Thinstall

Thinstall is a client-less Application Virtualisation solution allowing any Windows application to be packaged, distributed, and executed as a single EXE on a host PC without installation or changes to the local desktop’s registry and file system.

Unlike other solutions, Thinstall requires no pre installed software on the client or server. Thinstalled applications can run from any device such as Desktop, LAN, WAN, USB Flash, etc. using the existing infrastructure.

"Thinstalled" applications run entirely in user-mode on locked-down PCs with no device drivers installed, enabling administrators to maintain a secure, clean, and stable user desktop.

Businesses require more and more applications operating together seamlessly and over time these systems have evolved into more complex and more fragile environments. The result is software deployments are increasingly expensive, support intensive, and time consuming. IT faces months of wasted time on multi-app regression testing, end-user support, and downtime caused by undiscovered application conflicts.

Reliable and readily accessible software to date requires endless planning and a great deal of ongoing support. In fact, according to Forrester Research, companies spend on average more than $500/year per desktop managing applications.

Thinstall Virtualisation Suite simplifies the application deployment cycle by eliminating regression testing and solving integration problems. Thinstall ensures conflict-free software deployments.

Thinstall acts as a thin Virtual Operating System (VOS) that merges a virtual system environment with the real system environment. Thinstall can transparently stream large applications from a shared network drive with no client or server software to install as well as run the application “off-line” on the PC.

The VOS works exclusively in user mode and requires no device drivers or preinstalled clients. It can run applications in managed and unmanaged Windows environments without requiring elevated security rights. Thinstall enables implementation of stronger security by allowing applications previously requiring admin rights to run on locked-down user accounts.

Thinstall protects the local PC against changes to the file system and registry for both custom developed and commercial office applications with no source code changes enabling true separation of application and OS.

Reduce time to deployment Thinstall reduces costs and accelerates IT deployment and business processes:

Significantly reduce regression testing costs: Applications can be deployed and run in independent sandboxes, eliminating the need for expensive and time consuming multi-app regression testing.

Greatly reduce the cost of maintaining secure locked-down desktops: Isolated application can run in restricted user accounts without requiring any host modifications.

Consolidate Terminal Server and MetaFrame servers: Thinstall reduces the need to create machine silos for specific applications due to conflicts or security.

Accelerates software development: Enables developers to use the latest runtimes, frameworks, and libraries instead of being restricted by shared components that are not backwards compatible with older applications.

Enhances work-force mobility, business continuity and disaster recovery: Applications can be run offline directly any external media including USB Flash, CDROM, and unattached laptops.
