SoftGrid Technologies
Realize greater efficiency and responsiveness for software deployments and updates.
Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization's patented technologies enable IT to dramatically streamline the deployment and management of virtual applications.
In SoftGrid's merging of software and utility, applications are de-coupled from operating systems to make them mobile and stateless, so they can be deployed where they need to be – in real-time.
These key technologies enable SoftGrid to complete the utility computing paradigm and extend the benefits beyond the data center to the enterprise desktop client:
| Application Virtualization Transforms applications into portable, on-demand network services that run locally without being installed, and without conflicts with the OS or other applications |
| Application Packaging A wizard-based tool that packages and virtualizes Windows applications for delivery as network services |
| Dynamic Streaming Delivery Applications are instantly delivered to the desktop resource that needs them, upon user demand |
| Centralized Policy-based Management Ties in with Active Directory for application assignment. |
