Application Virtualization: Easy Application Distribution at Last?

Windows Installer repackaging and application management can be a real challenge for any IT organization, requiring regression testing, complex script creation and extensive troubleshooting.

Application Virtualization is a breakthrough technology that eliminates a number of issues that inherently make application deployment so complex. And while early application virtualization tools were difficult to master, new tools make this technology accessible to administrators of all levels.

With application virtualization, Windows administrators can:

• Free themselves from worrying about the presence of application dependencies
• Forget about having to ensure other applications are not negatively affected due to file conflicts
• Eliminate the need to create scripts traditionally required to realize silent customized installations

Are the days of the Windows Installer-based deployments numbered? Microsoft has already removed Windows Installer as a logo requirement for Windows 7. How will these changes affect administrators focused on application deployment and desktop management today?

In this live web event, Bob Kelly, founder of AppDeploy.com, will address these questions and more regarding the uses and benefits of application virtualization.
