Imagine if I can do the same for most known applications like MS Office, Java, Adobe Acrobat, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and even in house developed applications. Imagine you can put that same exe file into a share folder and allow multiple users to click it from their PCs and all of them get access to Mozilla FireFox browser without installing it or even copying it on their PCs. More fun imagine you can take that file with you on a thumb drive and run it on any Windows machine directly from your thumb drive without even copying it to that machine. Imagine that I can give you a file called firefox.exe and what ever machine you run that file on you will be able to access Mozilla FireFox browser on it without installing it. VMware ThinApp allow you to have your application encapsulated into a single executable file. If you answered any of the above with yes, then all you are looking for is the Magic of Application Virtualization which at VMware we call it VMware ThinApp. Have you ever wonder why your PC was much faster when you just bought it than 6 months down the road?
Have you ever wanted to run two versions of Internet Explorer, Microsoft office, or any other application at the same machine? Have you ever wondered why you have to install applications rather than click on them and just run them? Have you ever wanted to run an older application at your newer Windows 7 machine & was hit by the error it was not supported or it did not work at all? Have you ever wanted to take any application like Firefox, Chrome, MS Office with you on a thumb drive?
OK so before I talk about Application Virtualization & VMware ThinApp let’s ask few questions: The Magic of Application Virtualization with VMware ThinApp(This Post) VMware ThinApp Preparing the ThinApp Capture and Build Machine VMware ThinApp Deployment Scenarios Updating VMware ThinApp Packages Mechanisms VMware ThinAPP Antivirus Best Practices VMware ThinApp Isolation Modes Explanation, Examples, & Video Below are links to the rest of the series in case you are interested in other more in depth VMware ThinApp topic. For some time I have thought everyone has heard of ThinApp, but after visiting few customers around as well talking to my friends at different large vendors I have discovered that ThinApp & Application Virtualization are still a hidden treasure.įor those who is familiar with VMware ThinApp, it is worth mentioning this post is a part of a VMware ThinApp posts series I am creating. If you have not heard of ThinApp or just heard a small whisper here and there about it or about Application Virtualization then keep reading.
For those of you who already know ThinApp, this article might not be of a great interest though keep checking back as I am planning to write few more advance ThinApp articles in the upcoming days.
