Installations and updates of ThinApp packaged applications are easy, too. What Else Can ThinApp Do for My Implementation? But using software such as VMware ThinApp to package applications allows applications that would otherwise conflict with each other to be executed side by side on the same XenApp application server. With Citrix XenApp, applications that might conflict with each other must be isolated with hardware, which means the conflicting applications need to be located on different XenApp server silos.
Changes that the application makes to the file system and registry are contained within a user-owned sandbox, and neither the host operating system nor any other application can detect the ThinApp packaged application. But with ThinApp virtualization, you can have complete isolation of a ThinApp packaged application from other applications and from the host operating system. ThinApp virtualizes Windows applications. With ThinApp added to your XenApp environment, you are able to run both Office 20 on the same XenApp servers, reducing the amount of XenApp infrastructure required. This strategy requires additional hardware for proper load balancing and redundancy. For example, separate XenApp farms and servers have to be created to support both Office 2010 and Office 2013. But Citrix isolates applications from each other via XenApp silos. Users share centrally located applications and the operating systems they run on, and then use the remotely displayed applications on endpoint devices. XenApp is an application presentation solution. ThinApp and XenApp-Two Parts of the Same Solution But did you know that using your current XenApp implementation with ThinApp solves many of your existing problems? Let us look at ThinApp and XenApp together and how, in partnership, they offer a powerful advantage over XenApp alone. Did you catch that? There is a lot of information out there about using either Citrix or VMware solutions. Why not maximize the return on that investment by using XenApp with VMware ThinApp? Paired, the two solutions solve many of the problems of a XenApp implementation on its own. You already have a Citrix XenApp implementation, and it is working for you.
