Cologne, 04 September 2007 ? The user profile management solution sepagoPROFILE not only optimizes Citrix environments, but is now also available for desktop and VDI scenarios. This makes sepago the first to present a solution for complete user profile management.

User profiles in Citrix and Terminal Server environments are subject to special requirements. As users are guided to a variety of computer resources in the server farm, user profiles must follow the users. Conventionally, this is achieved through server-side profiles. The drawback: If one user runs multiple sessions on various servers within the farm, these profiles may overwrite each other. For the user, this leads to corrupted profiles and incomprehensible effects. The productivity of the user decreases while the support effort increases.

sepago now offers a solution to this problem. The highly developed sepagoPROFILE management software for user profiles only saves those contents from each user session in the central user profile that have actually been changed. This excludes an overwriting of older settings. In addition, sepagoPROFILE's special functionality ensures significantly reduced login and logout times at Citrix and terminal servers. Version 1.5 of sepagoPROFILE can now also be used by rich clients.

sepagoPROFILE - now also equipped for desktop and VDI scenarios

Considering the vision of leading software manufacturers on what has become known as desktop delivery, it becomes apparent that the IT workplace will increasingly be provided virtually in the future. In this scenario, the user does not care on which device the application runs. Various virtualization techniques facilitate a redirection to the matching device. Products from Microsoft, Citrix, or VMware take care of assigning the optimal computing resource to the user for the task at hand. This is where sepagoPROFILE shows its strength via an efficient user profile management. With fast login and logout times as well as a simplified profile management, it ensures that the IT environment meets its performance requirements.

Last but not least, sepagoPROFILE is able to provide user settings of streamed applications across different platforms. This permits the provision of desktop in a modular fashion across different operating system and application platforms. "sepagoPROFILE user profiles management is fast, robust, and convenient - an important prerequisite for the virtualization of application provisioning," says Paul Luetke Wissing, CEO of sepago, assessing the software.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ? WorldExtendŽ, the remote access and network security specialist, today announced that its SecureIDA? free managed VPN and secure remote access service has received a strong endorsement from DABCC President and server-based computing expert, Douglas Brown. Brown praised SecureIDA for its simplicity, security, and ability to provide businesses and IT professionals with cost-effective Citrix-style functionality. Brown commented that, ?SecureIDA is not just another traditional ?Go to my PC? solution, but one that gives me, as the administrator of my network, the ability to publish applications and desktops and then assign users to those newly-created resources, as you do in a Citrix world, but without the need for expensive dedicated hardware and software.?

?I'm a huge fan of a simple solution to complex problems and WorldExtend?s SecureIDA is just that,? noted Douglas Brown, President & Chief Technology Officer, DABCC, Inc. ?Simply put, SecureIDA is not just another Citrix alternative but due to its architecture it is a very cost-effective solution that allows you to quickly and easily gain access to the resources you need, no matter where they reside,? Brown continued. ?I recommend you give it a shot.?

Brown?s review at www.dabcc.com/secureida, explains that he, his staff, and contractors needed a simple and secure way to connect to all applications, servers, and files across DABCC?s entire working environment (including a remote web server hosted by a different company). As Brown only needed access to a few applications and desktops it was too expensive to install a Citrix environment which necessitates purchasing software as well as additional hardware and server maintenance. And, as Microsoft?s Remote Desktop capabilities (RDP) meant opening the RPD port on the firewall he felt it could possibly harm network security by opening a potential point of entry for any hacker.

WorldExtend?s new SecureIDA managed service proved the ideal solution. Brown explained that installation was simple thanks to an extremely-simple wizard which installs an agent on a single Windows device within the network. Then, a user simply points their Microsoft Internet Explorer browser to a unique address and logs in to access the configured applications and desktops that are delivered via a clean, easy to understand portal with icons. Brown was so impressed that he now utilizes SecureIDA at DABCC, and highly recommends the technology to others.

?I'm a huge fan of a simple solution to complex problems and WorldExtend's SecureIDA is just that,? said Brown. ?The first two connections are free, so visit http://www.secureida.com today and try it for yourself,? Brown continued. ?I think you will find it as easy and powerful as I did.?

?WorldExtend developed SecureIDA to make it simple and affordable for any sized organization to benefit from the productivity advantages of secure centralized remote network access,? said Bruce LeBuhn, Director Marketing & Sales, WorldExtend, LLC. ?So, it makes us extremely proud that a highly-respected server-based computing expert like Douglas Brown recognizes that SecureIDA is not just another go to my PC solution,? LeBuhn continued. ?The SecureIDA platform enables our fast-growing user community to deliver productivity-enhancing remote computing access to employees or business partners with an ease of use and administration, level of security and functionality, and price point that has simply not been seen before.?

Downloadable in minutes from www.SecureIDA.com/pr10, and configured via an extremely-simple and intuitive wizard-driven process, SecureIDA enables any organization to set up secure access to data and applications from any location within minutes ? providing the same business agility and related productivity gains previously available only to large enterprises. SecureIDA is the only service that includes free VPN and free remote desktop access as part of a complete end-to-end remote access solution.

SecureIDA?s intuitive software-based platform makes it simple for an organization?s employees, branch offices, suppliers, or even customers to gain simple, secure, and unlimited free remote access to shared data, such as network file folders or client server applications. Offering far greater functionality and security than other remote access services, such as GoToMyPC, SecureIDA provides free secure access to one Microsoft Windows XP Pro or Linux desktop computer for an unlimited time. The free service can also be utilized to securely share files among peers, partners or suppliers, enhance the security of client/server applications, such as e-mail or billing, while the fee-based SecureIDA Application Portal provides a far-less-costly alternative to Citrix Systems? application publishing solution (making this productive functionality available to any-sized company).

WorldExtend?s vision for SecureIDA includes making it simple for customers to add additional fee-based, value-added services and enhancements that are customized to their business needs. WorldExtend?s initial fee-based services include full maintenance and technical support (including a number of advanced features and functionality and access to an additional 25 PCs) and application publishing through their Application Portal, and on-net Zero-Port technology that provides enhanced security and ease of use.
