Ivanti, the
company that unifies IT to better manage and secure the digital workplace,
today announced extended Cache Roaming functionality for Ivanti Environment
Manager that more deeply supports the mobility demands of today's end users.
Improving the user experience in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)
environments, Ivanti Environment Manager Cache Roaming now supports concurrent
user connections to Office 365, from multiple sessions or desktops, and also
fully roams search indexes for immediate results after logon.
"Digital workers demand
consistent access to their Office 365 applications without fear of data loss or
inconsistencies between devices," said Jon
Rolls, Vice President, User Workspace Management Products at Ivanti. "With
these enhancements to our Cache Roaming capability, users of Office 365 and
other apps that rely on large caches will get a fast experience immediately
after logging into a new session, with instant search results and no conflicts
if they have multiple sessions open."
Cache Roaming for Ivanti
Environment Manager supports VDI infrastructures including Citrix Virtual Apps
and Desktops, and VMware Horizon, as well as direct Microsoft Remote Desktop
Session Host (RDSH) scenarios. The feature uses a VHD (virtual hard disk file)
container which attaches to the user's virtual desktop or session to maintain
the most current user content. This enterprise-scale solution delivers flexibility and
granular control while offering deep integration with Office 365 Profile
Management to uniquely enable the native coupling of roaming cached Outlook
data with the Personalization of the user's default Outlook Profile and all
other aspects of the user desktop. Granular targeting and policy control
enables administrators to target pools of users, devices, network ranges or any
other criteria when deploying the VHD action.
"Ivanti continues to innovate in response to growing virtual
desktop demand for greater user mobility, productivity and experience,
especially when it comes to Office 365," said Michael Quirin, Partner, Alchemy
Technology Group an Ivanti Expert Solution Provider (ESP) Platinum partner.
"With their new Cache Roaming capabilities for Ivanti Environment Manager,
Ivanti is changing the game for VDI workspaces which makes the adoption of
Office 365 even more attractive for our customers."
