Over the years, IT organizations have developed a ton of web apps for specific browsers or plug-ins that may now be outdated or vulnerable to security threats. Even web browsers that remain viable pose some of the same issues as any other standard desktop application.

Because of this, application virtualization has come into play. It offers a way to realize the many benefits of web-based apps without the drawbacks.

By virtualizing a web app on a single browser version, implementing configuration, and then delivering it the same way to every user, IT departments can solve compatibility issues while enhancing security and manageability.
