 Microsoft Application
Virtualization
Application Virtualization is a process
by which portability, manageability
and compatibility of applications are
improved by encapsulating them
from the underlying OS on which they
are executed.
 Application Sequencing
Application sequencing is the process
that takes an off-the-shelf Windows
application and prepares it for streaming.
This process consists of arranging the
application in such a way that the portions
of executable code needed first by the end
user are put at the beginning of the
sequenced file so they are the first to be
sent over the network. This includes
component files, DLLs and Registry
settings. It is important to note that the
application is not changed in any way.
 Application Publishing
Application Publishing is the process of
adding the sequenced virtual application on
the Microsoft App-V Server for the users to
stream and download.
 Application Streaming
Application streaming is the process of
caching the sequenced applications on the
client machines. The process is also known
as application delivery.

 App-V Client
App-V Client automatically sets up and
manages virtual environments for App-V
sequenced applications, publishes the
applications to the user's desktop, and
manages connections to the App-V Server.
The App-V Client stores user-specific virtual
application settings in each user's profile—
for example, registry and file changes.
