Comprehensive App Virtualization Leverages Multiple Technologies
• Applications have many layers– User interface
– Graphics display
– File system and Registry components
– System resource utilization (CPU, memory)
– Network address
– Printer drivers
• Abstracting multiple layers provides best performance, security, compatibility and TCO

Citrix Presentation Server 4A Comprehensive App Virtualization Solution
Virtual Interface
• Screen changes sent to desktop
• Only keyboard, mouse, audio I/O and peripheralI/O travels network
User Interface
File & Registry Abstraction
• Isolate applications, prevent changes to registry
• Increase no. of apps that can be virtualized
• Eliminate app conflicts on shared server
CPU & virtual memory resource abstraction
• Ensures fair-share use of processing resources across users
• Abstracts and consolidates DLLs to improve memory use
Printing and peripherals
• “Virtual channels” enable virtual apps to work withlocal devices
• Abstracts printer driver from client PC and consolidates with universal print driver
CPU, Registry, DLLs

Network Address Abstraction
• “Create “Virtual IP address” for each user session
• Expands range of apps that can be virtualized
All layers of an application are virtualized,abstracted and isolated

Business Drivers
Application virtualization propelled by global economic trends
16
Business Continuity
• The Telework Coalition:
• “the best strategy…is to decentralize the work force … to limit disruptions brought on by nature and humankind.”
• “have between 25 percent and 30 percent of their employees working offsite… to have a true continuity of operations plan”
Trend: Using virtualization to enable the same infrastructure to provide
seamless transition between on-site and remote working.
17
Laptop Thefts
Trend: Increasing use of virtualization to centralize critical data and
applications in the data center and reduce exposure
at endpoint devices.
18
Concerns About Outsourcing
HSBC
$420,000 stolen
Citibank
$350,000 stolen Attempted to sell source code
SolidWorks
Trend: Using virtualization to enable extended workforces while maintaining
control over applications, desktops, data
and intellectual property.
19
Branch Office Expansion and Connectivity
• Challenges– Security at branch offices– Lack of IT expertise at branches– Limited network infrastructure and bandwidth– Inefficient resource capacity utilization– Difficulty managing across geographic separation
Trend: Centralizing IT with virtualization and giving secure, high performance access over any network
to common resources
