Customer Challenge:
Provide ‘Sync and Share” capabilities for a modern non-persistent Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
Environment:
Pre-production build-out of a “Just-in-Time” (JIT) desktop model for the customer using VMware’s Horizon Enterprise EUC software.
Background:
Sync and Share software has become a valuable tool for users to work on and share personal files. For VDI, it has been problematic integrating into a linked-clone/non-persistent deployment. Obstacles include where to store user data and saving application settings. Many Sync and Share applications do not allow redirection to a network share. Sync and Share applications often utilize some form of local “lite” database that maintains the sync config with the cloud stored data.
Outcome:
Google Drive with sync, was successfully delivered in the JIT Real-Time model utilizing App Volumes and User Environment Manager (UEM).
