Symantec Endpoint Virtualization Suite Has Been Nominated Best Application Virtualization Again!
Brad | 29 Jul 2010 | 4 comments

Hey friends and fans of Symantec Workspace Virtualization, formerly known as SVS…

SYS-CON has opened their Virtualization Journal “Readers’ Choice Awards” 2009 and this year Symantec Endpoint Virtualization Suite has been nominated for Best Application Virtualization.

Last year Symantec was proud to win this award, as well as “Best App Virtualization Solution” for SYS-CON’s West Coast event.  It’s very cool to see our community participate and get this recognition.  For many years the SVS IT community has been bringing virtualization technology benefits into server-based-computing and alternative desktops, but primarily into the mainstay of IT - traditional rich client computing environments.

As part of our Juice and Connect community, you’ve come from Altiris desktop management backgrounds, AppStream, with traditional and...

SWV, LSASS and Long Login Times
Jordan | 29 Jul 2010 | 0 comments

Back in April I posted about how with SWV 6.1 would no longer ignore LSASS by default, meaning you could capture MSSQL and similar applications into a layer.  With the release of SWV 6.1 a lot of people started complaining about long delay when logging into a domain. This was caused by SWV no longer ignoring LSASS.

With SWV 6.1 SP1 we've decided to ignore LSASS again so that people wouldn't see the login issue. So if, for some reason, you need to capture something that only worked with SWV 6.1 make sure to keep the installer because it might not capture in SWV 6.1 SP1.

We do have plans to eventually re-support the LSASS scenarios, but I'm not aware of any time frame for doing so.

An easy way to Download Old Program Versions
riva11 | 29 Jul 2010 | 7 comments

In this post I'd like to give you some information where to locate old software. You wonder, why do I need to look for an old programs ? 
The answer is you need to run the old version for some reason.  For example the newer program is not really better than the previous one, or there are so many issues that you prefer to use the old version instead of upgrading to the latest version.
Other examples could be in case you are a programmer and you need to test a program with other application in many different versions , for example, Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.0, 1.5.0.7, etc. or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.0...

The main problem could be locating the different program versions, usually on the website of the majority of software companies you find easily only the current version. For this reason is better to look in other...

On the future of VDI
mikejansen | 29 Jul 2010 | 0 comments

So first of all, I'm as biased as can be when talking about the future of VDI and second of all, this is my view on the world of VDI and Virtualization in general. You may or may not agree with me.

For the past year I've been working with Erik Westhovens of DinamiQs to architect and develop the fastest, most scalable and best performing Virtual Desktop platform in existence today.

That's a bold statement. Intentionally, of course. Like I said, I'm biased. However, this bias is not because I'm just rooting for the home team. I have in fact researched many technologies for one of my customers (the training center of a globally operating business software vendor) who was struggling with the challenges of deploying a 5.000 user environment with future growth to the corporate environment which contains another 40.000 desktops.

Challenges and Demands

The challenges of the traditional VDI solutions are many:
