Continue ReadingThe need of doing User Environment Management on (all) your digital workspaces… and not just virtual
Average time to read: 5 minutesThroughout the years I have had the pleasure of visiting dozens of companies to talk about their ‘digital workspace’ challenges. Projects ranged from thousands of users/machines to just a few hundred. Some of these challenges were related to physical desktops, some to virtual, some were on-premises, some were cloud-based. I’ve worked for retail companies, financial, travel, in healthcare, etc. No matter their branch and/or size, they all dealt with the same types of issues.
Innovation and making progress! Liquidware – you’ve heard about them before, right?
Average time to read: 5 minutesEven though I’m no longer employed by Liquidware, I still very much like the technology and people involved. In today’s post, I want to highlight some of the major product updates they have launched throughout the last couple of months – it’s pretty impressive.

Werkplek en applicatie lifecycle management binnen ziekenhuizen – een grote zorg!
Average time to read: 3 minutesHet aantal afspraken bij verschillende zorg instellingen is de afgelopen maanden explosief gestegen. Naast de gebruikelijke uitdagingen rondom gebruikers tevredenheid, het proactief kunnen (keten) monitoren van kritische infrastructurele componenten en aanstaande migraties is men erg geïnteresseerd in de mogelijkheden rondom werkplek en applicatie lifecycle management.

Meltdown and Spectre – Minimize impact and avoid performance problems – how Stratusphere UX can help!
Average time to read: 4 minutesWhen it comes to both Meltdown and Spectre, the question you should be asking yourself is not if you are affected or at risk – because you most likely are. The question you should be asking yourself is what do I need to do and how does it impact the performance of my server/desktop farm?! Whether it’s virtual or physical, Microsoft, VMware or Citrix based, desktop or server, it doesn’t matter, all need to be looked after.
The Easy Button – A story about Corruption, Portability, Office 365, User Profile bloat, ProfileDisk, non-persistent Data Indexing and more…
Average time to read: 15 minutes20 Min. read – User profiles have been around for many years. According to Wikipedia the user-profiling scheme in force today owes its origins to Windows NT, which stored its profiles within the system folder itself, typically under C:\WINNT\Profiles\. Windows 2000 saw the change to a separate “Documents and Settings” folder for profiles, and in this respect, is virtually identical to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

Not only from a feature/functionality perspective but from a vendor/company perspective as well.

Average time to read: 6 minutesBeing a member of various communities, the IGEL Tech Insider program, in this case, has its perks from time to time.
