Among the ways to implement a Desktop Virtualization solution, is including virtualization at the application layer. A process commonly referred to, as Application Virtualization. Microsoft recommends this as the first step in your desktop virtualization project, In order to benefit from the cost savings associated with this technology. Microsoft application virtualization, or APP-V, is one of the most mature and popular technologies of this type available today. APP-V takes a different approach to application delivery. With App-v, applications are not installed, but instead are virtual, as such they can be streamed to users whenever they click on the application icon. By separating the application layer from the operating system, APP-V reduces application conflicts, brings patch and update management to a central location. And, accelerates the deployment of new applications and updates. APP-V also reduces the costs associated with testing and deploying applications under a new operating system, such as Windows 7. Regardless of form factor, such as laptop, PC, Terminal Server, or VDI desktop. Thereby increasing the speed at which IT can deliver applications to users. Deploying Microsoft application virtualization, can deliver many other immediate benefits to IT, including reduced application packaging times to a fraction of the time typically needed to create Windows installer packages. And, reduced compatibility and regression testing by providing isolation that prevents application to application conflicts. APP-V runs on either 32 or 64-bit Windows platforms, including terminal services, enabling more applications per server, and allowing users to access their virtual applications from anywhere. Customers who choose to leverage VDI in their environment, can reduce their SAN storage space requirements through APP-V's shared cache capability. And with APP-V 4.6, you can accelerate deployment of office 2010, for delivery of key productivity enhancements, and a seamless user experience. Microsoft Application Virtualization is available through subscription to the Microsoft desktop optimization pack for software assurance, or MDOP. For terminal services scenarios, customers are granted rights to app v4 RDS, via the Windows Server 2008 RDS client access license.
