VAA Overview & Use Cases

Purpose of this document

AppZeroTM application virtualization software turns Windows and UNIX applications into discrete, movable objects called Virtual Application Appliances (VAA).  This document provides a high-level overview of AppZero's product as well as several of the most common use cases and associated benefits.

What is a VAA?

A VAA is a discrete object that:

1.    decouples an application from the operating system (OS) and its underlying infrastructure; and

2.    produces a set of files encapsulating an application with its dependencies (executable libraries/services, files, registry entries, configuration, machine, network settings).

The result is an application that is pre-installed and ready to run, but encapsulated with zero OS.  VAAs work with server side application stacks and should not be confused with the wide array of desktop virtualizations readily available in the market.
