These discussion points may help position Application Streaming to your boardroom colleagues.
- Most organizations have grown up with using permanently installed PC applications, delivered to desktop PCs by one or more software distribution mechanisms. System managers typically prefer to use non-elective conventional software deployment to maintain standard desktop platforms to host these applications.
- Alternative architectures which require application processing power to be relocated into a server farm are still capital intensive, and unless desktop PCs are discarded and replaced by very thin client devices, the power consumption of the desktops is still there, as is the need to manage and maintain the desktop OS and its security.
- Other approaches to application virtualization are now under serious consideration in many organizations to see whether they can deliver a holy grail of maximum availability at minimum cost and infrastructure overheads.
- Application streaming does not attempt to do away with local desktop processing power. Nor in the case of Application Jukebox does it duplicate it in a server farm. Rather, it introduces a radically different way of delivering the required application software to the desktop, eliminating many of the administration overheads and license wastage associated with traditionally installed applications.

Solution Components in Vector Application Streaming
Application Jukebox is supplied as a standalone solution and does not require any other software. Further information on Application Streaming.
Complementary Solutions
Application Jukebox is often deployed together with Vector’s Software Distribution, and this price-discounted bundle is available as Software Provisioning Pro.
Organizations typically wish to base their adoption of application streaming on a foundation of knowledge of the way in which their application software is used. This information can be determined and monitored continuously from the software usage monitoring provided in the solution, and also the Asset Manager Pro solution. Both these solutions enable organizations to follow a process of Software Asset Optimization, and that process will reveal applications which could be prioritized for conversion to provision through streaming.
