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.
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 provide a stable, consistent
end-user experience, and ease of management.
VMware ThinApp simplifies application delivery by
encapsulating applications in portable packages that can be deployed to many
endpoint devices while isolating applications from each other and from the
underlying operating system. Common use cases for ThinApp are:
• Simplify Windows 7 migration—Migrate legacy
applications that run on Internet Explorer 6 to 32- and 64-bit Windows 7
systems by packaging with ThinApp, to eliminate costly recoding, regression
testing, and support costs.
• Eliminate application conflicts—Isolate
desktop applications from each other and from the underlying OS to avoid
conflicts.
• Reduce desktop storage costs—Add ThinApp
packages to View desktops and leverage the View deployment to reduce desktop
storage costs and streamline updates to endpoints.
• Augment security policies—Deploy ThinApp
packages on “locked-down” PCs and allow end users to run their favorite
applications without compromising security.
• Increase mobility for end users—Deploy,
maintain, and update virtualized applications on USB sticks for ultimate
portability.

Agentless Application Virtualization
o
ThinApp requires no agent code on target
devices.
o
Entire applications and their settings can be
packaged into a single executable that runs independently on any endpoint,
allowing multiple versions or multiple applications to run on the same device
without any conflict.
o
Application packages run only in user mode, so
end users have the freedom and flexibility to run their preferred applications
on locked-down PCs without compromising security.
·
Fast, Flexible Application Packaging
o
Package an application once and deploy it to
desktops or servers (physical or virtual, 32- or 64-bit)running Windows XP,
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008.
o
Upgrade existing ThinApp executables to
incorporate new ThinApp runtime features quickly and easily without the need
for associated project files.
·
Fast, Flexible Application Delivery
o
Automatically apply updates over the web to
applications on unmanaged PCs and devices.
o
Deploy, maintain, and update applications on USB
storage drives and thin client terminals.
o
Virtualize legacy applications that are
supported on Windows 7 to 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 systems.
·
Seamless Integration with Existing
Infrastructure
o
Zero-footprint architecture
o
ThinApp creates standard MSI and EXE packages
that can be delivered through existing application deployment tools from
Microsoft, BMC, HP, CA, Novell, Symantec, LANDesk, and others.
o
Support for Active Directory authentication—Add
and remove ThinApp users from active Directory groups, and prevent unauthorized
users from executing ThinApp packages.

VMware has announced the end of availability (“EOA”) of VMware
ThinApp Client and Suite, effective on December 31st, 2013. No further orders for VMware ThinApp will be
accepted after this date. ThinApp
Customers with an active Support and Subscription contract will continue to
receive support and maintenance through the end of support life as specified in
the product lifecycle policies. ThinApp capabilities will still be available in
VMware Horizon View, VMware Horizon Mirage, VMware Horizon Workspace, and
VMware Horizon Suite. Read the FAQs for more information.
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 secure sign-on. VMware
Horizon provides a new management platform for entitling, deploying, and
monitoring ThinApp packages.
