Virtual Iron Integration Full integration with VI’s Virtualization Manager, including virtual machine power management and hands-free Sysprep-based OS customization. Microsoft SharePoint Integration A SharePoint web part edition of the Provision Networks Web-IT interface enables joint customers to benefit from rapid integration and a delivery infrastructure that is highly manageable, scalable and extensible. Tighter Integration with Microsoft Active Directory Provides for the auto-creation and auto-removal of AD computer objects upon creation or deletion of virtual machines. Support for Multiple Resource Pools and Data Stores Allows for the mass creation of virtual machines across multiple resource pools and data stores. Semi-Permanent VM Assignment Provides for the automated assignment of a new temporary but dedicated virtual machine, until the original permanent VM becomes accessible. Scheduled VM Power Operations Enables VMs to be automatically powered on and suspended at the start and conclusion of a business day, respectively. This ensures VMs are always powered on during work hours, and powered off shortly after employees conclude their work day. “Disabled” Flag Individual desktops and desktop groups can be flagged as “disabled,” allowing scheduled maintenance tasks to be performed without the possibility of inadvertent user access. Enhanced Sysprep-Based Customization Framework Complete support for Sysprep customization features (Windows XP and Server 2003), and the ability to manually edit Sysprep.inf using the new built-in Sysprep editor. Virtual Channel Policies Enables policy-based access to local devices over RDP, including drives, printers, smart cards, clipboard, audio, and serial ports. Enhanced Printing Support New font management capabilities deliver superior print quality and reliability, as well as drastic print job size reductions compared to other universal print drivers. Support for Neoware Image Manager Streams desktop OS images into virtual machines and centralizes image management. New Clients: • New Java Client • New Unix/LinuxClient • HP Thin Client t5135 • Neoware VDI-edition Thin Clients • Wyse S10 and V10 (VDI editon) Read the entire feature list here.
