Fresh out of Citrix Synergy 2016 we had the pleasure to catch up with our good friend Kevin Goodman, founder and CEO of FSlogix.
FSLogix came out with huge news announcing their latest project, Flux! For those not in the know, Flux from FSLogix will containerise a users outlook personal data and search in virtual desktop environments, essentially removing the last big hurdle for office 365!
And we’re back! here for a great podcast was a man who needs no introduction, Claudio Rodrigues!
Claudio is an entrepreneur, MVP, CTP, vExpert and has been in the EUC and desktop virtualisation market since it’s inception.
Claudio is a great guy, with an “always honest” opinion on all matters and he was a great guest we’d be attempting to get on for some time!
Back once again, catching up on the latest movements in the EUC and Virtualisation space with our esteemed panel of Kees Baggerman and Thomas Brown.
On this episode, we discussed the following topics:

In todays podcast, we sat down and had a chat with Jason E. Smith from Liquidware labs on the topic of UEM and Application layering. Unless you’ve been under a rock, in a dark quiet cave, you’ll know how many vendors are pushing hard on their application layering technologies this year to simplify your application deployment in desktops.
With this podcast, we looked at how a UEM and Application Layering solution

A great new product was released, relatively quietly into the VMware Horizon stack late last year and that was the VMware Horizon Access Point. If you’re not familiar with the Access point, this is a stateless appliance you can deploy in a Horizon environment replacing the VMware security server.
Jarian and I tested this appliance and we were very intrigued! So we reached out to Mark Benson, EUC CTO office in VMware and he thankfully agreed to record a podcast with us on the background to this Access Point technology and it’s roadmap.
On this podcast, we had the great pleasure to speak with Mark about the following topics:
the podcast is a fascinating insight into how the production ready appliance was developed and why, a big thank you to Mark for taking the time to speak with us.
As promised, here you’ll find some good documentation and tools for the access point:

And the opinionated four are back! We missed January due to Andrew’s manflu.
In this podcast, we run down the news and moves in the last two months and discuss them with the usual cynicism and sarcasm you’ve come to expect!
The podcast covers off the following topics:
Back again, we are! Fresh out of Citrix Summit and into a fascinating podcast with none other than Ron Oglesby from Unidesk. Unidesk had some really interesting announcements in the last fortnight extending their layering technology in PVS, Azure and architecture changes to really simplify the product.
In this podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ron about the following topics:
It was a real pleasure to record with Ron, if you’ve not checked out Unidesk before, go check it out.

And we’re back again!
The “quartet of nonsense and cynicism” is back (in the shape of Kees Baggerman, Thomas Brown, Jarian Gibson and the always out spoken Andrew Morgan) to discuss “Last Year in EUC”.
“last year in EUC you say?”. So yeah, very little happened in EUC in December, sure Citrix did it’s best to post 7.7 to keep investors happy and VMware quietly ignored the fact that Enzo was supposed to be ready, damn it man, I want JIT! Anywho, with most people entering a booze fuelled fog from the second week in December and only coming up for air in the January, you’ll excuse us for instead focusing on 2015 rather than the silly season!
In this special episode of This Month in EUC, we focused on the core announcements of 2015 and what to look forward to next year. In this podcast we discussed:
And thats it, we’ll be back very soon with Citrix Summit just around the corner I’m sure we’ll have an announcement or two to dissect.

And we’re back again, reviewing all the good and interesting news that has occurred in the market in the past month in bite sized hourly format!
This month, we’re again joined by our resident VMware EUC Expert Thomas Brown and our good Friend Kees Baggerman from Nutanix to discuss this months news and movements.

With thanks to our awesome sponsor ControlUp, we had the pleasure of attending VMworld 2015 in barcelona this week. Now that the dust has settled and the coolaid has been drunk (never drink and blog) here I’ve summized a few points from the week.
VMworld is always such a huge machine to EUC people, almost daunting at times and that’s never clearer than when talking to other techies who have no clue about EUC in general, VMware really is a beast in that regard, but i’m only two paragraphs and I’ve already digressed. This VMworld has had a really good portion of EUC focus, all sessions on the topics from roadmap, futures and graphics were completely booked out and things are really moving forward. I was a little disappointed not to see more EUC vendors, but knowing that VMware have an entry level answer to UEM and (in a lot of cases) a better answer to application layering, maybe there’s a little “cutting off nose in spite of face…” from the hurt feels.
