SoftGrid Application Virtualization

• Applications are virtualized per instance
• Files (including System Files)
• Registry
• Fonts
• .ini
• COM objects
• Services
• Applications do not get installed or alter the
  operating system
• Yet tasks process locally on the host computer.

10
How Applications are VirtualizedThe SoftGrid
Sequencer

• The Sequencer is a wizard-based tool that rapidly
  virtualizes applications without changing source
  code. Includes auto-detection of file types.
• Sequencer packages an applications
  configurations and segments application code into
  a file placed on the server
• Sequencer file is placed onto one or more
  SoftGrid servers for on-demand deployment to
  desktops, laptops or terminal servers.
• With 4.0, can sequence Office in less than 10
  mins.

11
SoftGrid On-Demand Streaming of Virtual Apps

• Permission Based
• User clicks on desktop shortcuts
• authentication, authorization and
• licensing checked every time users
• launch a SoftGrid application
• Centrally Served
• The first time the Server streams
• just enough code (20-40) to client
• or TS machine. As more code is
• needed, it is dynamically delivered.
• Locally Executed
• App executes on desktop, laptop and/or Terminal
  Server, not on SoftGrid Server
• Cached for Performance
• App code is cached for repeat use even without
  a network
• Disconnected Use Support
• Entire set of applications are cached for limited
  time before expiring

12
SoftGrid Policy-Based Management for Users
Applications

• SoftGrid Management Web Service central service
  for setting up, administering and monitoring all
  SoftGrid servers and applications.
• Assign application privileges via Active
  Directory
• Full license control for all applications
• Remote help IT can connect to SoftGrid from any
  computer
• Active Upgrade Roll out new applications
  without any down time
• Server Upgrades - One-click migrations of
  SoftGrid server configurations to other servers

SoftGrid Integration into Microsoft Systems
Management Server (SMS)

• All the functionality of SoftGrid from within
  Microsoft SMS plus
• Ability to push entire virtualized applications
  using SMS
• SMS asset management can detect virtual
  applications

Virtualized applications are managed through the
SMS Management Console
Virtual applications are pushed from SMS server
and/or streamed on-demand from the SoftGrid Server
Application is virtualized via SoftGrid sequencer
When target clients are inventoried by SMS, the
virtual applications appear in the reports
14
SoftGrid Real-time License Compliance/Usage
Tracking

• SoftGrid logs all usage and checks for compliance
  each time an application is requested
