AppSense provides user virtualization technology to enterprise organizations.
User virtualization is way of managing user-specific information independent of the desktop, and applying this information into any desktop (local install, virtualized, published, streamed etc) on-demand. This enables IT to standardize the desktop build, automate desktop and application delivery, and migrate users to new desktops all while ensuring the user experience is seamless, personal, predictable and easily manageable.
This three-layer desktop model (OS, apps, user) provides economies of scale, as well as a more flexible, agile desktop estate. AppSense has been optimizing the desktop user experience for over ten years, and has developed the technology, experience and operational capacity to offer a solution to what has been to date the most challenging yet important aspect of the desktop to manage the user.
Darren Antill is the COO of [Appsense](/company/appsense). Prior to AppSense, Antill was CEO of specialist virtualization integrator Vistorm, where he led the company to record revenues and oversaw the business through its acquisition by EDS and subsequent transition to HP.
During his seven years at Vistorm, Antill was responsible for its sales and services business, building strategic vendor relationships and developing strong channel.
