Microsoft Virtualises Applications with SoftTricity

  • Article

Of all the demos I saw at TechEd IT Forum last week this was the one that made most of an impression on me.  I think SoftTricity has huge potential to make the life of an IT Pro easier.  A significant amount of the pain is caused by rolling out and managing applications in your IT environment is due to the interation between the app &/ many different versions of 'the app' with the operating system.  You know the story ...you roll out one app and it breaks another.

As appications are installed it changes the operating system.  Things get loaded in the registry, files are held on the operating system etc.

Well with SoftTricity there is no need for this!  Nothing gets loaded into the registry, nothing is held on the OS.  SoftTricity combines application virtualisation which allows software to run on a system without being installed on it at all as well as a streaming technology which enables on demand delivery of software (by streaming circa 20% of the app functionality to allow the end user to use it without it being installed).

Rather than me telling you about it why not watch The DEMOfor yourself.
