There's a lot of discussion among technologists around VDI and application virtualization. But most of the discussions revolve around the administration of the technologies, the management functionality, and the cost of implementation.
One simple fact seems to be overlooked: if the user doesn't like it, the user won't use it.
Without user acceptance, IT help desk costs go up and productivity goes down. Low user acceptance is one reason why typical VDI and app virtualization deployments don't meet ROI expectations.
Application Jukebox is a different kind of streaming and virtualization tool. After it's installed, Application Jukebox delivers applications to users the way they're used to getting them. They can get them from their Start Menu, or their desktop, or by launching a document.
There's no need to access protected websites with interfaces that your users have to learn. The applications don't need to run in isolation, so they interact with each other—just like they are locally installed. And after initial setup and launch, the apps behave the same online or offline, whether your user is connected in the office or working in coach on an airplane.
Application Jukebox can stream applications that make other technologies choke. Adobe Photoshop? AutoCAD? Huge, complex custom apps? No problem! |
When we say that Application Jukebox runs any Windows application, we mean ANY. Why can Application Jukebox stream and virtualize large, complex applications while other solutions choke?
First of all, Application Jukebox runs apps in kernel mode, not in user mode. In user mode, more processing is required. Application Jukebox's apps run lower in the application stack, so fewer instructions have to be processed.
Most importantly, however, is that Endeavors has focused on streaming technology for over a decade and has been doing it longer than anyone else. Our technology cut its teeth on graphics-intensive, complex multi-player video games like Unreal Tournament. After successfully optimizing resource-hogging, visually rich games—which require a lot of real-time feedback both to and from the user – Adobe Photoshop felt like a walk in the park to our developers.
Finally, Application Jukebox uses integrated virtualization, which requires fewer leaps when packaging up applications. When there are fewer leaps to make, applications run the way they were designed to, instead of going through additional processes for isolation.
This all leads to a user experience virtually indistinguishable from running apps locally—not only in look and feel, but performance too.
With Application Jukebox, you can build an online store with your own applications. Application Jukebox comes with everything you need—just add your apps and start delivering them on-demand to your customers and users. |
Just add your own apps to Application Jukebox, and you can set up your own app store on your e-commerce site. Application Jukebox provides your users with a "token" that enables store management—it's compatible with any existing HTTP/S-based usage and enforcement policy or security measure. This means that you can charge for apps by the day, week, month, year—or offer perpetual licenses. You can access usage reports via standard database queries—whether you're generating reports or integrating your existing billing system.
Application Jukebox supports three kinds of application virtualization—isolated, integrated, or configurable—which means you can add more applications than any other solution. If you want to give your customers more than just web-based apps, you can add just about any Windows-based application to your app store to provide your customers with high value and compelling content.
Application Jukebox comes with embedded DRM support. You can monitor and track application usage, which allows you to bill accurately and enforce effectively. |
Just add your own apps to Application Jukebox, and you can set up your own app store on your e-commerce site. This can turn any Windows application you have into a SaaS application--you can charge for apps by the day, week, month, year.
Application Jukebox provides your users with a "token" that enables store management—it's compatible with any existing HTTP/S-based usage policy, billing mechanism, or security measure. This can help your organization turn the promise of cloud computing into revenue generation.
Application Jukebox supports three kinds of application virtualization—isolated, integrated, or configurable—which means you can add more applications than any other solution. Give your customers high value and compelling content--without re-engineering.
