The minor differences between vendors and their capabilities often confuse our decision-making. Let us see how my blog helps in addressing these questions and more. Let us first understand what the different types of Application Models are. Traditional Application Deployment Session Hosted Applications (SHA) Application Virtualization (AV ) The application is installed locally on to individual desktops and laptops, either using manual or ESD methods The application is installed on the server and only the screen pixels, keyboard and mouse clicks are sent back and forth between the server and the client The application is separated from the OS, aka profiling, and installed in a virtual container.
