Dell Citrix and Intel profile management practices
Control and manage the contents and size of user profiles efficiently, regardless of where and how employees choose to log on, with profile management solutions. Profile management simplifies and lowers the cost of virtual desktops by enabling single-instance management, and provides employees with the same high-quality user experience — no matter the device or location in which they work. The technology also auto consolidates and optimizes user profiles to minimize management and storage requirements.
Dell recommends using profile management technology such as Citrix® User Profile Manager ― a feature of Citrix XenDesktop™ on Dell™ Desktop Virtualization Solutions (DDVS) ― to minimize the amount of data managed and stored. Citrix User Profile Manager also captures all settings by default, reducing the time and effort needed to identify what must be captured. This feature enables you to focus only on items such as conflicting settings, files and folders that should be excluded from a profile to reduce bloat.
With the Citrix User Profile Manager software, you can get the following benefits:
- Consistent personal settings for users
- Faster log-on and log-off speeds
- Ability to troubleshoot and analyze software processes
- Control of the migration of user profiles when you upgrade to the latest Microsoft® OS
- Productivity gains, with incremental costs, to a desktop virtualization implementation
- Enhanced user and IT department experience
