THINSTALL – VMWARE

THINSTALL – VMWARE

APPLICATION VIRTUALIZATION?

VMware defines application virtualization as the ability to deploy software without modifying the host computer or making any changes to the local operating system, file system or registry.

ADVANTAGE:

1.Complexities and support issues associated with delivering and accessing traditional applications are eliminated.
2. The time and regression testing required to successfully deliver applications and updates is shortened to hours instead of weeks.
3.Virtualized applications can be run without modifications or additions of files, registries to a PC, including administrative security permissions.

THINSTALL - VMWARE APPLICATION VIRTUALIZATION

VMware application virtualization THINSTALL ensures faster deployment of software with a more seamless end-user experience. Using this technology, organizations can deploy custom and commercial software across the enterprise without installation conflicts, system changes or impact on stability or security.

BENEFITS OF VIRTUALIZED APPLICATIONS

Ø Portability
Ø Increased Application Deployments Efficiency
Ø Runtime conflicts elimination
Ø Support of Single application packages across various Windows platform
Ø Secured Usage

1.Portability: Thinstalled applications have the ability to stream from any network share without a local client or a backend server.
2.Increased Application Deployments Efficiency: Virtualized applications ensures faster deployment of software and enable administrators to confidently deploy applications with little or no regression testing, even to the most secure desktops.
3.Runtime Conflicts Elimination: Deploying Thinstalled applications reduce lengthy QA and regression testing.
4.Support of Single application packages across various Windows platform: Virtualized (Thinstalled) Applications can run without requiring modifications or additions of files, registries to a PC, including administrative security permissions, which protects the host operating system from possible corrupting installation modifications.
5.Secured Usage: Applications virtualized with Thinstall operate exclusively in user mode and therefore the host operating system and other applications are protected from potential corruption by installation modifications.

WHY THINSTALL?
VMware’s Thinstall technology solutions are uniquely different from other virtualization methods for application deployment.

Ø Thinstall creates a true self-contained virtual application and the strategy behind the technology addresses the problems of host integrity and end-user productivity.
Ø VMware Thinstall provides remote and mobile users with their own familiar desktop environment, wherever the physical location might be, ensuring the security and stability of desktops.
Ø VMware Thinstall completely supports Windows Vista and makes migration easier by eliminating Limited User Account (LUA) related errors and compatibility issues.
