PRESS RELEASE
Company: Marcorp IT Professionals
Product: ManagedProfileÓ
Contact: E-mail: info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Telephone: 27 21 7625202

Release: Immediate
Problems with User Profiles Overcome
Managing user profiles in a distributed environment has always been
troublesome for IT managers. On the one hand profiles are not important
enough to warrant excessive expenditure on tools and the effort to manage
them, while on the other hand they are important enough that if not managed
efficiently they can impact negatively on both the usability and management
of a workstation.
The problem has been further exacerbated in Server Based Computing
environments where horizontal application deployment has created additional
problems for managing user profiles and the settings they contain. An
example of this is Citrix's Terminal Server solution which allows different
applications to be published from different physical servers.
Horizontal application deployment implies that applications for a single
user can potentially be sourced from different physical servers. In such a
case a single user may access an application from different physical
servers. Therefore, every application launched potentially results in the
starting of another user session on a different physical server. The problem
arises when a user has sessions on more than one physical server - the user
profile and settings that persist are those associated with the last session
to terminate. Unfortunately there is not an alternative in the Microsoft
profile model for this particular scenario which means that some sort of
profile management tool is required to fill the gap.
ManagedProfileÓ was developed initially to address the issue of overwritten
profile settings in a Terminal Server / Citrix environment but has been
expanded to include functionality that encompasses the broader scope of user
profile management in other environments as well.
During the last year and a half, ManagedProfileÓ has undergone thorough
testing in two major organisations (a petrochemical corporation and a large
packaging manufacturer). As a result of this testing, it is now able to
provide organizations operating in a Server Based Computing environment with
a tool that is easy to install, robust and simple to use, resulting in
substantially improved efficiencies and service delivery while reducing
overhead expenditure. Tailored solutions can also be readily accommodated to
provide additional functionality for any organization's unique requirements.
The current version of ManagedProfileÓ requires MS SQL Server 6.5 or greater
and Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 or higher. Subsequent versions
of the product will provide support for other databases and HTTP servers.
Besides these system requirements, ManagedProfileÓ does not require any
other specific hardware or software over and above those required to run the
operating system.
Marcorp IT Professionals, the developers of the system, have been designing
and implementing systems management solutions for large organisations since
1992. More information on their Managed Profile product and the latest
demonstration versions can be obtained from their website at
www.managedprofile.com.
