Novell ZAV Reduces App Deployment Costs

Summary:
Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization makes short work of eliminating application conflicts on Windows desktops by isolating programs from the underlying OS.

ZENworks Application Virtualization (ZAV) still allows applications to interact with each other to enhance user productivity and the product is a worthy addition to Novell’s virtualization portfolio. IT managers who are looking to take the next step in reducing application deployment and operational costs should put ZAV on the list of application virtualization products to consider.

However, this is far from an empty playing field, and IT managers shouldn’t shy away from playing vendors off one another to get the best deal. Symantec Altiris SVS (Software Virtualization Solution), Microsoft Application Virtualization and VMware ThinApp 4 are all actively vying for attention.
