As the personal PC has evolved from a single purpose data processing tool to a multi-dimensional service spanning from the desktop to the datacenter - home office to outsourced contractor - IT has had to adapt in order to balance compliance with security, regulatory and business continuity. IT has spent a considerable amount of time, effort, and money on implementing processes, controls and automation in managing the backend systems. As users become more mobile, proliferated and demanding - the focus is shifting from the backend systems to users.
Unlock Mystery and Risk Behind Virtual Applications
While 1st (agent based clients) and 2nd (clientless embedded agents) Generation Application Virtualization provide efficiencies, the "mystery" of the virtual application has made it hard to move from proof of concept to enterprise deployment. IT needs complete visibility across both physical and virtual applications to provide accurate license tracking, audit trails, and support for end users throughout the overall application lifecycle. InstallFree eliminates the mystery of virtualization by providing complete visibility to existing tools and processes for accurate, precise reporting without complexity.
See into the Virtual Bubble - with 2 Factor Discovery
The 2 Factors for successful deployment across a large number of virtual applications are enabling existing Discovery tools to:
- Identify the Application is on the endpoint
- Retrieve details of the content of the virtual package
InstallFree is the first "agentless" virtual client to enable 2 Factor APIs that allow Discovery tools such as BMC Discovery to pull accurate details on content set by the manufacturer at package time. Watch Introduction Webcasts on 2 Factor Discovery
Realize Benefits of Application Virtualization without Risks
The 2 Factor approach enables IT to deploy virtualization and eliminate risks throughout the overall Business Service Management framework (Asset, Change, Service Desk, and Service Automation/Delivery). InstallFree Applications can be seamlessly picked up and reported on within BMC Discovery and made part of standard business processes, tools and systems in place for license, audit, and control. This is achieved without requiring additional integrations, risks (security, license compliance, or access control), or complicating the asset lifecycle. View Demo of 2 Factor Discovery in Action
