What advantages does AppZero’s OS-free application migration have over machine images?

  • When you move an application as an AppZero VAA, its image size will be 10-100 times smaller than as a machine image.  This difference in size makes network move times significantly faster using AppZero.
  • AppZero’s lighter application virtualization and isolation allows for a much higher density
    • Offers cost savings on hardware, software, and OS licenses
  • Target OS can be certified, hardened, etc.
  • Application state, configuration can be layered dramatically increasing reuse
  • Gold OS and gold App images can be dynamically composed
    • Reduces number of OS and Apps to manage, patch, certify, etc
    • Viruses can be dumped, cleansed via dynamic gold composition
