What is Application Virtualization Software?
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 Features
Application Virtualization Software will include many of the following features.
- Support a wide range of applications
- Run multiple apps on the same device
- Application isolation, minimizing application conflicts
- Support Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, Android
- Support cross-platform operations (such as running Windows apps on iOS, Android, or macOS)
- Support legacy applications
- Support multiple types of endpoint devices
- Security and access control
- Application mobility
