Can ThinApp execute apps remotely in the same way XenApp can? posted: Nov 5, 2009 1:30 PM

Hi there

New to ThinApp and trying to understand how we might use it to stream applications to desktops from our storage platform


In streaming execution mode does the applciation still execute on a local machine (i.e in memory). In that will the client still require all firewall rules to allow the application to see its back end database?


If we wanted to avoid this and execute the application remotely what would be the best way to do this without streaming the whole desktop (VDI?)

When you are using what we call a streaming deployment method (ThinApped packages executed from a network share) it will execute on the client. It is the client who is establishing the network connection an application needs.


If you want to have the execution occur on a central server instead I would take a look at View or Terminal Server (ThinApp works great in these environments as well).

VMware do not.. Windows Server 2008 has something called remote applications I think. It is something similar.
