ignite’s Adaptive Overlay Network (AON) technology that provides the following benefits:◦ Simplifies and automates network provisioning, avoiding manual errors common when dealing with physical networks, VLANs, etc.
Natively built-into the Ignite platform, lowering costs by eliminating the need for 3rd party software and hardware
Virtualizing Windows applications and desktops in the data center or cloud has compelling security, mobility and management benefits, but delivering real-time voice and video in a virtual environment is a challenge. A poorly optimized implementation can increase costs and compromise user experience. Server scalability and bandwidth efficiency may be less than optimal, and audio-video quality may be degraded.
Enabling voice and video with a bundled solution in an existing Citrix environment delivers clearer and crisper voice and video than legacy phone systems. This solution guide describes how Sennheiser headsets combine with Citrix infrastructure and IGEL endpoints to provide a better, more secure user experience. It also describes how to deploy the bundled Citrix-Sennheiser-IGEL solution.
Modern enterprise IT teams are increasingly adopting cloud computing technologies as a foundational component of their strategy to deliver business value for internal stakeholders.
While public cloud infrastructures are often an initial launching point for experimenting with these environments, private cloud solutions are an attractive alternative due to their ability to meet specific functional and security requirements while extending comparable benefits. To truly realize the potential of these investments, however, organizations need to be able to instantiate their high value use cases via private cloud capabilities such as those offered by Stratoscale’s solution.
A critical area of responsibility for IT teams is that they identify appropriate solutions for line-of-business (LOB) applications to meet the requirements of the business units that they support. As part of this, they take on the ownership of deploying, managing, and accommodating the customization of these workloads as needed. Many applications capable of meeting LOB requirements today are packaged and delivered as web services due to the fact that these configurations offer multiple operational advantages including scalability and resiliency. In addition, they allow providers to meet demands from users that they be able to access application functionality seamlessly across their various screens including desktops and mobile devices. For IT teams, this translates into the need for deploying internal facing web services using their private cloud infrastructures.
As opposed to traditional desktop software which may be updated on an infrequent basis, web services engender a model where functionality is continuously under development. This implies that IT teams work closely with developers to ensure that application improvements are released to users in a methodical and timely manner. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines can be built to accommodate this interaction so that value created by developers can be rapidly and safely delivered to users in an iterative manner.
