Making SVS work!Altiris SVS is a unique technology to virtualize applications on desktop systems. Certain behavior in Terminal Server (or CITRIX) environment as well as roaming user environments restrict the use of SVS. Also manageability based upon end-user identity is outside of the scope of the Altiris product.SCENSE is a Dutch software company that embraces the Altiris SVS technology and has encapsulated SVS to relieve the above limitations of SVS. This makes SVS manageable in a desktop, laptop, SBC (Server Based Computing) environment with full support of roaming users. Mixed environments where SVS is not suitable, as with virtualizing AntiVirus applications, are fully supported. SCENSE offers a range of functions that all contribute to dynamic control of user sessions, from logon to logoff, in real-time. Real-Time Application Deployment SCENSE enables application deployment in mixed environments: SCENSE supports centralized and local installations for .exe, .msi, .vsa;
SCENSE plays a role in supporting daily use of the application. IT administrators can directly intervene in real-time as problems arise, and modifications can immediately be implemented. Application dependencies can easily be managed. No more application conflicts. SCENSE offers flexibility in who has access to what applications, based on the active directory. SCENSE allows applications to be withdrawn after use, at logoff or at decommissioning. SCENSE implements versioning of subsequent editions of an application. Real-Time Session Management SCENSE checks and controls the user environment in real-time for each individual user. The composed user environment is based on personal settings and qualifications, and can be independent of location or type of PC. SCENSE provides access to applications based on user identity. Real-Time User Guidance SCENSE analyzes the user profile and guides the user to optimize the user profile. This helps in reducing logon and logoff delays. SCENSE helps users to solve applications problems themselves, by providing re-install, and reset options or application shortcut restore without the need of being a local administrator. Users are able to conduct small maintenance tasks on their workstation. For example restoring network connections or deleting internet cookies. User Guidance directly reduces helpdesk workload. Real-Time User Guidance available in local language SVS specific functions Global excludes enables central management of exludes for all SVS layers. Central management of priorities of layers. Real-time remote control of layers (activate, de-activate, reset and so on). Save and restore of user settings for roaming user and SBC support. De-activation after use or after logoff. Support for Server Based Computing environments What is different about SCENSE?Almost all IT tools are targeted on reduction of the Total Cost of Ownership by automating IT Administrators tasks.
