Application Virtualization Solutions

Altiris® Software Virtualization Solution™ (SVS)

Description from the manufacturer:

Altiris® Software Virtualization Solution™ software is a revolutionary approach to software management. By placing applications and data into managed units called Virtual Software Packages, Software Virtualization Solution allows you to instantly activate, deactivate or reset applications and to completely avoid conflicts between applications, without altering the base Windows installation. Application streaming provides the on-demand delivery mechanism that leverages the power of Software Virtualization Solution to enable the real-time infrastructure.

Software Virtualization Solution ensures applications use correct files and registry settings, without modifying the OS and without interfering with other applications. This software management solution allows you to host multiple versions of an application on the same system without conflicts between older and newer files. And you can easily activate or deactivate your applications based on need by sending a single command to the client systems.

Software Virtualization Solution integrates with Altiris extensible management architecture (EMA), so you benefit from native integration with Altiris' award-winning service, asset, and systems management solutions. EMA makes it easy to extend capabilities as your business grows and your business needs change.

Endeavors Technologies AppExpress

Description from the manufacturer:

AppExpress from Endeavors Technologies is a new approach to application management and delivery that every IT department should consider. AppExpress is an innovative tool for centrally deploying Windows® applications to client devices. Instead of using traditional “push” technology such as Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), or client-server based solutions to install or run entire applications, AppExpress responds to user requests for applications and immediately pulls the application to a user's desktop. However, only the portion of code necessary to run the application is streamed to the client, reducing a traditional install by 60-80%.

Manufacturer: Endeavors Technologies plc.

Note: As announced on August 8, 2008, Endeavors PLC is currently in administration and is in the process of being sold to Acresail Limited.

VMware ThinApp

Description from the manufacturer:

VMware ThinApp is an Application Virtualization Platform that enables complex software to be delivered as self-contained EXE files which can run instantly with zero installation from any data source. The core of ThinApp is the Virtual Operating System, a small light-weight component which is embedded with each “Thinstalled” application.

ThinApp acts as a thin Virtual Operating System (VOS) that merges a virtual system environment with the real system environment. The Thinstall Virtual OS consists of the Virtual File system (VFS), and Virtual Registry (VREG). ThinApp generates a single secure executable file which virtualizes the application and associated registry and filesystem changes.

ThinApp packages can be deployed using any existing software deployment systems including Active Directory and SMS. ThinApp has no client or server components to manage or maintain and ThinApp can transparently stream large applications from any network attached storage devices without server software.

Manufacturer: VMware, Inc.

This product originated under the name Thinstall. After VMware acquired Thinstall in 2008 it was renamed to ThinApp with the release of version 4.0.
