Welcome to OpDesk Resource, Application and System Management, an application virtualization and application streaming solution.

Application Management Simplified Application Distribution Designed from the ground up to withstand server and infrastructure outages Agents never communicate directly with the server or database All applications and taks are delivered via simple file shares and DFS This gives the control back to the local administrator to maintain
and diagnosis most problems on site or in the cloud Since our agents only communicate with file shares, the need for back end
infrastructure is greatly diminished! IIS and Windows Services
Server and Database Distribution Point
(File Share) Collection Point
(File Share) Workstations Workstations receive application policies and managment tasks from
distribution points and send agent activity and status back to the server
though collection points. Read More Application Streaming Streaming applications greatly improves install
times and reduced network traffic Most existing streaming products rely on a heavy
backend streaming server The OpDesk streaming solution relies on simple
file shares and a pre cache that is consumed by
the agent leaving the backend alone. All Windows applications read the entire
executable file and all its statically linked DLL files.
This makes most of our competitor's block based
streaming solutions unnecessary. Streaming at a file by file basis is both simplier
and more efficient than block based streaming. Read More Application Packaging The OpDesk Packager monitors all file and registry
activity an installer performs while installing an
application. All files copied during the install are added to a new
.OPK package that can then be uploaded to our
backed server or installed on a workstation that
has installed our agent. All registry settings that have been modified
during the install will also get included with the
.OPK package. Once the package has been created you can
manually modify any file or registry setting right in
the packager. Read More Application Virtualization Read More When an application is launched it asks the operating
system for various files and registry settings. Normally
these pieces of data live on the local hard disk and the
registry. When an application is "virtualized" the physical files
and registry settings actually live in a "redirect" area
on the same or different hard disk or even on a server. Virtualization software essentially tricks the operating
system and the application into thinking the files and
registry settings are installed in their normal location. Different vendors do slightly different things to create
the redirction area. Please click "Read More" for more
information on the pros and cons of each and how we
believe we have an even better approach to implementing
this valuable technology.

Features

Application Provisioning

Application packaging and distribution is a core feature organizations need to avoid having to install each application on each workstation manually one at a time.

Application Virtualization

Using our own version of Application Virtualization, we can install and run multiple versions of the same application at the same time. This allows you to run applications like Shockwave or Java (JRE) while completely isolated from other system processes.

Application Streaming

Our unique Just in Time installer only installs application files and registry data as the running process needs them from a simple network share. This dramatically improves the speed of most application installations while at the same time reducing the required network traffic.

Web Console Tour

All of our services can be purchased as a stand alone agent or with our backend management web console.
