Virtual Applications

Hello,

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction regarding virtual applications. We currently have some applications that require more resources (CPU, RAM) than our thick client workstations have. To resolve this in a quick manner we stood up a Windows 10 VM with 2 CPUs and 64 GB of RAM to which the user would logon and was able to run the application. Now we are getting more requests to have these VMs create so that other users can run this (and other) application.

I recall that there is a way to provide some sort or virtual application to where the application would be running on the back-end/VM hosts and the user would have a shortcut on the desktop of the their thick client workstation which would allow them to run the application from the VM Host without having to create a virtual machine for the user to logon to first.

Unfortunately I cannot remember what this feature was called and how to go about researching. Can someone tell me what this app/feature is called?

Thanks!
