Tranxition Introduces Desktop Management Solution for Virtual Environments

LiveManage for Virtual Migrations Cuts Virtual Desktop Implementation Costs and
Increases User Productivity by Automating the Migration of User Environments and
Desktop Personalities
BEAVERTON, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Tranxition, provider of market-leading user environment and desktop personality
management solutions, today announced general availability of LiveManage for
Virtual Migrations 7.0. LiveManage has been deployed worldwide by companies such
as United Airlines, Kaiser Permanente, BAE, and the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA.) The new seventh generation product builds on
LiveManage`s existing ability to preserve, protect and transport desktop
personality, adding new capabilities, documented processes, and licensing
specifically for virtual desktop implementations - regardless of virtual
infrastructure. LiveManage for Virtual Migrations enables automated, intelligent
abstraction of all essential user customizations from traditional desktops and
migration to new virtual images, transporting what is needed and nothing more.

"When adopting desktop virtualization, many organizations fail to size up what
they need in order to get the cost savings they expect, therefore often failing
to receive all the benefits that desktop virtualization has to offer," said Dan
Olds, founder and principal analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group. "LiveManage is
a solution that reduces user migration time from hours to minutes while
decreasing the costs associated with virtual desktop management and low user
adoption, allowing organizations to experience greater ROI from desktop
virtualization projects."

LiveManage decreases the cost of managing desktops by securely extracting and
transferring the desktop personality which includes application customizations,
metadata, templates, connectivity data, custom dictionaries, data files, and
customizations beyond those saved in Windows Profiles. With the increasing
interest in desktop virtualization, intelligent migration of the user
environment from physical to virtual desktops is critical to cost effective
implementations and user acceptance.

Even virtual desktop environments can become complex, so for real world
scenarios this demands a high degree of flexibility from tools and processes to
keep the overall desktop management from also becoming complex. To this end,
LiveManage for Virtual Migrations 7.0 supports common virtual desktop scenarios,
translation of settings between Windows OS and common application versions, and
simple integration with common management frameworks. Tranxition works closely
with desktop management solution and service partners such as HP, BMC,
FrontRange, ITG, Wyle Information Systems and others to ensure businesses can
easily take advantage of existing and custom integrations as well as best
practices.

LiveManage for Virtual Migrations is an easy-to-use software solution that
benefits organizations by:

* Cutting Migration Costs by a Factor of 10 - automating and simplifying desktop
personality migration LiveManage decreases implementation time and
post-migration help desk calls.
* Enabling IT to Optimize Desktops - untangling and abstracting end user
customization away from the OS and applications so new virtual desktops can be
template based and personalized.
* Increasing User Acceptance - ensuring all essential configurations and
customizations are captured and migrated, LiveManage also translates settings
from XP/Office 2003 to Vista/Office 2007 as well as other common business
applications.
* Increasing User Efficiency -providing a familiar working platform for the end
user with their personal desktop environment consistent and readily available.
* Decreasing IT Spending - providing an extremely affordable solution for
maximized ROI for VDI and hosted virtual desktops projects.

"Organizations can run into several challenges while implementing virtual
desktop solutions, and based on our extensive experience having deployed
millions of seats, we know that transferring the user environment can be a major
pain point. With the desktop virtualization market expected to triple in 2009,
this problem is only going to increase," said Amy Hodler, director of product
management at Tranxition. "LiveManage for Virtual Migrations eliminates this
pain point and allows organizations to decrease migration costs and increase
employee productivity - helping them experience the ROI of desktop
virtualization faster than ever before."
