Application Virtualization

Application Virtualization

1. Comparatively, less control over Virtual infrastructure.

   • isolation make the application unaware of underlying Machine

2. Desktop experience differs from application to application

3. Management of application is quite easy, can happen without even user noticing it

   • Quite cost effective, as management is comparativly easy

4. Applications are completely isolated form the underlying OS, more portable

5. User Experience is application specific

6. Impact on the hardware is less, as its not complete virtualization and less data is transferred in and out the isolation

7. Harder to secure the application, especially if its an offline one as, as it can be cracked and multiple isolated copies of working software can be made

8. More portable and light weight
