Also known as "thin client computing," it may refer to a browser-based environment that uses a Web browser as the client with all applications running on a Web server on the Internet or in an intranet on the LAN. Environments Aurema Inc., the leading provider of workload management solutions for server and desktop optimization, and Softricity, Inc., provider of the SoftGrid application virtualization A smaller umbrella term within the larger umbrella term of "virtualization." It refers to several techniques that make running applications more protected, more flexible or easier to manage. See virtualization, network virtualization and storage virtualization. platform for centralized software management, today announced a technology alliance to help enterprises manage, streamline and optimize their computing infrastructures. The companies will work together to offer joint solutions for both real and virtual server and desktop environments, including Citrix MetaFrame deployments, where their complementary technologies deliver lower Total Cost of Ownership through improved utilization, application management, and server consolidation. The partnership is the direct result of strong demand from mutual customers and prospects across a broad range of desktop and server-based environments, including VMware(R) virtual server and Microsoft Terminal Services/Citrix MetaFrame deployments, for an integrated server-desktop solution that manages both resource contention and application conflicts, and removes the barriers to successful server and management consolidation. Designed to manage, control, and dynamically provision operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. resources, Aurema's ARMTech workload management solution significantly improves real and virtual server stability and performance, for optimized utilization, application availability, and Quality of Service. By monitoring, optimizing and dynamically allocating CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and memory, ARMTech controls system resource contention to prevent any application, process or program from adversely affecting the performance of another, ensuring increased stability and improved overall performance of real and virtual machines and desktops. With Softricity's SoftGrid Application Virtualization Platform, customers can further optimize server and desktop resources by running applications side-by-side without conflict and reducing the need for redundant "server silos." SoftGrid transforms Windows applications from products that must be installed and managed locally into virtual services that are centrally managed and deployed on-demand -- without any recoding Noun 1. recoding - converting from one code to another coding, steganography, cryptography, secret writing - act of writing in code or cipher -- to any desktop, server or laptop. With SoftGrid, applications do not write files directly to the operating system files, but instead redirects them to its virtual environment, Softricity's patented protective run-time environment (operating system) run-time environment - A collection of subroutines and environment variables that provide commonly used functions and data for a program while it is running. Compare run-time support. called SystemGuard(TM), which executes programs without altering the host computer. SoftGrid also uses Softricity's innovative on-demand delivery technology where applications are delivered in real-time, on an as-needed basis. The combined Aurema-Softricity solution can also be extended to Windows desktop users, who demand speed, efficiency and responsiveness from their machines, to improve stability, management, and performance across the entire computing infrastructure. "Workload Management is an important, mainframe-inspired technology for increasing server and desktop utilization and optimizing performance based on business requirements," said Simon Clephan, vice president of business development for Aurema. "Softricity's application virtualization capabilities deliver a core complementary solution to help enable consolidation in Windows server See Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows Home Server, Windows 2000 and Windows NT. and desktop environments. Customers are already using us side-by-side to improve the performance of Citrix MetaFrame servers and desktops, and we're pleased this new partnership will enable us to further extend that integration to virtual applications and machines." "We are pleased that our partnership with Aurema will help us meet customer needs -- not only in the server-based and desktop markets, but in the key emerging market of virtual machines and servers as well," said David Greschler, co-founder and vice-president of corporate marketing, Softricity. As an extension of the agreement, Aurema has joined the Softricity Certified Technology Alliance program, while Softricity has become a member of Aurema's Software Technology Partner Network.
