Liquidware Labs Delivers Citrix Workspace Cloud Lifecycle Blueprint for ProfileUnity with FlexApp Layering

New Blueprint on industry-leading solutions has been verified as Citrix Ready.

Chicago, IL. - March 8, 2016 – Liquidware Labs, a Citrix Ready Premier partner and leader in desktop transformation solutions, announced today that the ProfileUnity with FlexApp Layering Blueprint has been released for Citrix Workspace Cloud (CWC). The Blueprint has also been Citrix-Ready verified and is immediately available for use via the Citrix Workspace Cloud Lifecycle Management (CLM) online catalog.

ProfileUnity with FlexApp is in use by numerous Citrix customers for User Environment Management (UEM) and Application Layering for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop environments. The solution provides a seamless user experience that is highly scalable whether desktops and XenApp servers are on-premises or cloud hosted. ProfileUnity’s core UEM features are designed to boost user login times, enhance security through context-aware policy management, and increase user productivity while FlexApp Layering is designed to deliver applications just-in-time, reducing the need to set up and maintain numerous Windows OS base desktop images.

“Citrix Workspace Cloud’s strategy is all about enhancing flexibility with cloud-hosted desktop computing to answer to the demands of today’s dynamic customers,” said Jason E. Smith, VP of Product Marketing, Liquidware Labs. “Our new CLM Blueprint embraces that flexibility and adds portable User Environment Management through ProfileUnity and portable cloud-based application delivery with FlexApp Layering - regardless of where the customers’ cloud is hosted.”

The new ProfileUnity with FlexApp Layering CLM Blueprint makes it easier than ever to implement ProfileUnity with FlexApp in a Citrix Workspace Cloud environment. Initial installation and configuration of the solution are fully automated through the CLM Blueprint. Customers answer a few key questions and choose to deploy the solution in their own cloud environment. The Blueprint performs an unattended installation of ProfileUnity and FlexApp in the customers’ cloud of choice. Many public and private clouds are supported but options include Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.

“Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity and FlexApp offers joint customers a good option for full-featured User Environment Management and Advanced Application Layering,” said Siddharth Rabindran, Director, Citrix Ready, Citrix. “Their support of our Citrix Workspace Cloud Lifecycle Management architecture makes it easy for customers to test and implement the solution on their choice for cloud infrastructure.”

ProfileUnity with FlexApp is innovative technology that is the industry’s first solution to incorporate both full User Environment Management and advanced Application Layering in one easy-to-deploy solution. The solutions can be licensed together for maximum productivity. However, they can also be licensed separately, if desired.
