VMware® ThinApp™ is an agentless application virtualization solution that decouples applications from their underlying operating systems to eliminate application conflict and streamline application delivery and management. ThinApp simplifies application virtualization and enables IT administrators to quickly deploy, efficiently manage, and upgrade applications without risk. With ThinApp, an entire Windows application and its settings can be packaged into a single executable and deployed to many different Windows operating systems without imposing additional cost and complexity to the server or client. Application virtualization with ThinApp eliminates conflicts at the application and operating system level and minimizes costly recoding and regression testing to speed application migration to Windows 7.
ThinApp virtualizes applications by encapsulating application files and registry settings into a single ThinApp package. IT administrators can deploy, manage, and update these ThinApp packages independently from the underlying operating system (OS). The virtualized applications do not make any changes to the underlying OS and behave the same across different desktop configurations, which provides a stable, consistent end-user experience, and ease of management.
As a key component of VMware View™, ThinApp adds smooth application management to your virtual desktop deployment. View is VMware’s virtual desktop offering, fully integrated with all of the advanced virtual infrastructure features of vSphere. You can manage and assign ThinApp virtualized applications in the same interface where you deploy and manage virtual desktops: the View Administrator console. Users access their View desktops from a wide variety of devices: from a Windows or Mac computer, from a Linux thin client or zero client, or from an iPad or Android tablet.
With ThinApp 4.7, administrators now have the capability of deploying ThinApp virtualized applications in Horizon Application Manager™. Horizon Application Manager is an enterprise-level, cloud-based application catalog and reporting mechanism that provides secure, managed user access to SaaS applications, federated web applications, and ThinApp virtualized Windows applications, all with a single sign-on using Windows Active Directory credentials. Horizon provides a new management platform for entitling, deploying, and monitoring ThinApp packages.

See the Mythbusting Presentation that Had VMworld Buzzing
Some things never change. Or do they? Every new VMware vSphere release changes the characteristics and performance of virtual machines. If you’re not up to speed, you’ll probably manage your environment on old, no-longer accurate information. The vMythbusters have collected the hottest virtualization topics discussed in virtualization communities, blogs and Twitter. Join expert virtualization blogger Eric Sloof and Virtualization Evangelist Mattias Sundling to see what happens when we put these topics to the test in our lab to determine if they are myth or truth.
