Liquidware Labs FlexApp demo
At VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas, Liquidware Labs announced that user-installed application functionality will be available in the profile and user environment management solution, ProfileUnity. With ProfileUnity FlexApp, authorized desktop users will now have the ability to install applications during a virtual desktop session-even within shared-image, stateless, non-persistent and floating pool environments.
When users log off, the application installation will not be lost and will be returned to their desktop environment upon next login. ProfileUnity FlexApp also features the ability for departmental managers and administrators to install applications and apply them to individuals or to their entire organizational unit within Microsoft Active Directory.
ProfileUnity FlexApp takes a very lightweight and database-free approach to delivering user and department administrator installed applications.
At VMworld, I recorded this demo of Liquidware Labs FlexApp:
Liquidware Labs FlexApp is planned to be officially released with ProfileUnity version 5.0 by the end of the year.
VMWorld 2011- Update 1

Synology DS1511+ NAS Review
This is the sixth post in the SMB/LAB NAS review. The entire review compares the following products on features and performance:
- Cisco NSS324
- Iomega IX4-200d
- Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 6
- QNAP TS-859U-RP+
- Synology DS1511+
Today I describe my experiences with the Synology DS1511+. This unit is one of the heaviest prosumer models of Synology and is fitted with 5 drive bays. The unit looks nice, is quiet (of course depending on the disks you use) and is just like the QNAP, packed with features.

Today I describe my experiences with the the QNAP TS859U-RP+. As I described in the introduction post of this blog series; the models we compare aren’t always really equeal, this proves it. This rack mounted QNAP is one of the most feature rich and business-ready NAS devices we tested, with a dual power supply, dual NIC, MPIO support and 8 bays.

It has a single power supply, dual NIC, 2 USB ports on the back and one USB port on the front, with a copy/backup button. It has lockable trays and a display on the front. It also has an on/off button on the back and that’s unique. … Continue Reading
