1 The Softricity Desktop 4.0 Virtually Anything is Possible™ Name Jose Manuel Vega Title ESCALATION ENGINEER A wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation

2 Softricity’s Mission Softricity enables software to be as instantly available and easy to use as electricity

3 Softricity Overview What Softricity Does: Softricity is the only virtualization company to deliver applications that are never installed, yet securely follow users anywhere, on-demand, making IT highly productive while dramatically reducing costs Employs unique, patented technologies: Application Virtualization, On-demand Streaming Delivery and Policy-based Management Saves enterprises over 80% in application management costs, 30% in help desk costs, and enables a four- fold increase in user up-time “Virtualization will replace traditional imaging and software distribution at the desktop.” A wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft Corp. Sales & support offices in North America; EMEA office in Netherlands Products: The SoftGrid® Platform and Softricity ZeroTouch™ Softricity’s Customers: Customers: 500+ worldwide including AIG, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cox Communications, e*Trade, Merrill Lynch, Northeastern University, Prudential, Raytheon, Sanofi-Aventis and Suncor Energy

5 Accelerate the time to market and reduce the costs of getting applications to users the moment they need them Powered by Application Virtualization & Streaming Delivery The Softricity Desktop Cost Reducing Available Anywhere Intelligently Managed SecureInstantly On

6 The Products For The Softricity Desktop The SoftGrid® Platform The Engine Application virtualization On-demand delivery Centralized, policy-based application management & software asset tracking Softricity ZeroTouch™ The Front End Availability to applications from anywhere via browser and/or desktop Self-service IT: End-user self-service application provisioning with automated workflow Business-unit software usage reporting Real-time, intelligent application deployment Three Versions: SoftGrid Universal Desktop SoftGrid for Systems Management Server (SMS) SoftGrid for Terminal Servers

7 The Softricity Desktop: Architectural Overview

8 The Softricity Desktop: Technologies

9 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.

10 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.

11 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

12 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

13 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

14 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
