Virtualize and isolate your desktop applications.

ZENworks Application Virtualization can help


Features & Benefits

Prevent application conflicts
Say Goodbye to Application Conflicts. Novell ZENworks virtualized applications run in an isolated environment that's immune to conflicts with internal applications. Each virtualized application is packaged with all application files, settings, runtimes, and components needed to run immediately. Applications act just like they would if they were installed locally, but your operating system, registry and run-time environments remain unchanged.
Control deployment costs
Slash the time required to test and deploy applications. Preparing applications for deployment has traditionally required time- and labor-intensive testing. According to Gartner Research, it's the primary reason most companies only have 10 to 25 percent of their application portfolios packaged. As a result 75 to 90 percent of applications are installed manually. Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization accelerates application deployments by dramatically reducing the need for pre-deployment testing. And because it's tightly integrated with Novell ZENworks Configuration Management, you can use one unified lifecycle management solution to manage all your physical and virtual applications.
Keep desktops secure
Secure desktops don't have to be a pain to manage. Distributing new applications on locked-down systems is an arduous process. Maintaining changing registries, files and DLLs on these systems often results in tough choices regarding security versus compatibility. By isolating application resource interdependencies, Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization helps you manage secure environments without compromise. And because ZENworks Application Virtualization allows you to restrict virtual applications that are not registered with your ZENworks Configuration Management zone, you can make virtual applications part a comprehensive application security solution.
Make it easy on your IT staff
No muss, no fuss. Easily adopt virtualized applications into your existing IT environment-without installing or setting up additional agents, device drivers or virtual machines. Use step-by-step wizards to automate the creation process. Optimize virtual applications to run directly from DVDs or USB drives. Use pre-configured virtual applications profiles for the most popular desktop productivity and browser offerings. ZENworks Application Virtualization even offers application compression, the option to convert legacy ZENworks AXT-based applications to virtual applications, and the ability to distribute patches for a virtual application independently of the application itself.
