For IT Directors
Upgrade operating systems without having to upgrade or replace legacy applications. Generate MSI files that can be registered with the underlying host OS to easily plug into your existing desktop management systems without painful integrations.
Key Benefits for IT Directors:
- Streamline application migration and upgrades
- Reduce regression testing costs with independent sandboxes
- Reduce the cost of maintaining secure locked-down desktops
- Consolidate Terminal Server and MetaFrame servers
- Enhance work-force mobility with the ability to run applications offline directly on any external media including USB Flash, CDROM, and unattached laptops
- Upgrade operating systems without having to upgrade or replace legacy applications
- Protect PCs against changes to the file systems and registry
For Developers
Don’t limit your development environment to end user environments. You can use the latest runtimes, frameworks, and components for faster development time with ThinApp, by linking virtual applications with key components like Java or .Net. Deploy the latest technologies to restricted user accounts with zero installation or impact on other applications. Deliver your application as a USB application.
Key Benefits for Developers:
- Package your applications in standard EXE and MSI files
- Deliver a zero-footprint application that doesn’t need an install
- Convert traditional applications to virtualized applications quickly and easily
- Streamline your regression testing with sandboxing and snapshot capabilities
- Package or link any runtime you want directly with your application
- Eliminate risks and conflicts with other applications on the endpoint
For Software Vendors (ISVs)
Deliver software that protects the local OS from modifications that might cause instability or breach security. Even restricted user accounts can safely run virtualized applications without requiring a local installation, making it much more appetizing for IT staff concerned about security. And with the ThinApp Virtual OS component a mere 400k on disk and occupying as little as 1 MB RAM at runtime, there is no noticeable impact on runtime performance.
Key Benefits for ISVs:
- Shorten your QA cycle by packaging your application, registry keys and DLLs, into an EXE file
- Deliver your application from any media, including USB drive or network to physical or virtual desktops
- Run in virtually any environment, including terminal servers, Citrix MetaFrame, locked-down desktops
- Reduce support costs by delivering an application that doesn't modify registry values or file systems
