VDIworks Virtual Desktop Platform Review

Universally Discover All Assets In Your Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Universal discovery is among the powerful features of VDIworks Virtual Desktop Platform that users can take advantage of. This feature enables them to centrally and universally track and manage all of their VDI-related assets from a single easy-to-use console. Because of this, they will be able to easily find whatever specific assets they are concern about which include virtual machines, hypervisors, blades, servers, endpoint devices, and users and groups in their Active Directory system. This eliminates the need to use multiple disparate management consoles and tools that will only waste their time and money.

Smart And Flexible Connection Brokering

VDIworks Virtual Desktop Platform provides connection management features, and one of them is connection broker mapping. This feature handles the process of distributing desktop sessions from clients to virtual machines and physical assets.

Connection brokering in VDIworks Virtual Desktop Platform is flexible in such a way that end-users can be connected to virtual machines based on the client they are using (thin client or zero client). The distribution of desktop sessions can also be determined on the basis of end-users themselves. When desktop sessions are broken, this feature ensures that the disconnected end-users are able to immediately reconnect to the virtual machines.

Deliver A Consistent Experience As End-Users Switch Between VMs or Desktop Sessions

Another connection management feature included in the platform is connection switching. With this feature, end-users will be able to switch between one virtual machine or desktop session to another without being disrupted by environment customization or configuration issues. In other words, users can standardize the customization and configuration of their environments so that end-users will have a consistent experience as they switch between virtual machines or desktop sessions.

An Agnostic Approach To Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Management

VDIworks Virtual Desktop Platform is a vendor and hypervisor-agnostic VDI management solution. It eliminates vendor lock-in wherein users are compelled to use only a single hypervisor solution or platform. Because the solution applies an agnostic approach to VDI management, users can indeed use any hypervisor solution they prefer, whether ESX, VMware Server, Xen, or Hyper-V. They can even use different hypervisor solutions all together in a single environment.

Asset Inventory Management, Monitoring, And Reporting

The VDI management system offers an inventory management feature that provides users with complete visibility into the entirety of their physical and virtual machines. The system makes sure that they can quickly access all information related to their assets such as application installation, processor and memory configuration, hardware features and capabilities, and any information provided by vendors. This way, they will be able to easily report on these assets, manage them, and discover the assets that require maintenance.

User And Security Management

User and security management capabilities are also built into VDIworks Virtual Desktop Platform. For instance, the solution helps users monitor active processes or sessions and alerts them whenever a suspicious activity or event is spotted. The solution also generates extensive audit logs and reports. When it comes to user management, it supports integration with Active Directory. As a result, existing Active Directory user profiles, identities, and credentials can be used for single sign-on access and user authentication to ensure that environments and assets are accessed only by authorized end-users.
