Accelerating application virtualisation

Part of the AppSense DesktopNow suite, Environment Manager virtualizes personalized application settings from ThinApp applications and enables these settings to be shared seamlessly between physically installed native applications and applications delivered virtually. The AppSense Environment Manager enhances user acceptance in the migration to virtualized applications by ensuring that existing preferences, customizations and settings – including history, favorites, custom dictionary, fonts, window size and location – remain unchanged. Other benefits include faster logon times and customized control of a user’s personalization. In the event of profile inconsistencies or corruption, the rollback feature allows the customer to restore an individual’s application settings quickly with minimal downtime and troubleshooting.

“As IT organizations adopt application virtualization solutions like ThinApp to simplify application migration and delivery, our partnership with VMware allows IT to migrate user settings to virtualized applications seamlessly, increasing user acceptance and adoption,” said Scott Arnold, CEO AppSense.

The integration of VMware ThinApp and AppSense Environment Manager comes as IT departments consider application virtualization as part of their Windows 7 migration plans. AppSense streamlines application delivery models enabling faster adoption, lower risk, and higher user acceptance in ThinApp deployments.

“VMware’s ThinApp 5.0, brings the latest technology in application virtualization to the market – it can eliminate application conflicts, deliver reliable and flexible application access to all users, and reduce the need for additional server hardware or software investments,” said Mason Uyeda, senior director, Technical Marketing, End-User Computing at VMware. “By offering this compatibility with AppSense, we continue to deliver the best virtualization experience with the fastest time to value for our customers.”
