Giving users the applications they need is vital to ensure success in almost every modern
business. But the inefficiencies from globalization, server management, and constant
technology updates can raise costs and frustrate users. Today’s business reality is one of
constant change – IT infrastructure demands a rapid response to change.
The user challenge >Various users with different profiles (employees, customers, partners, suppliers) need
secure, easy access to applications and data based on a range of criteria such as location,
terminal device and access rights.
The application challenge >Various types of application (stand-alone, client-server, hosts, web) must be delivered
through different technologies (local installation, centralized or streamed).
The server infrastructure challenge >Various server types (Windows Terminal Server, Citrix Presentation Server, web server,
hosted desktops, standard server) make applications and services available to clients
using a range of communication technologies.
The visionapp products enable effective and cost-efficient management of all these aspects
based on standardized processes, providing:

Editions and product
positioning of vWM and
vSM 2008
Products designed to meet
all challenges
vADM has two components:
> visionapp Workspace Management 2008
(vWM)
> visionapp Server Management 2008
(vSM)
Each of these are available with standard,
advanced and enterprise functionality (see
figure below). In flexibly selecting, combin-
ing and expanding the available functions of
these applications, vADM can be tailored to
changing requirements, providing outstand-
ing investment protection.
Reliable infrastructure with
High Availability
With a full audit trail, ITIL support and auto-
mation of operational processes, vSM en-
sures a secure structure and High Availability
operation of Windows-based server infra-
structures in computer centers, even across
multiple-site corporate networks. vWM’s
scalable architecture provides secure, High
Availability access to applications for an un-
limited number of users.
Flexible, user-friendly
application delivery
vWM provides employees, customers,
suppliers and partners with a standardized,
reliable access to applications, irrespective
of their location, terminal device, type of
application or user group. To maximize data
security, access can be controlled based on
these and other factors.
Responsive, cost-efficient
management
The central, automated administration of the
two components of vADM provides efficient
management of all aspects of the application
delivery infrastructure. vSM allows fast,
company-wide introduction of new applications,
while vWM controls access to the applications
for defined users and user groups.
Supporting business processes
Value add is determined not so much by the
technology used as by the effective employ-
ment of the application by its users. vWM
and vSM provide administration support for
the entire range of available application de-
livery technologies.
vWM 2008
Centralized, consistent
User Workspace and
Application Access Management
Benefits of vWM
Cost-efficiency through >standardization and central management
Central administration >of application portfolios
Access security >through authentication and user profiles
Fast application >delivery for various user groups
Multi-client and >multilingual capability
High scalability and >fail safety
Flexible location- >independent IT work-station
Standardized user access – reliable, consistent, intuitive and comprehensive
visionapp Workspace Management provides effective administration and
deployment of corporate applications to a range of user groups.
The growing trend towards flexible workplaces,
increasing user mobility and many basic
technologies call for an ever more efficient
yet secure application delivery for various
user groups.
Through a browser-based desktop, visionapp
Workspace Management provides standardized
access to all common business applications
through a central management capability.
The separation of application access and
technical deployment methods enhances the
flexibility: New user groups, partners and
customers as well as additional locations,
can be added without increasing administra-
tive expenses or compromising data security.
vWM’s system architecture provides the
perfect foundation for establishing a highly
available application deployment infrastruc-
ture. In combination with a range of user
profiles, the integration of common authenti-
cation methods with a proven track record in
the banking sector provides optimum access
protection.
From the users’ perspective, vWM provides
consistent and transparent access to all
required applications. Through the configu-
rable user interface, users can create their
own personal access page while still receiving
important, centrally distributed information
and access to the required applications.
With these capabilities, vWM provides com-
prehensive application access management
across all sites and business areas without
compromising response times, flexibility or
cost-efficiency.
vSM 2008
ITIL-based operation and
management of applications
and infrastructure
Benefits of vSM
Standardization and >complexity reduction
Efficiency through >automated operational processes
Flexible and highly >available infrastructure
Easy integration into the >existing infrastructure
Rugged, scalable >system architecture
Release management >and complete audit trail
Support for ITIL >processes
The increasing centralization of IT and the
deployment of Windows applications in busi-
nesses can stretch available administration
resources to the limit. The dynamic nature of
IT-supported processes – such as the world-
wide introduction of new applications – results
in a rapid rate of change.
visionapp Server Management provides
efficient administration of all types of Windows-
based server infrastructures through a central
user interface, especially those used for
application virtualization.
Standardizing operational processes and
supporting ITIL, vSM ensures a stable,
environment with a full audit trail. Changes
remain tracable and have the same result
even if the administration personnel changes.
Additional automation of the operational
tasks contribute to a fast reaction time for
system expansion or changes and minimizes
the time needed for Disaster Recovery.
The basic approach taken with vSM of build-
ing up server infrastructures from separate,
reusable modules ensures an infrastructure
with the greatest possible homogeneity.
Especially where changes occur with an in-
creasing frequency, this results in significant
cost savings.
vSM provides all the required features to
maintain a stable, highly available Windows
server infrastructure while ensuring high
performance and maximizing cost efficiency.
Use visionapp Server Management to implement standardization, automation
and availability for Microsoft and Citrix-based servers.
Controlled application delivery infrastructure for stability, security, availability and efficiency
Use Cases
A solution for every
challenge
Use visionapp products to get a competitive edge
The demands made on an application delivery infrastructure are many and
challenging. With the visionapp Application Delivery Management Suite, the
infrastructure will meet the needs of enterprise-specific conditions.
This will help pave the way for a future roadmap and will bring a tremendous
advantage to the entire organization.
Boost IT efficiency and availability
The secure, problem-free delivery of appli-
cations for users will work reliably as long as
no changes are made. To stay ahead of the
game, changes are constantly needed. The
vADM management tool provides the capa-
bilities for an effective administration of user
access rights as well as the central applica-
tion infrastructure. The standardization and
automation of operational processes ensures
maximum flexibility for a cost-effective and
High Availability IT operation.
Provide mobile users and new
locations with access
Some employees work from home, others
work in the field and – as the enterprise
grows – new locations are opened. To ensure
a continued high level of productivity without
obstructing growth through technical hurdles
or risking an explosion of administrative costs,
the technological foundation must be firm
yet flexible. vADM provides the growing user
base with access to the required applications
quickly, flexibly and independent of location.
Disaster Recovery and maintenance
of business operations
More than ever before, no business can get
by without application access. Disaster Re-
covery and other preventive measures are
essential, and vADM will give the quickest
way to duplicate the environment. Featuring
comprehensive logging, ITIL process support,
terminal and mobile application access, and
worry-free administration of multiple com-
puter centers, vADM provides everything
needed to implement an infrastructure that
supports Disaster Recovery.
Make the next merger as smooth
as possible
Experts from the Harvard Business Review
state that the world’s best companies have
learned that growing through M&A activity
is cheaper, faster, and more innovative than
growing organically. To ensure the success
of an acquisition, it is essential to make
available the applications, processes, and
files that get new users up to speed so they
can contribute quickly and efficiently. vADM
will provide the tools needed to expand the
user portfolio smoothly and rapidly, deliv-
ering a range of applications to user groups
across multiple locations.
