Softricity Releases SoftGrid 4.0 And Announces Membership Of Blade.org
Tuesday, 25 April 2006 by Michel Roth
Softgrid 4 has been officially released: Softricity today announced the immediate availability of SoftGrid 4.0, designed to make virtual applications easy to create, deploy, manage and use. With SoftGrid 4.0, enterprises can virtualize any Windows application and make it available to computers worldwide within minutes, while supporting end-users with new remote help features that further reduce application management costs.

The advances in SoftGrid 4.0 are based on thousands of hours of development, combined with feedback from hundreds of customers and partners who have been using Softricity since 2001 to virtualize over 25,000 applications and deploy to hundreds of thousands of end-users.

SoftGrid 4.0 turns locally installed Windows applications into virtual network services that are centrally managed and deployed on-demand – without any recoding – to any desktop, server, laptop or virtual machine. With the new version, Softricity's patented, award-winning application virtualization technology more easily enables applications to run in a protected "sandbox" environment without installation or alteration to the host operating system, and without conflicting with any other applications. This is combined with Softricity's streaming technology, which sends only the minimum code needed (often less than 15%) to run applications on the client machine. The result is the transformation of installed software into on-demand, available-anywhere services that solve a wide range of previously debilitating IT challenges inherent in application deployments, testing, security, help-desk support and business continuity.

Softricity also announced it is a member of Blade.org, an open community dedicated to developing next-generation technologies for blade computing, the world's fastest growing server market segment.

SoftGrid 4.0 adds new features that significantly extend the value of customers' virtual application environments.
