ACHIEVE SUCCESSFUL 365 DEPLOYMENTS IN ALL VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENTS

As Office 365 rolls out into the enterprise, often a forgotten component is the VDI\RDSH\XenApp environments. Generally, these environments are designed to be non-persistent, as we look at how to deal with the data components of O365, OST, Skype for Global Address List (S4B GAL), OneNote, and OneDrive IT has been left with only a few options. Option 1, go on line and deal with the user complaints, Option 2, Cache everything local, this creates large repetitive downloads of data or user being bound to a particular machine, not very non persistent, or Option 3 put data on a network folder, this results in high IO, data corruption and per-formance issues. Now FSLogix has a solution that gives both IT and User the desired performance and

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

FSLogix OFFICE 365 CONTAINER PROVIDES:True Cached Exchange Mode – with patent- pending OST containerization, Outlook on XenApp and XenDesktop can now function and perform as if locally installed on a high perfor-mance virtual workspace session. Users don’t

need to compromise email and calendar performance to adopt strategic initiatives like virtual desktops. Outlook Real-Time Search – enables inbox and personal folder search to work as designed on both XenApp and XenDesktop, with maximum perfor-mance, and no workarounds requiring end-user training or unique behavior between physical and virtual environments.

OneDrive for Business – Enable OneDrive for Busi-ness in XenApp and XenDesktop. Roam OneDrive for Business user data seamlessly in every virtual desktop environment without the need to resync at each logon.

S4B GAL – Large GAL’s can be an issue in non-per-sistent environments causeing the GAL to be down-loaded everytime a user connects to a system. This can cause heavy load on exchange systems, Storage, and compute platforms. With FSLogix we download once, and update many as changes get published, reducing the overall data IO.

“FSLogix gives us true Cached Exchange Mode through its Office 365 Container. Our Outlook launch times went from several minutes to seconds. We also saw a dramatic improvement in the ongoing performance issues when navigating within Outlook such as opening a new email and composing an email, replying to an email, and switching to the calendar. FSLogix removed the roadblock that Cherry Health had reached with its Office 365 migration.”

Tim Riegler, Systems Engineering Manager, Cherry Health

OneNote – Enable local OneNote cache that can roam with the user from host to host and desktop to desktop.Plug and Play management – features a micro-applica-tion footprint with drop-in installation, GPO templates, simple rules based configuration, and the use of existing CIFS/SMB servers, improving the ROI of existing enter-prise infrastructure.

Infrastructure compatibility – works on all major virtual desktop and hosted email solutions, UEM ag-nostic designed to extend existing infrastructure perfor-mance in virtual workspace environments.

For enterprise class performance expected by your end-user community, Cached Exchange Mode (CEM) must be enabled in Outlook. Once CEM is enabled, very large files (.OSTs) will need to persist between virtual workspace sessions. Doing this with traditional approaches like roaming profiles or Folder Redirection will lead to extensive logon times and severe network and performance issues, often times preventing the success of virtual desktop initiatives. To make matters worse, many of these workarounds are supported by Microsoft in a very limited scenario and on a ‘best effort basis’.FSLogix addressed this problem with the release of our award-winning Profile Container solu-tion, launched at Citrix Synergy 2015. Starting in July 2016, a subset of FSLogix Profile Containers is now sold as a separate drop-in module, FSLogix™ Office 365 Container, al-lowing administrators to take full advantage of our Office 365 support without having remove their existing profile or UEM solution. This new offering is the industry’s first drop-in solution that enables true Cached Exchange Mode for all virtual workspaces using Office 365, real time search for virtual desktops, and allows user data to persist/roam in OneDrive for Business.
