The Delivery of ThinApp Packages with DeskCenter

Further topics: System Management with the DeskCenter Management Suite

ThinApp packages applications in familiar formats (.MSI or .EXE) that can plug into existing infrastructure for software license management, deployment, audit and compliance. By creating a separate instance with its own private sandbox, each application runs in the context of each user session without having to be modified; if a user "breaks" the application, other users are not impacted.

Virtualisation with ThinApp

Application Link enables two ThinApp’ed applications to communicate with each other (such as Java, .Net, IE, Office). Application Sync enables you to automatically keep deployed virtual applications up to date.

“Traditional application packaging and delivery tools are fraught with application and operating system conflicts, which lead to a “brittle” desktop environment,” VMware says. ThinApp eliminates these conflicts and securely packages applications for delivery to physical and virtual desktops throughout the extended enterprise. Additionally, ThinApp enables virtual applications to be streamed from a network or delivered to USB stick.

Advantages:

Deployment of virtual ThinApp (formerly Thinstall) packages (applications) brings you:

  • A centralized management: You can deploy ThinApp packages to thousands of PCs within seconds; just as common software packages (MSI).
  • You always keep track of a package’s version and it’s usage as well as the time of deployment,the type of package and the PC it was deployed to.
  • DeskCenter automatically registers all packages at the Windows user interface of each client. Thus, you don’t have to do that by yourself or instruct the users.
  • You can make optimal use of the streaming function: By providing your ThinApp packages on a network share, you don’t have to deploy them to every single PC. DeskCenter takes care of the registration and detects the path and helps you to carry out your “single point of update” in a perfect way.
