What it doesCreates a package of a single application

Eliminates software install

What it is good forResolve conflicts between applications

Simplify application delivery and testing

What it doesCreates a package with a full OS

Application Sequencing – The gateway to Microsoft Application Virtualization

Rapidly packages

applications through active

execution dependencies.

The Sequencer produces the

virtual application package

containing the application

and its dependencies.

(HTTP)

Content Server

Virtual App is loaded into cache and icons and files are available to user.

Virtual App is delivered to the client (RTSP/Http/ MSI/ESD).Use 3rd party interface for

publishing to IIS 3rd party ESD or Standalone Mode.

Microsoft App-V for Terminal Servers

Microsoft Application Virtualization allows any application to run

along-side any other on a terminal server, eliminating the need

for silos and increasing utilization, resulting in the need for less

servers.

» Instantly deploy applications to Citrix/Terminal Servers

» Eliminate installs, regression testing & downtime

» Eliminate applications that conflict on the same server, including multiple versions of same app

» Enable applications that were not designed to run in multi-user mode

Dynamic Application InteractionDynamic Suite Composition (DSC)

Administrator controls & configures the virtual

application separately

Create a “one to one” scenario for single applications

that are dependant on each other

Create a “many to one” scenario where middleware

and plug ins components can be reused

Reduces the potential package size

Flexible Package Management

Single application with no dependencies still exist

Application known to not conflict may be configured to

share the same virtual environment

Mandatory/Optional dependency configuration options

Virtual applications can share common dependencies

How MED-V Relates to Windows XP Mode

MED-V will not require PCs to have hardware assisted virtualization (e.g. Intel VT, AMD-V)

MED-V v1 Architecture

MED-V v1 Delivery Methods

MED-V TrimTransfer Image Delivery

How to update/patch virtual images?

Initial delivery (using TrimTransfer)

Alt. I: update the “Master” image onceand deliver image differences to endpoints

Alt. II: connect to Active Directory domain and use standard software delivery

Easy to manage

User data and settings must be saved on the network

Standard! (use WSUS, SCCM, etc)

1. Import Virtual Machine and Configure Policies

2. End User Experience

App-V 4.5 SP1 and Windows7

Maintain user productivity regardless of application format

Integration with Windows 7 maintains user experience and productivity

Virtual applications behave the same as regularly installed applications.

Increased IT control with AppLocker integration

Enforce compliance of virtual applications with AppLocker policies

Provide consistent policy management for all application types.

Make users productive anywhere and save on IT infrastructure using BranchCache

Virtual applications traverse the WAN once and are available faster via BranchCache

Secure application delivery with BitLocker ToGo

Confidently deliver virtual applications on a removable drive securely, and maintain licensing compliance.

App-V is the only application virtualization product in market that is compatible with Windows 7

What’s coming …

Broaden our Windows platform and application coverage

Enable App-V to recognize and run 64-bit applications

Enable App-V to run on 64-bit Windows Operating SystemsWindows 7, Vista and XPWindows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 (App-V for TS)

Simplify the App-V Sequencing experience

Improved Sequencer UI

Enable App-V to sequence true 64-bit applications

Further expand our global coverage

Enable virtualization of non-English applications in 13 additional languages

Enable localization of App-V management UI’s in 12 additional languages.
