AppStream 5.0
Saturday, 05 August 2006 by Michel Roth
AppStream announced the availability of AppStream 5.0. The company also announced a promotional offer for a limited time that allows customers to qualify for free extending maintenance by signing up for an online demonstration at www.appstream.com.

AppStream allows any Windows application to be distributed or "streamed" to a PC, then executed by the end user without the need for local software installs. This technique known as application streaming, delivers application bits on demand, and ensures the application behaves as if it were installed using conventional methods (i.e.: CD ROM install).

AppStream 5.0 further helps organizations reduce IT costs and labor associated with distributing and managing applications to the desktop. AppStream makes it possible for IT teams to instantly distribute software like Adobe PhotoShop and Microsoft Office. Additionally, AppStream serves as an automated license management platform which enforces license compliance, helps IT administrators prevent piracy and optimizes the use of software assets. Finally, AppStream offers third party software virtualization support for its customers, giving them extraordinary levels of flexibility for streamlined application delivery. AppStream 5.0 supports application virtualization solutions from best-of-breed vendors like Thinstall.
