By capturing user profile and configuration data and persisting this data in. FSLogix Profile Containers can persist user data and user configuration data between nonpersistent desktop sessions.

Microsoft FSLogix integrates with VMware technologies to complement Horizon desktop models. One of these models involves assembling disposable virtual machines with attached containerized applications and saved settings to build a nonpersistent desktop service with a persistent user experience, nonpersistent VMs provide significant improvements in speed and efficiency of desktop and application lifecycle management. VMware Horizon® accommodates a number of desktop and application models. Instead of using a legacy physical storage array or deploying VMs and additional licensing to provide file services, an administrator can simply enable this cluster-level service on a vSAN cluster. Native file services for VMware vSAN™ helps ease the burden of management overhead when vSAN environments require file-level services. These approaches introduce additional factors in the design and management of an environment that are not trivial. Historically, providing file-level services meant using a physical storage array or VMs capable of serving file-level protocols such as NFS and SMB. Most importantly, the infrastructure itself must be able to scale with the minimal total cost of ownership (TCO) yet still provide enterprise-class performance.įile Services are a common requirement in the virtual desktop environment. Applications need to be refreshed and published at will and should not require multiple levels of IT administration. Customers wanting to deploy a virtual desktop infrastructure today, require a cost-effective, highly scalable, and easy-to-manage solution.
