Application Virtualization
Cloud PC - App – Overview of Application Virtualization
Use the cloud to enhance employee productivity, without being held back by legacy applications or apps that need to run multiple instances simultaneously. Cloud PC – App is a simple, turn-key cloud solution. Think of it as an easier way to do app virtualization, as it is similar to app streaming. We call it App Publishing. Essentially, this means you can run any Windows application, just like you would on a traditional computer.
Cloud PC – App runs in the cloud on ATSG’s secure servers, and can be streamed to any physical or virtual Windows desktop or mobile device.
Cloud PC – App can be accessed from a Chromebook, Mac, Android, or Windows device. This means you can even access it from within a Chrome browser.
Why Application Virtualization with ATSG?
Many organizations have already made attempts at application virtualization, by using various tools and installing them. However, this is time consuming and cumbersome, and the project turns into an on-going support initiative. With Cloud PC – App, instead of virtualizing applications within an existing infrastructure, organizations save time and money. Below, you’ll see the benefits of virtualizing apps with ATSG.
Flexibility Beyond Most Virtualization Methods
The flexibility in our infrastructure and design help ensure quick application setup. Our Cloud PC – App is compatible with multiple systems, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Java/Web. Cloud PC – App can deliver applications to physical and virtual desktops, as well as to mobile devices.
Minimized Security Threats
At ATSG, we value your security, and make it a top priority. ATSG provides multiple layers of security, enhanced by dedicated firewalls, data encryption, A / V malware protection, and Equinix Tier 3+ secure data centers. We provide an ideal platform for virtual employees to access applications in a secure environment.
Transparency in Pricing
You get un-matched transparency with our flat-rate pricing. We have straight-forward subscription-based pricing, with no hidden fees, resulting in predictable bills.
Avoidance of Maintenance Costs
Hosting your virtual applications with ATSG can help you save costs. Cloud PC – App is significantly less expensive to roll-out and maintain, as compared to traditional app virtualization solutions. Running in the cloud means you avoid maintenance costs associated with running the infrastructure to power app virtualization initiatives.
Apple-friendly Access
Widen your user base by extending Internet Explorer and flash oriented sites to other device users, who can’t otherwise access a given resource with their Safari browser.
Simplicity
Avoid the headaches of virtualizing apps and building wrappers, or confronting compatibility issues. The cloud makes this a turn-key operation, minimizing complexity.

How Application Virtualization Works?
You won’t believe how simple it is to roll-out this service – simply begin with application installation, and conclude with application delivery!
Application Virtualization, and in particular, our Cloud PC – App publishing, consists of a server that will host and deliver the app to the user. The server is complemented with a secure environment, including SSL encryption, a firewall and SSL gateway. The service is supported by an Active Directory to manage access, and a connection broker to provide optimized access to the app. ATSG will assist with the setup of this environment, making it a turn-key solution for your organization.
