Liquidware, the leader in digital workspace management solutions to the federal government and all major verticals, has recently achieved the prestigious ISO 27001 certification. This adds to our existing certifications in SOC2 Type II and GDPR compliance. We take great pride in this accomplishment, particularly as a sub-100-person company, and attribute our success to the dedication and hard work of our small IT team.

We understand that achieving and maintaining compliance can be challenging for a small team. To address this, we utilized a product designed to help us stay compliant. This tool connects to all our systems in read-only mode, scanning for any compliance issues. It has been instrumental in identifying compliance drift and creating tasks for our teams to address, allowing us to stay in line with compliance requirements in-between audits. This proactive approach prevents the last-minute scramble often experienced before manual audits.

Liquidware has always placed a high priority on compliance and security, as we provide digital workspace management solutions to the federal government and major verticals such as healthcare and finance. Our ISO 27001 certification not only helps ensure the security of our employees’ and customers’ information but also promotes the secure development of our products. Additionally, we maintain stringent controls on our business processes from the top down.

Liquidware’s ISO 27001 certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to security and compliance. Our small but dedicated IT team has made this extraordinary achievement possible, with the help of a compliance tool that simplifies the process of staying compliant. As an ISV serving all major sectors, we will continue to uphold the highest standards of security and compliance to protect our employees, customers, and product development.

Any Desktop, Any Broker, Anywhere: Future-proofing Your Windows Desktop Deployment with Liquidware

Posted on by

The world of Windows desktop deployment has become increasingly complex with so many options available in the market today. From traditional laptops and desktops, to virtual desktops deployed on-premises, or in the cloud using solutions like Amazon WorkSpaces, Amazon AppStream, Nutanix Frame, Citrix Virtual Apps, Microsoft AVD, or Microsoft CloudPC – there are numerous choices to make.

However, choosing a deployment method also means choosing a broker and deciding whether to deploy on-premises or in the cloud. This can lead to vendor lock-in where your users’ profiles might be tied to a specific deployment method, making it difficult to move to another option. Moreover, you may not be able to move your applications from one deployment method to another, and the user experience might not be consistent across different deployment methods.

To address these issues, Liquidware offers a “Switzerland” approach to Windows desktop deployment with its ProfileUnity™, FlexApp™, and Stratusphere™ UX products. With these solutions, you can abstract your user’s profile and application deployment from the underlying OS and platform, making it easier to switch deployment methods without affecting user experience.

ProfileUnity abstracts the user’s profile from the OS with any deployment method, whether physical, virtual, or cloud based. By using ProfileUnity, you can future-proof your deployment options by putting your users under management with your existing deployment method. ProfileUnity’s portability engine ensures that the user’s profile can be saved to any storage medium, including SMB and cloud storage, and restored to any OS, of any version, on any platform.

FlexApp abstracts application deployment from the OS and platform, allowing you to take advantage of fewer images and pools to manage. By abstracting your applications with FlexApp, you can easily move to any new deployment method while keeping the same application delivery model. This ensures that your users have access to the same applications, regardless of the deployment method.

Stratusphere UX helps you monitor user experience on your existing deployment method and ensures that users get the same, or better, experience when you switch to a new deployment method. It continuously monitors your user’s experience to make sure you don’t unknowingly decrease user satisfaction.

In conclusion, with the current state of acquisitions and the evolving end-user computing market, it is essential to future-proof your Windows desktop deployment options. By using Liquidware’s ProfileUnity, FlexApp, and Stratusphere UX products, you can abstract the user’s profile and application deployment from the OS and platform, making it easy to switch deployment methods without affecting user experience. With Liquidware’s solutions, you can ensure that your users have a consistent and seamless experience regardless of the deployment method you choose.
