15 2014 Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity Reach

16 V1 Profile Seamlessly Move Between V1 & V2 Profiles V2 Profile ProfileUnity Portability Management

17 ProfileUnity Top 10 Use Cases: 1. Seamless v1 to v2 to v3 profiles Co-existence, beyond one-way one-time 2. Migration of Profiles and Data seamless onboarding to new desktop 3. Replace Roaming Profiles solving profile portability, granular, faster, dependable 4. Lower costs of delivering VDI lower storage and management costs 5. Make more users compatible with VDI knowledge workers and power users can have the customizations and apps they demand even in VDI 6. Deliver context aware desktop experience printer management, settings, shortcuts, etc. al based on custom filters 7. Disaster Recovery - persona, data, apps restored in seconds to any Windows desktop 8. Ongoing management of the desktop provision settings, configs, reg, lockdown, etc. 9. To deliver follow-me applications by user and department 10. One central user management console -Persona, Applications, Configurations, and central migration settings for any and all Windows desktops
