Simply virtualizing the desktop - is not enough to eliminate high costs of storage, networking and call volumes associated with application compatibility, license compliance overages, and rollouts. IT has to think outside the preverbal desktop to the heart of the matter - the application.
Physical or Virtual users are still impacted by rolling out and rolling back badly behaving applications. Application Virtualization can be a powerful compliment to the Virtual Desktop strategy by streamlining image and application sizes delivered over lower link connections.
Virtual Desktops for a Fraction of the Costs
InstallFree's unique approach to application virtualization enables IT to reduce the costs of delivering desktops and applications as a service for a fraction of the cost of using Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or Terminal Service by themselves. Applications are encapsulated and can be streamed to the virtual desktop - decreasing duplication of data (storage), network latency, and impact to end users.
Benefits:
- Lock down virtual applications in the datacenter
- Reduce network and storage costs with slim images
- Reduce Citrix or Terminal Services Server Farm - Green IT
- Eliminate Application Conflict
- Reduce impact of application patch and software upgrades
- Eliminate reboot cycles
- Enforce license compliance
Flexible Provisioning of Virtual Applications
InstallFree can either plug into existing management consoles or provide an alternative mechanism to deliver to lower number of managed endpoints within the virtual desktop environment - adding to user flexibility and experience while maintaining compliance to key government, business and security directives.
