Server Application Streaming
Applications
are managed on a centralized Application portal, but
are streamed to the client device and run in a virtualized
environment. Applications become an on-demand service
that is always available and up to date.
Application
Streaming Overview
Client-side application
virtualization reduces the cost of testing, installing
and supporting applications. Together with application
isolation technology, Application Streaming is the
enabler of application virtualization on the client.
Rather than installing applications on each users'
PC, applications are streamed to a protected isolation
environment on their client device. The isolation
environment controls how applications interact on
the user device, which prevents application conflicts.
Streaming applications into the isolation environment
greatly accelerates their delivery by reducing regression
testing and simplifies management with streamlined
maintenance, upgrades and de-provisioning. In fact,
using streaming for de-provisioning an application
is the most efficient method of removing all traces
of an application. Caching technology makes applications
available even when users are not connected to the
network.
Key
Benefits
As a key component
of both client-side and server-side Application Virtualization,
Application Streaming enables you to:
Eliminate application conflicts and operating system
instability resulting from desktop application installation.
Reduce the costs associated with regression testing,
deployment, maintenance, updates, and de-provisioning
for applications being run locally on users’
machines.
Enable IT to offer applications as an on-demand service.
Lower application support costs by automatically updating
and repairing applications every time they are used. |

Thinware Simplifies Server-Based Computing Solutions |

Click
Thinware reduces the costs of managing corporate SBC environments
by streaming applications to SBC servers. This enables SBC
administrators to configure generic SBC terminal servers,
and then rapidly provision applications to them via on-demand
application streaming. |
|
| |
In particular, environments configured with
siloed applications can benefit. Siloed deployments typically
result in underutilized server capacity, as capacity must
be allocated for peak demand. Adding Click Thinware to the
mix enables administrators to provide on-demand application
streaming to unallocated servers, instantly increasing available
capacity.
|
|
| |
Furthermore, Click Thinware simplifies and
accelerates application and update deployment in SBC environments.
It enables a single, simplified packaging process and facilitates
immediate post-provisioning deployment. The technology provides
an efficient application update process, streaming only those
portions of the application that have been updated. |

Enterprises can also derive significant benefit
from combining Click Thinware with SBC solutions in order
to provide a fuller breadth of functionality to a broader
array of use cases, as SBC solutions alone, despite their
obvious benefits, have some technical limitations that Click
Thinware can eliminate. For example: |
|
| |
In
SBC environments, all processing takes place on the central
server, so end users require access to the central server
in order to access the applications — disconnected users
have no application access. In contrast, Click Thinware provides
on-demand application streaming to the end user's desktop,
where the applications are available for offline, disconnected
remote access, while maintaining the SBC on-demand end-user
experience.
|
|
| |
SBC
environments work in conjunction with thin-client workstations,
which means that end users do not have the ability to customize
workstations or load applications locally. In contrast, Click
Thinware works with thick-clients, which provides end users
with the flexibility to customize workstations and to load
additional applications on their machines, while maintaining
centralized control of core applications. |
|
| |
SBC
solutions transmit all end-user inputs from remote access
clients to central servers for processing, and then transmit
all processed information back to the remote access clients,
resulting in heavy network traffic, making these solutions
inappropriate for certain applications. In contrast, Click
Thinware localizes all processing at the client machine, making
it appropriate for any application, while guaranteeing the
consistent version control that is ensured by SBC solutions.
