Application Virtualization Market: Segmentation, Trends and Forecast 2016 – 2024

Application Virtualization Market: Overview

Application virtualization is a technology that isolates applications installed in the primary operating system (client computer) from other end-user computer or target computer without having to install the application directly on the end-use computer. The entire procedure is carried out by the process called sequencing the application, which enables the application to run on the self-structured environment at the client computer. The application files, settings and configuration is copied to the target device and the execution of the application is undertaken by the application virtualization layer.

Virtualization layer replaces the part of runtime environment provided by operating system and captures all the disk operation from the client side redirecting it over the target system. During application execution process there exists a real time interfacing between the target computer and the operating system controlled at the client end. Application virtualization mainly translates the machine code of the application to be executed into newly acquired operating system’s machine code on the target system at the user end. The entire operation is carried out by four vital modules which includes graphics interface, hardware interface, input/output interface, and library functions interface.

Application Virtualization Market: Key Growth Drivers

With recent trends and technical advancements there has been wide scale adoption of cloud based services termed to be the third platform of computing such as software as a service, platform as a service, and infrastructure as a service. Common internet file system (CIFS) which is mainly used to provide access to serial ports, files, printers and others and which acts as a communication channel between nodes on a network has started being implemented on third platform.

This technical conveyance has become one of the major driving factors for the application virtualization...
