visionapp Application Delivery Management Suite 2008

Giving users the applications they need is vital to ensure success in almost every modern

business. But the inefficiencies from globalization, server management, and constant

technology updates can raise costs and frustrate users. Today’s business reality is one of

constant change – IT infrastructure demands a rapid response to change.

The user challenge >Various users with different profiles (employees, customers, partners, suppliers) need

secure, easy access to applications and data based on a range of criteria such as location,

terminal device and access rights.

The application challenge >Various types of application (stand-alone, client-server, hosts, web) must be delivered

through different technologies (local installation, centralized or streamed).

The server infrastructure challenge >Various server types (Windows Terminal Server, Citrix Presentation Server, web server,

hosted desktops, standard server) make applications and services available to clients

using a range of communication technologies.

The visionapp products enable effective and cost-efficient management of all these aspects

based on standardized processes, providing:

Editions and product

positioning of vWM and

vSM 2008

Products designed to meet

all challenges

vADM has two components:

> visionapp Workspace Management 2008

(vWM)

> visionapp Server Management 2008

(vSM)

Each of these are available with standard,

advanced and enterprise functionality (see

figure below). In flexibly selecting, combin-

ing and expanding the available functions of

these applications, vADM can be tailored to

changing requirements, providing outstand-

ing investment protection.

Reliable infrastructure with

High Availability

With a full audit trail, ITIL support and auto-

mation of operational processes, vSM en-

sures a secure structure and High Availability

operation of Windows-based server infra-

structures in computer centers, even across

multiple-site corporate networks. vWM’s

scalable architecture provides secure, High

Availability access to applications for an un-

limited number of users.

Flexible, user-friendly

application delivery

vWM provides employees, customers,

suppliers and partners with a standardized,

reliable access to applications, irrespective

of their location, terminal device, type of

application or user group. To maximize data

security, access can be controlled based on

these and other factors.

Responsive, cost-efficient

management

The central, automated administration of the

two components of vADM provides efficient

management of all aspects of the application

delivery infrastructure. vSM allows fast,

company-wide introduction of new applications,

while vWM controls access to the applications

for defined users and user groups.

Supporting business processes

Value add is determined not so much by the

technology used as by the effective employ-

ment of the application by its users. vWM

and vSM provide administration support for

the entire range of available application de-

livery technologies.

vWM 2008

Centralized, consistent

User Workspace and

Application Access Management

Benefits of vWM

Cost-efficiency through >standardization and central management

Central administration >of application portfolios

Access security >through authentication and user profiles

Fast application >delivery for various user groups

Multi-client and >multilingual capability

High scalability and >fail safety

Flexible location- >independent IT work-station

Standardized user access – reliable, consistent, intuitive and comprehensive

visionapp Workspace Management provides effective administration and

deployment of corporate applications to a range of user groups.

The growing trend towards flexible workplaces,

increasing user mobility and many basic

technologies call for an ever more efficient

yet secure application delivery for various

user groups.

Through a browser-based desktop, visionapp

Workspace Management provides standardized

access to all common business applications

through a central management capability.

The separation of application access and

technical deployment methods enhances the

flexibility: New user groups, partners and

customers as well as additional locations,

can be added without increasing administra-

tive expenses or compromising data security.

vWM’s system architecture provides the

perfect foundation for establishing a highly

available application deployment infrastruc-

ture. In combination with a range of user

profiles, the integration of common authenti-

cation methods with a proven track record in

the banking sector provides optimum access

protection.

From the users’ perspective, vWM provides

consistent and transparent access to all

required applications. Through the configu-

rable user interface, users can create their

own personal access page while still receiving

important, centrally distributed information

and access to the required applications.

With these capabilities, vWM provides com-

prehensive application access management

across all sites and business areas without

compromising response times, flexibility or

cost-efficiency.

vSM 2008

ITIL-based operation and

management of applications

and infrastructure

Benefits of vSM

Standardization and >complexity reduction

Efficiency through >automated operational processes

Flexible and highly >available infrastructure

Easy integration into the >existing infrastructure

Rugged, scalable >system architecture

Release management >and complete audit trail

Support for ITIL >processes

The increasing centralization of IT and the

deployment of Windows applications in busi-

nesses can stretch available administration

resources to the limit. The dynamic nature of

IT-supported processes – such as the world-

wide introduction of new applications – results

in a rapid rate of change.

visionapp Server Management provides

efficient administration of all types of Windows-

based server infrastructures through a central

user interface, especially those used for

application virtualization.

Standardizing operational processes and

supporting ITIL, vSM ensures a stable,

environment with a full audit trail. Changes

remain tracable and have the same result

even if the administration personnel changes.

Additional automation of the operational

tasks contribute to a fast reaction time for

system expansion or changes and minimizes

the time needed for Disaster Recovery.

The basic approach taken with vSM of build-

ing up server infrastructures from separate,

reusable modules ensures an infrastructure

with the greatest possible homogeneity.

Especially where changes occur with an in-

creasing frequency, this results in significant

cost savings.

vSM provides all the required features to

maintain a stable, highly available Windows

server infrastructure while ensuring high

performance and maximizing cost efficiency.

Use visionapp Server Management to implement standardization, automation

and availability for Microsoft and Citrix-based servers.

Controlled application delivery infrastructure for stability, security, availability and efficiency

Use Cases

A solution for every

challenge

Use visionapp products to get a competitive edge

The demands made on an application delivery infrastructure are many and

challenging. With the visionapp Application Delivery Management Suite, the

infrastructure will meet the needs of enterprise-specific conditions.

This will help pave the way for a future roadmap and will bring a tremendous

advantage to the entire organization.

Boost IT efficiency and availability

The secure, problem-free delivery of appli-

cations for users will work reliably as long as

no changes are made. To stay ahead of the

game, changes are constantly needed. The

vADM management tool provides the capa-

bilities for an effective administration of user

access rights as well as the central applica-

tion infrastructure. The standardization and

automation of operational processes ensures

maximum flexibility for a cost-effective and

High Availability IT operation.

Provide mobile users and new

locations with access

Some employees work from home, others

work in the field and – as the enterprise

grows – new locations are opened. To ensure

a continued high level of productivity without

obstructing growth through technical hurdles

or risking an explosion of administrative costs,

the technological foundation must be firm

yet flexible. vADM provides the growing user

base with access to the required applications

quickly, flexibly and independent of location.

Disaster Recovery and maintenance

of business operations

More than ever before, no business can get

by without application access. Disaster Re-

covery and other preventive measures are

essential, and vADM will give the quickest

way to duplicate the environment. Featuring

comprehensive logging, ITIL process support,

terminal and mobile application access, and

worry-free administration of multiple com-

puter centers, vADM provides everything

needed to implement an infrastructure that

supports Disaster Recovery.

Make the next merger as smooth

as possible

Experts from the Harvard Business Review

state that the world’s best companies have

learned that growing through M&A activity

is cheaper, faster, and more innovative than

growing organically. To ensure the success

of an acquisition, it is essential to make

available the applications, processes, and

files that get new users up to speed so they

can contribute quickly and efficiently. vADM

will provide the tools needed to expand the

user portfolio smoothly and rapidly, deliv-

ering a range of applications to user groups

across multiple locations.
