15/02/2010, Comparative Study of Application Virtualization

This study endeavors to provide some insight by comparing three popular products, Microsoft App-V, VMware ThinApp and Citrix XenApp, with respect to the success rate, start-up time and memory usage.

Findings Comparative Study Application Virtualization

As expected, it appears that the differences are considerable. The traditional MSI is the most successful and efficient. ThinApp is the fastest, but uses a lot of extra memory. App-V delivers the most successful virtualization product packages, but is not outstanding in terms of speed. XenAPP has difficulty packaging large numbers of applications and is often the slowest.

Background Comparative Study Application Virtualization

In recent years, there has been talk of a massive explosion in application virtualization. With this technique, instead of installing applications on the hard disk in the traditional way, applications are separated from each other and from the underlying operating system by running them in a virtual environment – the bubble or sandbox. This reduces the number of conflicts and provides a degree of flexibility in the area of application deployment and management.

13/10/2008, BRAIN FORCE adds functionality for VMware application virtualization to its Packaging Robot

BRAIN FORCE presents a beta version of its renewed Packaging Robot on the Dutch VMware IT forum on the 15th of October. With the renewed version, customers, who want to deploy application virtualization, are able to generate Packaging Robot VMware Thinapp packages. This enables customers to convert existing distribution formats to virtualisation formats, making it easier for customers to benefit from the advantages of application virtualisation.

Albert Hooyer, Product Manager at BRAIN FORCE: “We see an increase in customers who want to deploy application virtualization in their organization. When they do so, they need more flexibility in order to distribute the software seamlessly, without depending on a specific format. By adding this functionality Packaging Robot now supports the application virtualization formats of market leaders Microsoft and VMware, so we now meet the needs of our customers even better.”
