AppSense and App-DNA help herd users across the difficult crossings of the IT landscape
Nick Booth
Virtually every corporate and enterprise organisation is in some phase of planning or deploying new desktop infrastructure
IT users are a bit like Wildebeest. Regular as clockwork, they are forced to migrate across harsh territory as their own environment becomes increasingly hostile and unable to support the population.
So, like it or lump it, they are forced into a mass migration, to the fresh pastures of Windows 7 where they will find temporary respite.
For safety, the masses are huddled together and move as one. But the mass migration does have many casualties. Predators lurk in all kinds of areas, plotting to pick them off. The most dangerous part of the journey is the crossing.
Now AppSense and App-DNA have joined forces to make the migration safer for the users. (Hang on, should a company called App-DNA be messing with the forces of natural selection like this? Surely we need wastage to cull the users every now and then. Isn’t this nature’s way?)
No it isn’t argues App-DNA. We’re talking about human beings here and they need to be helped to reach their maximum potential.
The AppSense and App-DNA partnership is helping to protect the users and speed them on their way as they migrate to more bountiful environments, such as Windows 7, virtual desktop computing and remote desktop services for physical and virtual machines.
App-DNA helps to save the lives of many IT managers and CIOs too, according to the Gartner Group. It saves their careers by helping them to analyse, plan, manage and deliver.
This isn’t just confined to the plains of the Serengeti, but is a global phenomenon. “Virtually every corporate and enterprise organisation is in some phase of planning or deploying new desktop infrastructure,” said David Roussain, the VP of strategic alliances at AppSense.
Analysts say the users desperately need help. “The traditional end-user desktop is undergoing a period of significant transformation,” said Chris Wolf, Research VP, Gartner.
