VMWare ThinApp - a package designed for virtualization applications. Simply put, with this tool you can from traditional applications to easily make a portable (portable) version. Approach allows us to "pack" the application in a container that contains all the necessary information to work on any computer without having to install the desired application. At the same time, importantly, virtualized software in no way affect or alter the current state of the operating system. The very same idea is to prevent software conflicts that can disrupt the system and installed it on. Usefulness is obvious: developers, for example, may carry out tests of new products without risking the stability of the system environment. Approach will reduce the cost of deploying applications on end user computers. ThinApp allows you to run multiple versions of the same program.

In most cases ThinApp effectively implements its key task of virtualization through the mechanism of packaging applications and distribution systems, resulting in an application virtualization becoming available to end users on a network or using flash cards. This program is very good distributes applications, so no need to conduct extensive regression tests to check conflicts with other applications (or previous versions of this product). Along with competing products Program VMware ThinApp significantly different from the traditional tools for packaging applications because it can download an application package in a special section created in the system end user, so the application will be done without interfering with other software that may already be installed.

Previously, there was a major drawback: virtualized applications have been denied the opportunity to communicate with each other, since each of them performed in a separate "sandbox." If the user while working with virtualized Microsoft Word tries to open the Internet-link, a text editor can not turn to the browser. In ThinApp 4 new feature is Application Link, which is in the process of preparing the container, you can create the necessary links between virtualized applications. In the future, perhaps association of ThinApp with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, the proposed use is located on a remote server system and application environment. Analysts suggest that by 2010, virtualization applications will be due the introduction of big business - an approach will be adopted by 50% of companies.
