Transform applications into virtualized services that are rapidly available.
Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization is the only virtualization solution that delivers applications that are never installed and dynamically delivered, on demand. Whether deployed on desktops, laptops or, terminal servers, SoftGrid changes application management from a series of manual tasks into an automated, streamlined process that accelerates the pace and reduces the cost of business.
Rapidly Available: Plug a computer into your network and rapidly provide users with all their virtualized applications.
Accessible on Any Licensed Device: All assigned applications are accessible on any licensed device. SoftGrid even allows controlled application use when users are completely disconnected.
Centrally Controlled Access: Because SoftGrid centralizes management of applications, users can only get the applications they have the right to run. Centralized control also enables IT to patch or upgrade once to the server and the next time the users access the network, their applications are updated without impacting their productivity.
Cost-reducing: Help significantly reduce costly processes such as compatibility testing, as well as hidden costs. Customers have cut help-desk costs by up to 30% by reducing call volume for application-related problems, and reduced end-user downtime by up to 80% by easing challenges with business continuity of applications.
SoftGrid's patented application virtualization, dynamic streaming delivery, and centralized management technologies make everything from deployments and upgrades to migrations and business continuity initiatives, easier and faster with better agility:
Application virtualization: Enable applications to run without the need to visit a desktop, laptop, or terminal server. Applications are no longer installed on the client—and there is minimal impact on the host operating system or other applications. The most extensive virtualization technology on the market, SoftGrid virtualizes per user, per application instance, as well as key application components. As a result, application conflicts and the need for regression testing are dramatically reduced.
Dynamic streaming delivery: Applications are rapidly delivered using a streaming protocol, when needed, to laptops, desktops and terminal servers. Just 5%-40% depending upon application is needed to launch the application. Additional components are delivered when as transparently requested by the application. This results in faster delivery of the application when needed.
Centralized, policy-based management: Virtual Application deployments, patches, updates, and terminations are more easily managed via policies, and administered through the SoftGrid console.
Use Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization to help reduce the complexities inherent in enterprise application management. With SoftGrid you can reduce challenges and transform your computing environment into a dynamic, services-oriented infrastructure.
