Tranxition Introduces User Virtualization Solution |
Tuesday, 25 August 2009 by Michel Roth | |||
Combining Tranxition's patented "personality hypervisor"-the industry's first user-focused client hypervisor- and unique "SmartShadowTM" system for user settings translation, AdaptivePersona offers an innovative method to managing personality across increasingly complex and dynamic desktop environments. To truly virtualize the user experience, AdaptivePersona uses a personality hypervisor to intelligently intercept and manage desktop personality activity while at the same time leveraging SmartShadow -a thesaurus-like capability-to translate user customizations to the current running OS or application. Tranxition's AdaptivePersona provides the only user virtualization solution that truly decouples desktop personality from the desktop regardless of OS and application versions. This allows IT staff to manage desktops as commodities while still providing the rich personalized experience users require and demand. Suggested single user, list prices range from $24 per named user for a "Foundation" version focused on VDI, and up to $38 per concurrent user for an "Advanced" version that includes additional features such as SmartShadow translation for more complex desktop environments. Tranxition believes that the model for an abstracted personality can be found in the hardware virtualization arena. At the core of AdaptivePersona is a Personality Hypervisor technology running in the Windows desktop OS, which monitors and intercepts process activity related to personality (registry and file activities). Any changes to personality elements -either by the Windows OS itself or a running application - are captured and stored in the AdaptivePersona back‐end service. With personality separated from the OS the underlying infrastructure (HW/OS/Apps/Data) can change without significantly impacting the user.
AdaptivePersona uses a patented technology to intelligently abstract and encapsulate deskto personality elements (application settings, OS settings, files, metadata, network configurations,and detail outside of Windows profiles); freeing IT to focus on and manage the OS and applications as a commodities. Also unique to AdaptivePersona is Tranxition's SmartShadowTM content translation feature "Content" is the Tranxition terminology for version‐specific user personality settings (Microsoft Windows XP or Internet Explorer profile settings for example). Tranxition - through our acquired knowledge in the personality migration space has developed the capability for the personality stored in the AdaptivePersona back‐end to be dynamically translated into the working environment of the logged‐in user.
Tranxition’s intelligent SmartShadow technology allows users to work in a “floating” environment; providing the same rich experience regardless of the underlying platform. With SmartShadow, Tranxition allows IT organizations to increase end‐user satisfaction while reducing support costs associated with a changing end‐user environment.
