The Softricity Desktop: Architectural Overview

The Softricity Desktop: Technologies

SoftGrid: Application Virtualization Applications are virtualized per instance: Files (including System Files) Registry Fonts.ini COM objects Services Applications do not get installed or alter the operating system Yet tasks process locally on the host computer.

How Applications are Virtualized: The SoftGrid Sequencer The Sequencer is a wizard-based tool that rapidly virtualizes applications without changing source code. Includes auto- detection of file types. Sequencer packages an application’s configurations and segments application code into a file placed on the server Sequencer file is placed onto one or more SoftGrid servers for on- demand deployment to desktops, laptops or terminal servers. With 4.0, can sequence Office in less than 10 mins.

SoftGrid: On-Demand Streaming of Virtual Apps Permission Based User clicks on desktop shortcuts – authentication, authorization and licensing checked every time users launch a SoftGrid application Centrally Served The first time the Server streams “just enough” code (20-40%) to client or TS machine. As more code is needed, it is dynamically delivered. Locally Executed App executes on desktop, laptop and/or Terminal Server, not on SoftGrid Server Cached for Performance App code is cached for repeat use – even without a network Disconnected Use Support Entire set of applications are cached for limited time before expiring

SoftGrid: Policy-Based Management for Users & Applications SoftGrid Management Web Service: central service for setting up, administering and monitoring all SoftGrid servers and applications. Assign application privileges via Active Directory Full license control for all applications Remote help – IT can connect to SoftGrid from any computer Active Upgrade – Roll out new applications without any down time Server Upgrades - One-click migrations of SoftGrid server configurations to other servers

SoftGrid: Integration into Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Virtualized applications are managed through the SMS Management Console Virtual applications are pushed from SMS server and/or streamed on- demand from the SoftGrid Server When target clients are inventoried by SMS, the virtual applications appear in the reports All the functionality of SoftGrid from within Microsoft SMS plus: Ability to push entire virtualized applications using SMS SMS asset management can detect virtual applications Application is virtualized via SoftGrid sequencer

SoftGrid: Real-time License Compliance/Usage Tracking SoftGrid logs all usage and checks for compliance each time an application is requested Ability to track usage for future software purchase decisions Ability to create a software audit of licenses in use Can also be accessed by business units using ZeroTouch
