Deliver and Deploy Applications More Efficiently, Securely, and Cost-effectively
VMware offers you two options for delivering and deploying applications in ways that will improve efficiency, security, and reduce costs (yours and your customers):
Virtual Appliances

ThinApp
Run any version of almost any application on a single operating system without conflicts with other applications. You can even run multiple versions of the same application. Plug VMware ThinApp into your existing management infrastructure and accelerate your software development and desktop deployment. Deliver and deploy applications more efficiently, more securely, and more cost-effectively with agentless application virtualization.
