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
