The Microsoft Desktop Optimisation Pack uses innovative technologies to help reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the Windows desktop by accelerating operating system and application management and enhancing IT responsiveness and end-user uptime. With these technologies, organisations can increase their control of the desktop, accelerate and simplify desktop deployments and management, and create a dynamic infrastructure by turning software into a centrally managed service.
The Microsoft Desktop Optimisation Pack includes:
Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualisation enables organisations to deploy software applications that are never installed to minimise regression testing, yet follow users anywhere, on demand. It turns Windows applications into centrally managed virtual services that are delivered to any desktop or laptop client worldwide and can also be integrated and managed within Microsoft System Center.
Microsoft Asset Inventory Service reduces application management lifecycle TCO through advanced software inventory scanning and by translating inventory data for more than 430,000 titles into useful, admin-friendly information. The tool is an easily administered, hosted service with no client installation.
Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management helps IT take control of the desktop through effective change management and roll-backs via Group Policy Objects (GPOs) and a robust role-based administration and delegation model.
Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset allows you to quickly repair unbootable or locked-out systems, restore lost data, remove malware from infected systems while the system is safely offline using existing antivirus software, and diagnose system and network issues.
