The Citrix Synergy 2018 awards were announced today at Citrix
Synergy, Anaheim. And the FSLogix team took home two awards, one for New Technology and the second
the coveted Best of Show for their brand new
Cloud Cache solution.
VMblog would like to extend its congratulations to the entire team
at FSLogix for their hard work in developing this award winning product and bringing
it to market.
The
New Technology category acknowledges products and services that were not
generally available prior to Synergy but will ship by the end of 2018. The
award recognizes innovative and buzz-worthy products that excited judges and
conference attendees.
According to the
judges, "Cloud Cache
takes a unique approach to handling user profile storage that can help IT
address challenges around cloud storage costs and application availability. The
ability to sync data to multiple locations without downtime is extremely useful."
The judges also looked over the various category winners to determine the Citrix Synergy 2018 Best
of Show award. And FSLogix Cloud Cache once again beat out all the other submissions
to take home the most coveted award of the show.
The judges said: "This new technology is really very
exciting for everyone who does VDI. It's valuable to be able to manage profiles
without tacking on additional back-end infrastructure."
Cloud Cache enables organizations
to save user profile and Office 365 data to multiple SMB file shares at
the same time, keeping both locations in sync from the client
side, without having to use traditional storage replication techniques. Cloud
Cache works with any type of desktop (physical, persistent VDI, non-persistent
VDI, or RDSH) and stores data in multiple locations at once, independent of
desktop location.
Cloud Cache leverages native cloud storage, most notably Azure
Page Blobs, which saves money and lets you more efficiently use cloud resources,
which means you can not only maintain real-time copies of your user data on
premises and at DR sites, but also in the cloud. With Cloud Cache, you can make
your user profile and Office 365 data globally redundant.
