Subject: [THIN] Re: RES PowerFuse
Hi all,
It seems that there are misunderstandings what PowerFuse can do so let
me explain in more detail what PowerFuse is about. For those who want to
jump to the website and find out without reading this whole email;
www.res.nl . (or for those who don't care just stop reading)
PowerFuse is an Application Management Framework that in its current
release uses its own desktop instead of using the NT explorer for the
desktop. However in the new release the standard NT desktop can be used.
The main reason for developing it this way in 1997 where the security
leaks within the explorer itself.
PowerFuse works with .Net, Citrix Metaframe (all versions) or Terminal
Server (All Versions) and also integrates with Published applications,
NFuse or NFuse Elite so there is no reason not to use PowerFuse if you
are not planning to publish a full desktop.
To secure, control and manage your whole environment, PowerFuse uses a
central management console like the MMC to let you manage and control
all settings in you farm very easy.
PowerFuse can be best broken down in 6 steps:
1. Application Access Management
- Active Directory (OU Membership)
- NT Group Membership=20
- Per user
- Delegated to an Application Manager (Departmental Manager)
- Geographical location (PowerZones)
2. Configuration Management (All configurable on the above 5 levels or
even on language setting)
- Policies
- Registries
- Mappings
- Printer Connections (The printer follows the user!)
- User Home Drive
- Substitutes
- Variables
3. Security Management
- Locks down the whole environment by default and you only have
to administer the exceptions. Nothing can be opened/executed unless
specific access to applications or files has been granted. Email
attachments, downloads etc are blocked by AppGuard. AppGuard even has a
learning mode for new implementations or new installed apps in a life
environment. Violations will be recorded and reported to the IS
department in email (SMTP)
4. Performance Management
- CPU Shield - dynamic control of CPU utilization based upon 4
threshold parameters you can configure. No more unstable and
unresponsive sessions.=20
- PowerLoad let you configure the amount of applications a user
can open at the same time and even instances per application can be
limited.
- Access Balancing prevent system performance to drop to a
critical load during multiple logins. (Morning login peak or after
system breakdown with failover)
5. Monitoring & License Management
- Keep track of all application licenses, usage, costs and
license type
- Keep track of user logins, CPU loads, Memory loads, Critical
loads, Sessions
- Graphical representations and filters for all the above
=20
6. Managed Flexibility=20
- Dynamic Multi language Support
- Integration with Local applications in the central published
desktop (Subscribed Applications)
To download the Technical Leaflet go to http://www.res.nl I also will
ask Jim if he can post it on the Thin to.
If anyone has any questions feel free to call or write me.
Best regards,
