Increase mobility for end users – Deploy, maintain and update virtualized applications on USB flash drives for ultimate portability.Augment security policies – Deploy ThinApp packages on “locked-down” PCs and allow end users to run their favorite applications without compromising security.

Reduce storage costs – Leverage ThinApp as a component of the Horizon Suite to reduce storage costs and streamline updates to endpoints.

Consolidate Session-based servers – Enable application streaming with user personalization to the ‘compute’ layer execute on Microsoft RDSH or Citrix XenApp servers.

For example, you can run Internet Explorer 6 seamlessly on Windows 7 alongside newer IE browsers.

Eliminate application conflicts – Isolate desktop applications from each other and from the underlying OS to avoid conflicts.

ThinApp enables you to eliminate costly recoding, regression testing and support costs.

Simplify Windows 7 migration – Use ThinApp to easily migrate legacy applications such as Internet Explorer 6 to 32- and 64- bit Windows 7 systems.

The virtualized applications do not make any changes to the underlying OS and execute across different configurations for compatibility, consistent end-user experiences and ease of management. VMWare ThinApp virtualizes applications by encapsulating application files and registry into a single ThinApp package that can be deployed, managed and updated independently from the underlying operating system (OS).

As a key component of the Horizon Suite, ThinApp adds application compatibility to the virtual workspace and helps to reduce the management burden of provisioning, patching and updating applications and images. Designed to eliminate application conflicts and streamline management, VMware® ThinApp® simplifies application virtualization and reduces the cost and complexity of application delivery.
