Another App Virtualization Solution Instead of ThinApp

Hello all,

Is anyone using a complete App Virtualization Solution other than ThinApp? I have heard of the following:

Symantec Endpoint Virtualization Suite (formerly SVS)

Microsoft App-V

Virtual Storm (DVS4VDI by Dinamiqs)

I would like to deploy virtualized app through streaming, but I am particularly concern with network bandwidth saturation, specifically when multiple users are accessing the same share.

I got on a WebEx demo with Virtual Storm and they basically told me that with their product, I would be able to reduce the base virtual desktop image to 1.2GB in size, because quote "With the DVS4VDI add-on Symantec Workspace Virtualization will be reading the applications form a centralized disk. So instead of having a FSLRDR directory on every image we share this with all the images." This essentially means that virtualized apps are streamed via SAN protocol and not over the network. Very cool concept! Does anyone have any experience with using DVS4VDI?

I suppose then Symantec SVS will only stream apps over network.

If I am to use VMware ThinApp, what is a good software management product, that I can use in conjunction with ThinApp, to deploy and manage all the virtualized apps?(i.e. Microsoft, Altiris, etc...)

Thanks,

Sang
