Liquidware, a leader in digital workspace management solutions,
is proud to announce that FlexApp now integrates with App attach in Microsoft
Azure Virtual Desktop. With FlexApp, Liquidware delivers an innovative and
adaptable solution for dynamically attaching applications.
Liquidware has closely collaborated
with Microsoft to ensure that FlexApp integrates seamlessly with the Azure
Virtual Desktop control plane through App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop,
enabling administrators to efficiently package, manage, and assign applications.
Packaged applications instantly appear
in the Azure Virtual Desktop management console for rapid deployment to users
or groups. FlexApp also boasts a long list of industry firsts, including
PackageOnce, integrated OAuth, fully automated packaging options, and
extensive integrations with third-party solutions.
Key Benefits of FlexApp for App attach in Azure
Virtual Desktop
- Streamlined Base Image Management: FlexApp and App attach in
Azure Virtual Desktop eliminate the need for large base images by
dynamically attaching applications, significantly reducing storage needs
and simplifying IT workflows.
- Seamless Updates: Applications can be updated
centrally without reinstalling, ensuring minimal disruption for users.
- Direct Azure Virtual Desktop Integration: FlexApp packages appear
within the same workflows as App attach packages and are managed and
assigned in the same way. Administrators can use existing scripts and
standard operating procedures to manage FlexApp just like App attach,
ensuring a consistent and efficient deployment experience.
- Cost Savings: FlexApp reduces operational costs by minimizing the
number of base images and enabling flexible, scalable application delivery.
- Enhanced Security: Integration with Microsoft Entra ID
and OAuth
ensures virtually any Windows app can quickly become secure and accessible
as a FlexApp, supporting Zero Trust principles.
- Micro-Isolation for App-V Use Cases: FlexApp's Micro-Isolation
technology also covers several use cases that were traditionally handled
by App-V, ensuring smoother application compatibility and conflict
prevention across environments.
Jason E. Smith, VP, Alliances and
Product Marketing at Liquidware, added: "FlexApp's seamless integration with App
attach in Azure Virtual Desktop empowers organizations to manage applications
without adding complexity for end users. FlexApp helps customers achieve
increased compatibility for attached apps. Our technology delivers apps that
feel native while reducing IT overhead, making it a game-changer for IT teams
and end users alike."
Scott Manchester, Vice President of
Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop at Microsoft, said: "Liquidware's FlexApp solution aligns
perfectly with our vision for App attach. By offering dynamic, easy-to-manage
application delivery, FlexApp simplifies the user experience on Microsoft Azure
Virtual Desktop, while allowing organizations to reduce costs and boost
productivity."
