1. Application virtualization

   • Defintion: Application virtualization or app virtualization is the technology that allows users to access and use an application from a separate computer than the one on which the application is installed.
   • 1. Application virtualization refers to insulate running programs from the underlying desktop and there are various methods for this.
   • 2.A lesser level of flexibility in comparison
   • 3.The desktop experience differs from application to application
   • 4.Allows easier maintenance of applications, allowing change to take place without the user even noticing that changes have taken place
   • 5.Cost-effective solution
   • 6.Fully isolates the application from the underlying OS

2. Desktop virtualization

   • Definition:Desktop virtualization is technology that lets users simulate a workstation load to access a desktop from a connected device remotely or locally. This separates the desktop environment and its applications from the physical client device used to access it.
   • 1.Desktop Virtualization refers to virtualizing desktops and applying operating systems to a remote or local client.
   • 2.Offers greater flexibility to virtual infrastructure
   • 3.A richer and consistent desktop experience
   • 4. Maintenance of applications is difficult as simple changes require redeployment of the “golden image” to all VDI instances
   • 5.Cost can be a concern depending on the use case
   • 6.Applications are still tied into the underlying OS
