Flexera Software, provider of strategic Application Usage Management solutions for application producers and their customers, today announced the launch of AdminStudio Suite 10.
The new release is a comprehensive Application Readiness solution enabling organizations to strategically manage application packaging and remediation across their entire software estate, mitigating Windows 7 and application virtualization migration risks.
With as many as 35% of an enterprise’s applications requiring updates in any given year, coupled with the explosive growth in Windows 7 migrations and virtualization initiatives, compatibility assessment, remediation and packaging processes are now of strategic importance to IT organizations.
AdminStudio delivers application packaging efficiencies as much as nine times greater compared to manual efforts.
AdminStudio 10 lets users centrally manage and report on the virtual and traditional application portfolio for an overall view of the application estate’s readiness for each format.
A new, unified “application-centric” application catalog manages all deployment types for an application, enabling all packages, including virtual packages, to be handled with the same process and tools as those used for MSIs, eliminating the cost and complexity of having multiple solutions and repositories.
Moreover, AdminStudio 10 is now powered by the latest version of the world’s leading MSI authoring and editing tool, InstallShield 2011, giving users complete flexibility in editing packages using the same installation preparation tool relied on by more than 71,000 ISVs worldwide.
Today’s launch also includes enhancements to AdminStudio Virtualization Pack, which prepares reliable virtual applications for deployment with a complete set of suitability testing, automated conversion, validation, editing and management reporting capabilities.
Enhanced validation and conflict testing of Microsoft App-V packages supports packagers in managing both MSI and App-V with the same tool and processes to ensure a consistent, unified approach.
Packagers can also directly edit App-V packages, saving significant time and effort by eliminating the need to re-convert from an MSI when a change to an App-V package is required.
