With ThinApp 4.5, enterprises can quickly migrate existing applications to new Windows operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 7, eliminating conflicts between operating environments, and extending the life of application investments.Īccording to the January 2010 Enterprise Strategy Group study (ESG), more than 75% of enterprises refreshing their desktops in the next 24 months are expected to migrate to Windows 7. ThinApp 4.5 enables rapid adoption of Microsoft Windows 7 in the enterprise by providing compatibility for legacy and custom applications across multiple Windows operating system environments. Additional client licenses are priced at $39 per endpoint.VMware, Inc., the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop through the data center and to the cloud, today announced the availability of VMware’s ThinApp 4.5 application virtualization solution. ThinApp Suite and client licenses are perpetual and 50 client licenses are available for the list price of $5,000. According to the company, it can be used with existing management tool sets and works with a variety of operating systems including Windows NT, 2000, XP and Vista. ThinApp's "secret sauce" is that it's agentless, a feature pioneered by Thinstall, requiring no pre-installed software on physical or virtual PCs. ThinApp 4.0 also allows a PC user to run the same application under different releases. It decouples OS and applications which eliminates software installation conflicts and reduces regression testing, resulting in reduced desktop management costs and user downtime. Competitors such as Microsoft with SoftGrid and Citrix with Application Streaming also have offerings in this market.Īccording to Ed Albanese, senior product manager, ThinApp 4.0 has been enhanced with several additional features including Application Link, which allows interdependent applications to be more effectively integrated and Application Sync which can stream updates to an end user's applications using HTTP/HTTPS.Īpplication virtualization can be used on both virtual and physical PCs, as well as an enhancement to VMware's server-based desktop virtualization platform, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
The product is been developed as a result of the company's acquisition of Thinstall last January. VMware has announced VMware ThinApp 4.0, its major offering in the emerging market for application virtualization. News VMware Unveils ThinApp 4.0 for Application Virtualization
