Application Virtualization Software provides access to applications that are not installed on your physical device. These applications are used in the same manner as if they were present on your device. Apps are set up in remote servers and delivered to an end-user. Multiple apps run in self-contained virtual environments on a client’s computer. Virtualization enables applications to run through different operating systems and browsers without any dependencies.
Other categories of virtualization include virtualized desktops running on remote server OS, server virtualization that partitions server resources into multiple virtual servers, network virtualization that manages entire networks as a single entity, and storage virtualization that pools the physical storage of multiple network devices to appear as if they were a single storage device.
Application Virtualization Software will include many of the following features.
Consider the following when using Application Virtualization Software.
Use Case: Some vendors (Citrix and Cameyo), focus on specific areas such as Windows or web applications.
Licensing: Obtaining a site license provides the flexibility to expand the number of devices and users without impacting your budget, helping support BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and remote work.
Challenges: Applications that will encounter challenges and additional complexity with virtualization include anti-virus software, which is OS device-dependent, performance monitoring and debugging tools, applications with OS-specific device drivers for peripherals such as printers, and heavy graphics applications which can encounter lag time during rendering.
Depending on the technologies and features provided, virtualization software tools have a wide price range. Pricing models include annual or monthly licensing based on the number of devices, users, or sites. Annual maintenance is usually included, along with upgrades, and support. Obtaining a price quote is recommended. Depending on your requirements entry level pricing can range from $375 to $3,200 a month.
