Application Migration and Updates

ATM machines. Nursing stations. Call centers. As applications become more central to business operations, IT organizations are increasingly concerned with application stability, reliability and availability. What happens when a bank’s main ATM application goes down? How do patients get the help they need if nurses can’t access the medical records? Disruption resulting from application migrations and updates can have a severe impact on quality of service and the bottom line.

Maximize Application Uptime During Migrations and Updates

VMware desktop virtualization solutions reduce downtime during application migrations and updates using isolation and encapsulation technologies. Now you can benefit from the most up-to-date technologies while saving IT staff time and hassle and reducing the financial impact of deploying new software packages or updates across your organization.

Make Your Applications Immune to System Overhauls

Agentless application virtualization isolates applications from each other and the OS to eliminate interoperability issues. IT staff simply copies over new applications to the users’ desktop images. With easy file-and-copy application distribution, there’s no re-installing, no log-in scripts and no break-fix calls to IT. The result is faster, more efficient updates and shorter test cycles, so users can start benefiting from up-to-date software, faster. Fewer support calls are necessary, reducing IT overhead.

VMware desktop virtualization solutions let you:

Isolate applications from each other and the underlying OS to eliminate conflicts.
Run applications side by side to ease conflicts during rollback, migrations and updates.
Eliminate downtime and keep applications running during updates.
Speed time to value of critical application updates.
Shorten test cycles by eliminating the need for compatibility testing.
Access new applications right away, without rebooting.

Ease Update and Migration Worries with Isolation and Encapsulation

Using isolation and encapsulation techniques, VMware enables swift, easy application upgrades and migrations. Conflicts become a thing of the past. Plus, badly behaving applications that can’t be virtualized using VMware solutions can be isolated so that they don’t interfere with the system. IT departments can even provide application updates to a USB device. These capabilities reduce the impact of updates in terms of related costs, maintenance and business continuity.
