The Desktop Revolution is Here


What are the business challenges around desktop provision and support?


How can desktop virtualization address these business challenges?

Desktop virtualization can be leveraged to provide desktops as a managed service within the Enterprise

Desktop virtualization provides for data-centre level protection of corporate data held on PC’s

Providing desktops as a managed service drives down the cost on a “per-instance” basis for desktop provision

Virtual desktops can be “locked-down” to prevent unauthorised data or applications being introduced to the PC instance

Virtual desktops can be accessed from a wide range of devices, accommodating more users’ needs

How ThinApp Works

• Application encapsulationand Isolation

• Intercepts file and system calls• Process Loading- start exe from

VOS, Launch from host OS (Virtual/Physical).

• DLL Loading. loads DLL dependencies the EXE/DLL/OCX files from archive

• Thread and process management. VOS tracks all processes and threads inside virtual registry (COM & Utility)

Technical Architecture – User Mode Architecture• User mode architecture provides transparency and best in class compatibility.

ThinApp packaged apps do not require kernel mode for CPU-level privileges.• No more BSODs!!• Host OS and other apps are protected from potential corruptions by app modifications.

ThinApp packaged apps do not require Admin mode for OS-level privileges.• No more Local Admins!• Users can run apps on locked-down PCs or Kiosks as “guest” user.
