    Problem:

    Tightly coupled relationships between OS,

    Applications and Data

    Symptoms:

    Application Conflicts

    Complex Compatibility Test Matrices

    Diminished Time to Deployment

    Loss of User Productivity

    Increased helpdesk support calls

    Solution: VMware ThinApp Agentless application virtualization

    decouples applications and data

    from the OS

    Windows Server 2008 R2*

    Windows 7/Server 2008 can be used to capture applications*

    Best practice: Capture on lowest common OS

    Applications captured on older platforms (XP or Vista) can run on Windows7/Server 2008*

    Now Includes IE6!**

    Apps requiring IE6 may now be packaged with ThinApp 4.6 on Win XP anddeployed to Win 7 and 2008 R2 systems.**

    Works with multiple web browsers including conflicting IE6 packages!**

    Redirect native browsing to virtual browser based upon defined URLs.**

    How:Application Conflicts can arise through OS Migrations!

    Eliminates App Conflicts through Virtualization.Reduced memory consumption and page file usage.

    Easy Deployment & Retraction of Apps with any OS!No App Tentacles!No Uninstall Artifacts.ThinApp Integrates into virtually any ESD.An OS with fewer native apps is easier to up is easier to upgrade

    Reduced Support Desk Calls All Around!ThinApp packaged apps are easy to update.Support Time for Troublesome apps reduced to virtually nothing!

    User Data Migration Can Have Issues.ThinApp packaged apps can virtualize User Data.ThinApp Sandbox controls allow data to exist outside of User Profiles.
