How Microsoft App-V Makes Client Virtualization Just A Simple Task

Microsoft App-V speeds application deployment by eliminating the need for apps to be installed locally on each client. By streaming software through a centrally managed service, the product enables IT managers to assign and manage apps through Active Directory.

App-V can aid new PC rollouts or Windows upgrades and minimizes conflict between applications, even enabling users to run multiple versions of the same application. The product preserves apps and user settings whether users are online or offline. What’s more, App-V can help IT departments get users the tools they need to do their jobs faster.
