• Enterprise-grade application virtualization for portable, isolated apps. Lenovo VMware ThinApp v.5.0 packages Windows applications into self-contained, portable executables that run on any supported Windows endpoint without requiring a traditional installation. This isolation prevents DLL conflicts, registry bloat, and software dependency issues, delivering consistent performance across devices and reducing configuration drift.
• 5-year OEM license for 100 client devices. This license is designed for mid-to-large scale deployments, enabling up to 100 ThinApp clients under a single entitlement. The OEM structure provides value-driven pricing and streamlined procurement through Lenovo’s channel, making it easier to plan and scale deployments without incremental licensing hurdles.
• Streamlined deployment and management for IT teams. ThinApp centralizes packaging, testing, and distribution of Windows apps. IT teams can create clean, portable packages that can be deployed quickly to endpoint fleets, minimizing rollouts, simplifying maintenance, and ensuring rapid updates across the organization while keeping the host OS untouched.
• Security, compliance, and reduced endpoint risk. By isolating applications from each other and from the host system, ThinApp minimizes security exposure and conflicts with other software. It also simplifies patching and version control, helping organizations maintain a compliant software environment with auditable deployment records.
• Comprehensive support and updates for five years. The subscription and support package includes technical assistance, software updates, and access to Lenovo/VMware resources for the full five-year term, ensuring you stay current with the latest features, security enhancements, and packaging improvements.
