1. Desktop Virtualization

   • Defination
     • A method of simulating a user workstation so it can be accessed from a remotely connected device
   • Differences
     • Provides greater virtual infrastructure versatility
     • Richer and clear experience with desktops.
     • Difficult to manage applications because simple adjustments enable the "golden image" to be redeployed in all VDI instances
     • Depending on the use situation, the cost may be a concern
     • Applications are still tied into the underlying OS
     • Provides users with the experience of a full desktop
     • Access and authentication management is comparatively difficult
     • Complete virtualization causes more impact on the underlying hardware
     • It helps to virtualize the user’s entire desktop OS
     • It has many use cases that suit such a technology better than application virtualization

2. Application Virtualization

   • Defination
     • A process that deceives a standard app into believing that it interfaces directly with an operating system's capacities
   • Differences
     • smaller degree of versatility by contrast
     • Desktop experience varies between software and applications
     • Enables faster programmer maintenance, allowing improvements to take place without even knowing that changes have taken place by the user.
     • Cost-effective
     • Fully isolates the application from the underlying OS
     • Provides consumers with the individualized experience to render it application-specific.
     • Access and authentication management is comparatively easier
     • Application virtualization transfers less data, thus lowering the impact on the hardware
     • It focuses and only contains the application content
     • While application virtualization is alone, don't have any uecases
