Empower your business with mobile workspaces
Today, we work from many locations and devices. Employees expect to be able to do their jobs outside the office, on the road and on their chosen device.
The mobility requirement has introduced new security and management challenges for your already complex IT environment. There are many potential issues that could impact application performance and availability. Communication, performance and security issues from the data centre to the client device, must be minimised or, better still, mitigated.
Our Application Delivery and Mobility practice solves these challenges by providing you with the architecture, design and deployment of an always on, always connected working environment. All achieved through our comprehensive delivery methodology supported by a portfolio of application delivery and mobility solutions and technologies.
We provide health checks, upgrades and complete project lifecycle services (discover, plan, design, implement, train, support and manage) across our technology partners Citrix, Cloudhouse, Lakeside and Login VSI.

Cloudhouse
Insentra is the exclusive Asia Pacific distributor and professional services delivery partner.
Cloudhouse™ liberates existing Windows client/server applications to run on modern 64-bit operating systems and remote deployment environments, such as cloud, without changes to application code and without impacting end users experience.
As the only certified Cloudhouse consultants in the region, we have the experience in implementing Application Packaging and SQL database acceleration technologies which preserve the full user application experience.
Our capabilities spread across the portfolio of Cloudhouse solutions and supported products:
- Applications Anywhere
Applications Anywhere is a 2nd generation application virtualisation solution with advanced remote management. 1st generation application virtualisation products, usually struggle to virtualize around 30% of Windows applications. Even those that can be virtualized, often suffer reduced functionality as a result.
Applications Anywhere implements lightweight 2nd generation virtualisation technology. It can virtualise ALL Windows applications preserving full application functionality and cross application integration.
With a self-service portal, Applications Anywhere adds remote management and dynamic configuration to reduce the ongoing costs of desktop application management.
- Data Anywhere
Data Anywhere is a distributed WAN Accelerator for database traffic, delivered as an infrastructure software product and providing secure and reliable database WAN acceleration for client/server applications.
Data Anywhere deploys secure client and server components. The client is installed on the user desktop and the server component runs within the data centre hosting the servers. In a simple infrastructure, the Data Anywhere server can be deployed co-resident with the database server or app server, whereas in a scale-out environment it may be deployed on its own server.
Data Anywhere incorporates patented acceleration of Microsoft SQL traffic, allowing a remote database to perform as though it were local. In fact, the acceleration of Microsoft SQL Server traffic allows Microsoft SQL applications to run many times faster over the WAN – often 10 times faster.
Login VSI
With our technology partner Login VSI we assist our clients’ with the deployment of a highly available and predictable desktop virtualisation implementation.
Our capabilities spread across the entire portfolio of Login VSI solutions and supported products:
- Login VSI
End user experience and productivity are key in any virtualised desktop environment. Login VSI makes it easy to load test, benchmark and plan capacity for even the most complex application delivery environments. Login VSI tests performance using virtual users, enabling organisations to consistently provide enhanced performance for live users.
With Login VSI, you can gain performance insights that enable you to:
- Predict the performance impact of necessary updates and upgrades
- Know the maximum user capacity of your current infrastructure
With agentless installation and minimal infrastructure requirements, Login VSI works in any Windows-based application delivery environment including VMware Horizon View, Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services).
Using Login VSI gives you confidence that you will find application and desktop performance issues before your end users do. Further, it will enable you to maximise the performance of your current infrastructure.
- Login PI
Existing monitoring tools can tell you what your CPU utilisation is, or how many IOPS of throughput you’re getting from your storage. But those metrics don’t tell you what your users care about most: is their application available and performing at an optimum level? Things like read-ahead caching may cause it to appear that a system is running at max capacity, but the user experience for workers on that system may still be acceptable. You can’t rely only on performance counters to know if a system is delivering a quality experience, you need a way to measure the full user experience.
Login PI gives performance insights by simulating real users and real user tasks. The virtual user logs in and launches common applications, recording how long it takes for the tasks to complete. The system then watches for any large discrepancies in the results and can generate alerts based on those discrepancies. For example, if logging on normally takes seconds, but one day takes minutes, Login PI will notify an administrator that something is not working as expected in the environment.
