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.
