Microsoft acquires FSLogix
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft has acquired FSLogix, an application provisioning and performance management vendor in Suwanee, Ga. to improve the Office 365 user experience on virtual desktops. The acquisition can help Microsoft compete with cloud desktop offerings, such as Amazon WorkSpaces, and attract more organizations to Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD).
Windows Virtual Desktop enables IT to run virtualized Windows 10 on Azure. FSLogix's technology will allow for faster user profile load times in Office 365 ProPlus on Windows virtual desktops, particularly within the Outlook email application and OneDrive file-sharing service.
The company did not update the status of Windows Virtual Desktop, however, which it had pledged to release into preview by the end of the year. Some customers will want the latest Microsoft acquisition to help improve performance for on-premises deployments of Windows and Office, but that does not seem to be Microsoft's objective.
FSLogix Apps, the company's flagship tool, helps IT simplify app provisioning with a number of features. FSLogix Profile Container isolates and stores user profiles in containers, so IT can manage profiles independently and deliver more resources to users. Office 365 Container extends that capability to Office 365 profiles, and Cloud Cache stores profile containers on premises or in the cloud.
Office 365 can be especially problematic in non-persistent virtual desktop deployments. Searching the Outlook inbox, for example, can hit snags, because the client stores search index on a device-by-device basis. If a user logs into a virtual desktop from different devices, the search index will not follow him. Office 365 customers have also experienced caching problems. The Microsoft acquisition of FSLogix will help with Office 365 performance issues in particular.
