Application Virtualization is changing rapidly and there are a lot of different options on the market. The idea is you can package up the applications separate to the underlying OS and then run the anywhere, and so they aren’t going to be impacted as much by OS upgrades and patches. This is the sort of thing VMware ThinApp does and also Microsoft AppV. But there are a lot of other options and fortunately for us PQR has produced an infographic to explain it and this information is bought to you by the guys at Algiz, who run a small virtualization blog and alerted me to this cool way of visualizing the App Virt market.

Final Word

There you have it. The Matrix Version of the App Virt Market in a great smackdown. I would encourage you to view PQR’s original report, which is linked on the Algiz blog article.
