V mware thin app 4.5 what_s new presentation
- 1. © 2009 VMware Inc. All rights reserved VMware ThinApp 4.5 Product Overview and Technical Discussion
- 2. Agenda Application virtualization Whats New with ThinApp 4.5 Helpful Design Guidance Q & A
- 3. X86 Hardware Machine Virtualization Operating System 3 • Virtualization breaks the bond between each layer • Allows IT to manage each layer separately • Users can pick HW and apps while still locking down desktop • Supports server hosted desktops and PCs Building the Composite Desktop Application Virtualization Application User/Profile
- 4. How ThinApp Works • Application encapsulation and Isolation • Intercepts file and system calls • Process Loading- start exe from VOS, Launch from host OS (Virtual/Physical). • DLL Loading. loads DLL dependencies the EXE/DLL/OCX files from archive • Thread and process management. VOS tracks all processes and threads inside virtual registry (COM & Utility) Vmware Thinapp Links the Application, Virtual Operating System (VOS), File System and Registry into a Single EXE MSI File Windows Operating System ThinApp Secure Compressed Container (EXE) Virtual OS Application Registry Access File Access Virtual Registry Virtual File System Virtual Registry Virtual File System
- 5. The VMware ThinApp Solution Agentless architecture • Single file – EXE, MSI • No installation or changes to registry • Zero management required on end point device Seamlessly fits into any environment • No streaming server hardware or software needed • Plugs into any existing management framework Run Virtually Any Application from Any Device • Desktop, USB, flash, terminal services, Citrix • Any windows application – simple to complex • Supporting components can be run side by side (java, .Net) Ensuring security without compromising user flexibility • User-Mode execution • Virtual Registry protects underlying host OS • No device drivers installed on underlying OS
- 6. ThinApp 4.5 what’s new Full Windows 7 support Virtualize legacy apps on older Windows platform for deployment to Windows 7 Performance Accelerator Reduced page file usage and increased memory sharing for faster delivery at reduced bandwidth consumption Relink Upgrade existing ThinApp packages without the need of application project files Registry Transaction Protection Ensure registry file integrity and eliminate potential data corruption due to crash or system failure ThinApp SDK Published APIs to allow for integration of ThinApp with third party softwareEnhanced Supportability Customers have option to share packaging results with VMware for better support…. ThinApp Community Portal Users can upload application instructions and share with the community
- 7. Begin Windows 7 Migration with VMware ThinApp • Assess application compatibility • Identify and prioritize application requirements • Virtualize applications using ThinApp
- 8. OS Migration phases – Physical to Virtual Application Virtualization Desktop Virtualization Operate Assess and Plan Data Setting and Preservation Application migration and Compatibility Master Image Build Test & Deploy Accelerate delivery of application compatibility • Eliminate costly application recoding • Minimize time-consuming regression testing Simplify deployment with virtualized desktops standard application and desktop images • Faster to deploy, less down time • Centralize control and application delivery • to end point devices
- 9. Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 Support • Full support for the following Windows operating systems at the same level as Windows XP and Windows Vista Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) Windows Server 2008 R2 • New applications captured on older platforms (XP or Vista) can now run on Windows 7/Server 2008 • Windows 7/Server 2008 can also be used to capture new applications Best practice: Capture platform <= Deployment platform
- 10. Seamlessly Upgrade Packages with the Relink Tool • The Relink Tool upgrades the ThinApp runtime inside a package Ie. Relink with ThinApp 4.5 to support Windows 7 • Relink does NOT require the original project directories and can be run against an entire directory of packages. • Preserves the original ThinApp package contents as .bak files ***Make sure you have plenty of disk space • Relink supports wildcards and recursion relink [-Recursive] <path_to_package>*.exe *.dat *.msi Examples relink –recursive c:Thinapps*.exe relink AdobeReader.exe
- 11. Performance Accelerator • In ThinApp 4.5 customers will experience significant performance improvements, especially noticeable in VDI environments utilizing shared storage Shorter application startup time and lower network bandwidth consumption Lower disk IOPs, reduced memory consumption and page file usage • Implemented with a new package.ini parameter OptimizeFor= Memory Streaming Improvements from ThinApp 4.0.4 to 4.5 Launch Time (sec) Mem Used (MB) Network Payload (KB) Excel -46.4 % -57.8 % -42.0 % Word -23.5 % -88.7 % -38.9 % PPT -34.5 % -35.6 % -36.6 % Outlook -48.3 % -57.7 % -38.9 % Adobe -20.5 % -0.7 % -44.1 %
- 12. Setup Capture Changes • A number of changes were made to the Setup Capture wizard to improve usability and the customer experience • Context-sensitive Help, and Help buttons were also added to most screens of the wizard
- 13. Enhanced Support Ecosystem Implemented by radio button option in Setup Capture wizard (Optional) Enhanced Packaging Support • Shares application packaging results and errors ie. App name and version • All data collected is anonymous and only used in aggregated form • Application ‘Recipes’ available ThinApp Communities Forum and Contribution Portal http://communities.vmware.com/c ommunity/vmtn/entdesk/thinapp
- 14. VMware View and ThinApp Integration Guide 14 Confidential Persona User Data Application Settings User Profile The Integration Guide provides • Comprehensive design considerations for building the Composite Desktop which pairs persistent user profile, user data, and application settings with a stateless desktop OS • Scenario Based Examples • Sample Script and Screenshots • Integration without dedicated server infrastructure VMware View 4 and ThinApp Integration Guide
- 15. Why customers choose ThinApp 15 No infrastructure required Low cost to adopt, faster to rollout Low cost to adopt, faster to rollout Agentless architecture Seamlessly fits into any existing ESD or process Plugs into any environment
