Compatible with Windows* Vista* and Windows XP, ZENworks Application Virtualization reduces the cost and time required for software testing, packaging, deployment, configuration and contingency planning to ensure successful application and operating system upgrades. For example, with ZENworks Application Virtualization customers can continue to run Internet Explorer 6-based applications on Windows Vista, a configuration that previously required the application to be re-tooled to support Internet Explorer 7.
"Organizations are implementing application virtualization as a critical
time and money saver that can decrease testing, packaging and support time,"
said
ZENworks Application Virtualization increases a customers' computing flexibility and allows IT organizations to maintain control of the desktop environment, by:
-- Eliminating application conflicts through the deployment of a single, pre-configured, isolated .exe file that runs immediately anywhere.
-- Enabling quick and easy deployment of virtual applications using any one of multiple distribution channels, including ZENworks Configuration Management, CD/DVD, thumbdrive or via the Web, without requiring additional servers or managed device components.
-- Enabling compatibility with more than 70 certified software applications as well offering pre-configured templates to simplify the virtualization of today's most popular applications including Firefox*, Internet Explorer, Adobe* and Microsoft Office.
-- Ensuring security continuity on locked-down desktops by allowing virtualized applications to run without requiring access to the file system or registry.
"End users just want their applications to work regardless of the
operating system they use," said
