Conclusion

Things are changing in the business IT market. For a long time, the unstoppable growth of IT infrastructure in companies made the life of many a system administrator very frustrating, forcing them to spend a large amount of time troubleshooting, patching, installing, and reinstalling software. Every new piece of software can create new problems, with a seemingly infinite number of configurations; getting everything to "play together nicely" can be a truly daunting task.

How can we be certain that a piece of software will not cause trouble on our network, how can we monitor the used applications more closely, and how can we distribute our tested software to all of the client PCs in an efficient manner? These questions relate to the many problems that application virtualization solutions attempt to solve.

The fact that quite a few major software developers have moved into this field means we may finally see changes here, and the current competition will undoubtedly force every solution to strive for the best possible user experience. We're very excited to watch as the situation unfolds, and we'll definitely be keeping you up to date with further developments.

Application virtualization is on the move, and we are optimistic about its future. We hope this article was able to provide the interested with a good introduction to its possibilities.
