Avoid application conflicts that prevent concurrent applications from running, or alternate versions of the same application running on the same system, and reduce the need for pre-deployment testing.
Challenges
- Pre-deployment testing can take up to six weeks or more per application
- Some applications can only run safely on a separate system or VM from a user’s main system
- Troubleshooting applications, and cleaning and redeploying a fresh installation is time consuming and unreliable
- Multiple versions of applications cannot be installed simultaneously making migration difficult
- Virtualizing applications usually isolates the application, breaking required functionality and interoperability
