Viewfinity Loads Systems Management To The Cloud For Remote Users

Start-up company Viewfinity has announced the release of version 2.5 of their cloud-based systems and privilege-management product. The management solutions use a technique called application encapsulation to maintain the integrity of the end-user desktop, as well as enabling quick rollback of user changes. Starting as a free product for up to 50 machines, Viewfinity brings software deployment and policy management to enterprise clients, no matter where they are located. According to Viewfinity, the encapsulation process separates the application and the user's Windows settings from the operating system itself. Using Viewfinity's system driver layer, encapsulation can be applied to applications already installed on the system, as well as any new applications deployed to the client. Viewfinity suggests that by separating the applications from the host operating system, its solution can eliminate both the clutter associated with disparate applications and the problems arising from incompatible applications on the same machine.
