Use cases

With the unified architecture, we can now deliver server-based computing with the help of XenApp and virtual desktop integration with XenDesktop.

Now we can deliver the application and desktop on the preceding use cases, and with this, IT can provide each type of user with the virtual computing environment suited to their need while optimizing the security, performance, personalization, and cost.

In the modern world, we have different kinds of users.

Task worker

Task workers perform a set of well-defined tasks. They access a set of applications and have limited requirements of their PCs. However, since these workers are interacting with your clients, partners, and employees, they have their critical data. FlexCast architecture enables IT to provide shared desktop and application hosted on the server or desktop to task workers while keeping their data secure.

Knowledge workers

While traditional office workers perform their duties in office only, today's knowledge workers don't just work in the office; all day, they attend meetings and visit different branch offices, and they also work from home. These workers expect access to all of their corporate applications and data wherever they are. FlexCast enables these users to work seamlessly, moving among their various physical environments.

Mobile worker

Mobile workers need access to their virtual desktop from anywhere, regardless of their ability to connect to a network. In addition, these workers expect the ability to personalize their PCs by installing their own application and storing their own data. FlexCast allows the users to retain control over their personal computing environment while allowing IT to control the corporate computing environment.

Shared workstation

Maintaining even the most state of the art university and business computer lab, conference room, or training centers has its own challenges. The primary challenge is the constant requirement of re-provision of desktops with the latest operating systems and applications as the needs of your organization change. FlexCast provides the tools for the provision of a new environment from a single, easily-managed image.
