Scenario: As a company, you are not allowed to make changes directly to any production environment. As such, you must implement a pilot testing methodology that allows a progression of testing environments for different groups to approve changes before those changes are promoted to production. How do you accomplish this with Frame?

This blog series centers around Frame Image Management. Image Management is “How do I set up my environment in the most optimal way, to minimize the number of images I have to manage?” Part 1 of this series covered how to onboard and configure SaaS applications. Part 2 covered how to install persistent applications into a non-persistent workload. Part 3 covered how to preconfigure user-specific settings for all users from the Sandbox. This blog post will cover another common virtual desktop use case, how to implement a pilot testing methodology using Frame. Due to the nature of persistent vs non-persistent Frame accounts, this post will cover this process from a non-persistent perspective.

In the first part of this blog series, we introduced Frame's new Application Mode, "App Mode 2.0," highlighting its dynamic nature and the possibility of customizing user interfaces for individual remote applications. We walked through Launchpads, defined their purpose, and elaborated on the key differences between them and Application Mode. We also provided an overview of some of the main features of App Mode 2.0 including customization of the Frame taskbar and Start menu.

In this follow-up post, we will delve deeper into the customization process, demonstrating how you can override the default layout and applications list for the Frame taskbar and how you can utilize this feature to significantly enhance end-user experiences.

This collaboration aims to help financial services clients improve operational resiliency while addressing security and regulatory compliance requirements. Dizzion's Digital Workspaces provides virtualized desktops and applications to employees anywhere with IBM Cloud infrastructure and using VMware's Horizon technology.

Denver, Colo., August 21, 2023 - Today, Dizzion announced the release of Dizzion's new Digital Workspaces for Financial Services available on IBM Cloud for Financial Services. With IBM's built-in security and compliance capabilities, third-party partners, institutions, and vendors can protect sensitive systems and data and unlock the modern workforce to create flexibility in how and where they engage hybrid, distributed, and third and fourth-party teams.

Dizzion has been delivering virtualized Digital Workspaces for over a decade, and we've seen first-hand that adoption rates for Digital Workspaces continue to rise, especially post pandemic. When we think about the drivers behind this, we can't help but think it has A LOT to do with the ever-increasing ability of the technology to meet the performance needs of a wider range of workloads. A few years ago, Digital Workspaces were widely considered only well suited to a few simple use cases, but today, there are numerous organizations using Digital Workspaces to serve their entire workforce, from CEO on down. There's a lot that contributes to the increase in Digital Workspace performance over the years - some of it has to do with software manufacturers improving protocols, platforms and adding features. But there is still a lot to be said for the way in which the underlying components are configured by a Digital Workspace service provider (or an IT department). Huge performance gains can be seen by ensuring that you're paying attention to some basic best practices that impact performance, four of which we've detailed in this blog post. If you're not doing these four things, your Digital Workspace environment(s) definitely aren't performing as well as they could be.

In previous blog posts, we talked about optimizations as they related to the Windows Operating System, including Active Setup, the Microsoft Store, Services & Scheduled Tasks, and more.

The focus of this blog series will be Application Optimizations. We started this series with our Introduction to Application Optimization, which showcases common items to look for when it comes to Application Optimization. We followed up with Application Optimization Essentials: Google Chrome, then soldiered on with Application Optimization Essentials: Microsoft Edge, before rounding out the most common browsers with Application Optimization Essentials: Mozilla Firefox. We then switched to a different type of application next, Adobe Acrobat Reader. This blog will deep dive into a common application, and one that is generally forced on you whether you like it or not, Microsoft OneDrive.

Scenario: As an administrator, you are providing applications to your users through Frame’s desktop experience, application experience or any hybrid of both. Some of these applications are client-server applications and have input requirements on a per-user basis, such as server name, etc. You want to remove the extra complexity of manually entering this information from your end users experience. With Frame, how can you accomplish this?
