Application vs desktop virtualisation

Application vs desktop virtualisation

1. Application Virtualisation

   • Application virtualization is a process that deceives a standard app into believing that it interfaces directly with an operating system's capacities when, in fact, it does not. This ruse requires a virtualization layer inserted between the app and the OS.
   • There are two types of app virtualization: remote and streaming.
   • Advantages:Better Portability,Independence from the Operating System,Easy deployment,Simple to get rid of applications
   • Enables faster programmer maintenance, allowing improvements to take place without even knowing that changes have taken place by the user.
   • Isolates the programmer entirely from the underlying OS.

2. Desktop Virtualisation

   • Desktop virtualization is a method of simulating a user workstation so it can be accessed from a remotely connected device
   • The three most popular types of desktop virtualization are Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), Remote desktop services (RDS), and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS).
   • Advantages: Security,Resource Management,Remote work
   • It is difficult to manage applications because simple adjustments enable the "golden image" to be redeployed in all VDI instances.
   • In the underlying OS, applications are still related to.
