1User profile management-

How to manage user profiles in a VDI deployment

Even with VDI, most users want their desktops to be their own. When they log on, they expect to see the apps they need, the files they've saved and the customizations they've made. To keep track of all this, IT can turn to user profile management to enable users to maintain their settings even in nonpersistent deployments. They can also look to roaming profiles to deliver a cohesive experience across devices.

How to deliver the best user experience possible

Users often can't articulate their problems effectively to IT. They usually just say, "My computer is slow." As a result, IT pros should look into VDI monitoring tools that can help pinpoint where problems are happening so they can more quickly and effectively fix them. VDI monitoring tools can also help prevent problems from reoccurring or happening in the first place.
