Application Virtualization Assessments

Stratusphere Application Virtualization Assessment capabilities builds on Liquidware Labs’ already comprehensive approach to working with partners and organizations to assess and migrate companies to their next generation desktop strategy, including locally hosted or cloud-based VMware View and Citrix XenDesktop virtual machines.

The solution gathers complete data and usage metrics for existing installed applications in order to determine their fitness and complexity for application virtualization. The aggregate data is then delivered in easily understood, yet comprehensive, inventory, resource requirement, and usage reports that give adminstrators and management the exact information needed for decisions involving application virtualization and planning for solutions such as VMware ThinApp, Citrix XenApp, and Microsoft App-V.

Stratusphere’s Application Virtualization Assessment capabilities track and assess application data at several levels by first capturing a complete application inventory of assessed desktops, including laptops that are used offline. The solution then obtains detailed information on each application critical to determining its fitness and complexity for application virtualization including:

•Executable size
•System services installed and used per application
•Device drivers installed per application
•Total number of application users
•Average launch delay (application load time)
•Application usage (total and average time)
•Application resource requirements (total and average CPU, memory, IO)
•Application Graphics Intensity

Once the above metrics have been gathered, Stratusphere correlates the data and offers it to users in the form of a new One-Click Application Virtualization Target report that categorizes applications into Low, Medium, and High Complexity target groups. Detailed application inventory reports are also available that can be filtered by user groups (from AD/LDAP) or machine groups (locations, machine types).
