Ø FSLogix
specializes in solving common challenges seen in virtual desktop environments
when deploying Office 365 and non-persistent desktops
Ø FSL
was in initial days focused on tech called Cloaking for application management
in Windows world (turn on and off individual applications)
Ø One
use case of Cloaking is that you can build a single base Windows image that
actually has all your apps in it
& you can use that single base image for all your users. Depending on the
rights of the user when they log in, the cloaking software will automatically
hide and un-hide the right combination of apps the user needs, it works for
both physical and VDI
Ø To
enable cloaking FSL has File System Filter Driver, which is managed by a set of
rules that you configure via the FSLogix Apps RuleEditor
Ø To
address the problem of Large windows base Image FSL created App Containers,
which is similar to what AppVolumes is doing
Ø App
Container is used in something that FSL call Profile Containers. By creating a
VHD for each user’s profile with FSL’s Profile Migration Utility, one can
connect to Outlook OST files solving the issue of OST caching and the behavior
of Outlook in online mode when used with Office 365
Ø The
way FSL interacts with the VHD you only have to open up one SMB connection to
the VHD, rather than mounting it as a sort of network drive.
