KACE, a systems management appliance company, today announced a new version of its application virtualization technology, KACE Virtual Kontainers.
New functionality, including easier patching and expanded application compatibility, positions the company at the forefront of application virtualization innovation and offers users an even easier to implement and maintain solution, leading to significant time and money savings.
Application virtualization, which allows users to run applications without the need for a traditional installation, is notoriously known for high-costs and complexity. KACE Virtual Kontainers 2.0, offered via a single, integrated Web-based console, provides users with an easier, faster and significantly less expensive alternative for creating, deploying and managing virtual applications.
This major new technology release includes considerable improvements in the areas of application compatibility and support for updating and patching virtual applications. And with the ability to publish applications via self-service user portal, KACE Virtual Kontainers 2.0 reduces administrative overhead even more.
KACE Virtual Kontainers 2.0 pushes traditional application virtualization technologies to a new level by extending the benefits beyond the features typically associated with these solutions. Some of the new features in the new KACE Virtual Kontainers release include:
- Improved application compatibility by way of a new signature update service which allows for KACE to respond more rapidly than any other application virtualization product when it comes to adding support for changes to Windows, middleware and challenging new applications;
- The ability to easily update, patch or modify an existing virtual application package directly, without the need to start over with each required change;
- Self-service user portal support so administrators can provide virtual applications via a simple Web-based interface, saving time associated with ad-hoc deployments and keeping user desktops uncluttered with software they do not need;
- Command line support for administrators that prefer to script operations themselves, including the ability to create a Kontainer package from the command line.
KACE Virtual Kontainers 2.0 is available immediately. Pricing starts at $3,995 per 100 computers. Volume discounts are available.
KACE saves its customers both time and money. Systems managers are increasingly forced to wear many hats throughout the day to work on a myriad of IT functions. KACE helps consolidate these functions by providing a single appliance for all projects, while delivering easy-to-use, comprehensive systems management that is affordable.
