BDS Solutions can help your application deployments by utilising Microsoft App-V (previously SoftGrid), offering the following benefits:
- Virtualized Applications on demand
- Dynamic Streaming of Applications
- Accelerate Deployments
- Offline Access
- Centrally Deployed Updates
- Eliminate Application Conflicts
- Reduced Licensing Costs
Modern-day business processes demand a plethora of disparate ICT applications, each of which require expensive, time-consuming compatibility and deployment testing before being introduced to the business.
Today's business processes also demand a flexible, more mobile work-force, a requirement that is often hindered by the traditional approach to ICT desktop management, where applications are only available on PCs where they are installed, hence users are tied to their computers.
Microsoft App-V
Microsoft App-V addresses this requirement and transforms applications into virtualised, network available services, resulting in dynamic delivery of software that is never installed locally, never conflicts, and minimises costly application compatibility testing.
Users and their application environments are no longer PC-specific, and the PCs are no longer user-specific, enabling ICT to be more flexible and responsive to the needs of the business, whilst significantly reducing the cost of PC and application management.
The following diagram details a typical SoftGrid implementation:
