User virtualisation technology provider AppSense and application migrations firm App-DNA have signed a strategic partnership to provide a comprehensive, user-centric desktop transformation program to the organisations.
The companies jointly accelerates the migration of Windows-based applications onto new platforms such as Windows7, virtual desktop computing and remote desktop services.
With the new approach many user-related and application-related project barriers can be eliminated and also IT managers can migrate the critical applications to new desktops faster, with less risk, while delivering a consistent end-user experience across all platforms.
AppSense and App-DNA jointly provide organisations with the capabilities to analyse, plan, manage and deliver.
App-DNA provides deep application analysis and allows organisations to achieve their end user computing strategies by informing them on how to deliver the application to the end user based on the enterprise’s infrastructure and end user experience goals
Whereas, AppSense allows IT to manage the user, independent of the environment, across all computing platforms and delivery mechanisms and AppSense user virtualisation enables IT to deliver the user to any desktop, device or location, allowing for flexibility, freedom of choice and the reduction of IT barriers.
AppSense strategic alliances vice-president David Roussain said virtually every corporate and enterprise organisation is in some phase of planning or deploying new desktop infrastructure. In every case, this includes various combinations of Windows 7, virtual desktops and remote desktop services.
"In addition, we believe every organization is undergoing the additional pain of application migration, that’s where our partnership with App-DNA steps in to accelerate the desktop transformation lifecycle," said Roussain.
App-DNA chief customer officer Kurt Heusner by leveraging App-DNA, customers accelerate desktop migrations which saves time, lowers cost and dramatically reduces application migration risks.
"Providing customers with a proven method to analyze and understand their application inventory, performance and transition risks before deployment, allows them to plan ahead and manage migrations far more effectively. Saving time, money and potential downtime allows them to work within the constraints of their IT budgets," said Heusner.
