Customer Challenges
A number of factors contribute to the loss of worker productivity at the desktop. Having applications and their environments tied to a specific desktop reduces mobility that results in a productivity loss. Data loss from failed hardware or a corrupt software system environment is not an uncommon occurrence. Network downtime can make corporate resources unavailable bringing corporate activity to a halt. And, migrating to a new PC or operating system can be a traumatic event with many anxious hours spent by IT and end-user personnel during the transition.
The MojoPac Solution
MojoPac virtualization technology provides an excellent solution to these business continuity challenges. Here are some examples.Enhanced Mobility
Today’s predominant mobility paradigm is the laptop. But laptops are not without problems. They require special provisioning. They are a high value asset. They are still subject to the networking and peripheral environments to which they connect. And, they are not as mobile as (or as easy to transport through an airport) as a USB storage device. As more and more workers become mobile, these problems are more and more visible. Corporations are looking for new solutions.
With MojoPac, an entire desktop software environment can be placed on a USB device and carried in your pocket. This is the ultimate in mobility. This environment can easily adapt itself to any desktop – including all of its hardware characteristics, peripherals, and networking. This MojoPac environment can be carried standalone where it is used with desktop resources a customer or remote corporate locations, or, where constant access to computing resources is required, it can be used in conjunction with a laptop where the laptop is easily provisioned.
Faster Recovery from Failures
It is always a traumatic event to have downtime from a local endpoint failure, loss or theft of a laptop, or an enterprise wide failure caused by natural and other disasters. Because MojoPac is not dependent on the specific host, local failures are quickly resolved by simply moving the MojoPac environment from a failed host to a functioning one. And because MojoPac is more readily encrypted and backed up than the typical laptop, recovery is safer and easier.
Reduced Network Dependence
Centralized computing where corporate servers are accessed via a network is one approach to providing business continuity. Although, putting centralizing corporate computing resources can have several advantages, there are still many problems for desktop users. Network downtime can bring productivity to a halt. Network performance or the lack of network availability at some locations is a problem. Centralizing computing resources can also have performance issues.
MojoPac helps an organization cut a fine balance between desktop computing and centralizing services. With MojoPac, the complete desktop environment stays at the desktop, minimizing network latency and the dependency on centralized services. Keeping the applications at the desktop allows the applications to take advantage of the desktop computing power and minimize data access over the network. With MojoPac, the IT organization can concentrate on providing the services that truly need to be centralized and providing services such as backup, configuration, and provisioning support for MojoPac.
A New Strategy for PC and OS Upgrades
Whether migrating employees from older to newer PCs, or upgrading to a new operating system, upgrades can be a traumatic event for IT departments and employees alike. New hardware, operating systems, application, and systems settings all have to tested and then migrated. It is a process that takes much planning and several months of execution. As a result, many organizations delay these upgrades far beyond what makes sense when viewed from other business needs.
With MojoPac, the process is much simpler – take an existing MojoPac installation and move it to a new environment. MojoPac adapts itself to the new PC, including all of its hardware characteristics and also adapts itself to the new operating system. The applications, data, settings, and configuration that installed within MojoPac are all carried from the old environment to the new environment intact. No new application installation or configuration is required. The application data is carried with the MojoPac environment so data copy is not required. The process is simple, easy, and efficient.
Solution Benefits

- Easier recovery from system failures
- A decentralized solution with less dependency on networking
- A vastly improved desktop migration strategy
