Frame DaaS provides an array of features and tools to give customers flexibility around customizing end-user experiences. Providing a user interface (UI) for individual remote applications in a controlled manner is essential for many organizations' workflows. Leveraging this approach eliminates the excessive and unnecessary UI/UX elements of a full operating system, which is why Frame provides customers with two distinct “modes” for how an end-user interacts with their remote Windows applications: Desktop Mode, and Application Mode.

In this blog post, we will focus on the newly improved Application Mode feature and how you can customize the user interface while making the experience as tailored and dynamic as possible. This two-part series starts with a brief introduction (this post) and then moves on to a more technical example of how to customize the end-user experience dynamically (part two).

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. This blog will deep dive into another common application Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Scenario: As a customer, you want to simplify your image management overhead by providing non-persistent Desktop Experience workloads to your users, but some users require access to non-standard applications that you don’t want to put into the base non-persistent image, nor provide via an Application Experience from another Frame Account, nor provide via a persistent workload. How do you accomplish this with Frame?

Frame and OVHcloud's partnership brings together OVHcloud's top-notch infrastructure services, Nutanix AHV/AOS/hyperconverged infrastructure, and Frame Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solutions. The combination makes it easy and quick to set up modern infrastructure solutions when needed and use that cloud infrastructure to deliver virtual applications and desktops using Frame. OVHcloud provides customers high-performance, affordable solutions to help manage, secure, and grow infrastructure as needed without customers needing to manage the HCI infrastructure themselves.

In this blog, we will show you how Frame customers can utilize the power of both OVHcloud and AHV platform to deliver highly secure and cost effective Desktop as a Service solutions in just a few hours.

Dizzion, a leading provider of Desktop as a Service (DaaS) and Composable Digital Workspaces, announced the closing of the acquisition of the Frame business unit from Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX). Combining Dizzion with Frame will create one of the largest independent DaaS companies, with industry-leading service capabilities delivered globally.

Through this transaction, both Dizzion and Nutanix customers alike will benefit from Dizzion's global capabilities in end-to-end design, deployment, Managed DaaS, Compliance Services (PCI, HIPAA, SOC and GDPR) and greater flexibility and choice with combined delivery options across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud and customer provided Nutanix infrastructure.

We are excited to announce that Frame and Dizzion, both pioneers and leaders in the Desktop as a Service (DaaS) market, are joining forces to become one company. Frame Platform, Inc., previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Nutanix, was acquired by LLR Partners, a leading growth equity investor that acquired Dizzion Inc. in 2021. Merging both companies together results in one of the largest independent providers focused on DaaS and Composable Digital Workspaces.

The Nutanix Frame platform offers customers the option to create multiple user interfaces through the use of Frame Launchpads. These Launchpads allow customers to customize their environment and create custom apps that are tailored to specific end users and workflows. Each account can have multiple Launchpads to cater to different use cases and workloads (Read more about Frame Launchpads here).

We can further customize a user's experience by using PowerShell scripts to modify the remote Windows environment. These scripts can be used to automate tasks and customize the appearance and functionality of the user interface. These scripts are called FGA Scripts (More about FGA Scripts).
