ABSTRACT:
This E-Guide from SearchWinIT.com and HP offers an introduction into the pros and cons of Software as a Service (SaaS) and desktop virtualization, offers definitions of key terms and should give the reader a solid understanding of when to choose these potentially conflicting technologies to achieve maximum benefit.
Application virtualization and streaming are two related technologies often associated with desktop virtualization. Application virtualization is when an application is encapsulated in a virtual container on the operating system, thereby avoiding management conflicts and upgrade problems associated with installing applications directly on the operating system. Streaming is when the application, though not necessarily all of the application, is packaged and streamed to the client.
