Desktop Pool or ThinApp?

We've been using Desktop pools for quite some time now, mostly for WAN linked offices or remote users to access a VERY chatty database application which won't be rewritten for some time.  This works great because users run the desktop pool from the same LAN where Oracle RAC resides.  I looked into Thinapp very briefly in the beggining, but have possibly missed out.  I'm trying to see if there's a way I could be running a Thinapp of the application instead.  My question for those that have had experience with Thinapp is, can you create a Thinapp that would run an application from the "server"?   Where does it benefit to use Thinapp versus a desktop pool?

Thanks for any help!

We have several applications that we deploy in the same manner as you.  In your situation the only options to keep the traffic local are to run the thingapp from a VDI desktop or a Terminal Server pool.
