Application virtualization is an umbrella term that describes software technologies that improve portability, manageability and compatibility of applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed. A fully virtualized application is not installed in the traditional sense, although it is still executed as if it is. The application is fooled at runtime into believing that it is directly interfacing with the original operating system and all the resources managed by it, when in reality it is not. Application virtualization differs from platform virtualization in that in the latter case, the whole operating system is virtualized rather than only specific applications.

Application Virtualization Benefits:

• Streams applications on-demand over the internet or via the corporate network to desktops, Terminal servers and laptops.
• Automates and simplifies the application management lifecycle by significantly reducing regression and application interoperability testing.
• Accelerates OS and application deployments by reducing the image footprint.
• Reduces the end user impacts associated with application upgrades/patching and terminations. No reboots required; no waiting for applications to install; and no need to uninstall when retiring an application.
• Enables controlled application use when users are completely disconnected.
