Application virtualization made easy

App-V 4.6 Service Pack 1A simplified packaging experience – new packagers are productive right awayActionable diagnostic messages – find problems before they become problemsStep-by-step guidance for common packaging tasks

Application virtualization made predictableConsistent, repeatable application packaging Built-in best practices make you a sequencing expertStreamlined command-line scripting to enable automation

Application virtualization made fastApp-V Package Accelerators speed packaging of complex applicationsApp-V Templates provide a way to quickly and easily reuse common settingsEliminate the App-V Sequencing learning curve

Optimizing server disk storage when using App-V in RDS and VDI scenariosPoint virtual desktops to a shared application cache instead of streaming to each individuallyReduces storage requirements on SAN by eliminating redundancy of application binaries

Thin Client Choices

Benefits

Considerations

Definition

Licensing

Traditional Thin Client

A device with a reduced hardware and software footprint, intended to connect to a remote desktop

Smaller attack surface than PCFewer breakable parts than PCLower energy costs than PC

Excellent choice for pure server-based desktop scenariosThin clients need security and management updatesNeeds to be always connected to the network

Requires Windows Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) license, which includes Software Assurance (SA) benefits

Thin Client Form Factors

Zero Client

A terminal with no local storage, operating system, or processing

Extremely low device TCONo OS to manage on deviceHighest reliability – no moving parts

Has all the benefits of traditional thin clientsRequires additional processing on server to translate I/O callsCannot run browser-based applications or be upgraded

Requires VDA License, which includes SA benefits

Windows Thin PC (WinTPC)

A repurposed PC running a smaller footprint locked down version of Windows, making it behave like a thin client

No upfront hardware and licensing costs All the advantages of traditional thin clientsEnterprise-grade manageability and security

Large PC inventory capable of running Windows 7Reduced CapEx budgets for device purchasesStrategy is not locked to thin client – flexibility to revert back to PCs

WinTPC is a benefit of SA / VDA
