DROPLET COMPUTING CONTAINER APP FOR LINUX
Delivering Windows applications to Linux platforms, both online & offline
With the Droplet Computing Container App for Linux, an organization can easily take their existing and legacy Windows apps, install them into the container (no complicated packaging required), and deliver them to the end user securely.
Why is this important to an organization? It may simply be that the app doesn’t have a native Linux version, and if it does then it doesn’t have the full features and functionality that the native Windows version has. For example, you can deliver native Microsoft Office apps, including Visio or Visual Studio, locally to the Linux device with the ability to launch and run the apps without needing to be online, yet maintain the familiar Windows end user experience.
Centralized cloud delivery, local execution:
Droplet Computing containers require very little in the form of infrastructure, as the containers are delivered to the local device using your current deployment methods. As the container runs locally there is no requirement for large back-end servers or storage, you just need a file server on which to store your ready-built container images ready for deployment to end users.
Enhanced end user experience:
Droplet Computing containers deliver an easy to navigate ‘app launcher’ workspace user interface, with the end users applications displayed as ’tiles’ for them to just simply click and run.
Simple application installation:
Installing an app into the container image is a simple IT admin task. They simply point the container to the installer file for the app they want to install and follow the standard installation steps for that app. There is no complex packaging, sequencing, or virtualization required. It’s simply a “next, next, finish” approach.
Run non-native applications:
By containerizing your Windows apps, you can now run them on Linux devices unchanged, maintaining a familiar end user experience
Application portability:
Once containerized, apps will work cross-platform meaning you can switch between devices without having to rebuild or reinstall your apps. This means you can use the same container image on macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms.
