Benefits of Deploying ThinApp Applications

Deploying ThinApp applications provides the following benefits:
| • | Reduces time to deployment and costs associated with testing—Applications can be deployed and run in independent sandboxes, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming multi-application regression testing. This reduces the time to deployment and the costs associated with testing. |
| • | Fast, lightweight virtualization —ThinApp does not use emulation, so all processes are executed natively at full speed. |
| • | Reduces the cost of maintaining secure locked-down desktops—ThinApp applications can run in restricted user accounts without requiring any host modifications. |
| • | Enhances work-force mobility, business continuity and disaster recovery—ThinApp applications can be run off-line, directly from any external media including USB Flash, CD-ROM, and off-line laptops. |
| • | No infrastructure changes needed—ThinApp applications can be deployed using any existing software deployment systems including Active Directory and SMS. ThinApp has no client or server components to manage or maintain and ThinApp can transparently stream large applications from any network attached storage devices without server software. |
| • | Sandboxing prevents modifications—ThinApp redirects all changes intended for the host computer’s file system and registry to a private per-user sandbox. Sandboxes can be located on a network share, allowing application settings to follow users as they move from machine to machine. For mobile users, sandboxes can be stored on local USB flash drives, thus preventing damage to the host computer or accidental host storage of sensitive data. |
