Comparison b/w Application and Desktop Virtualization

Comparison b/w Application and Desktop Virtualization

1. Application Virtualization

   • Lesser Level of Flexibility in Comparision
   • Desktop experience differs from application to application
   • Easier Maintenance of application
   • Cost Effective Solution
   • Full Isolation of the application from the OS
   • Individualized user Experience
   • Lower Impact on Hardware
   • Access and Authentication is Comparatively Easy
   • Better Portability

2. Desktop Virtualization

   • Flexibility to virtual Infrastructure
   • Richer and Consistent Desktop Experience
   • Maintence of Application is Difficult
   • Cost is of a Concern
   • Application are still tied to the underlying OS
   • Complete Desktop Experience
   • Complete Virtualization causes more impact on the Hardware
   • Access and Authentication is Comparatively difficult
