microsoft application virtualization is an application virtualization and application streaming solution from microsoft. it was acquired by microsoft during the acquisition of boston, massachusettsbased softricity (softwarewow!) on july 17, 2006. softgrid represents microsoft's entry to a new avenue of virtualization product, alongside their existing hyperv package, microsoft virtual server, microsoft virtual pc, and other products newly announced in 2006, such as system center virtual machine manager, the latter of which is designed for "datacenter virtualization".overviewmicrosoft application virtualization platform allows applications to be deployed in realtime to any client from a virtual application server. it removes the need for local installation of the applications. instead, only the appv client needs to be installed on the client machines. all application data is permanently stored on the virtual application server. whichever software is needed is either streamed or locally cached from the application server on demand and run locally. the appv stack sandboxes the execution environment so that the application does not make changes to the client itself (os file system and/or registry). appv applications are also sandboxed from each other, so that different versions of the same application can be run under appv concurrently. this approach enables any application to be delivered without making any changes to its code lun.
