LANDesk Application Virtualization
LANDesk Application Virtualization helps you to distribute and run a needed application without ever having to install it. It saves your enterprise time, money and IT hassle. LANDesk Application Virtualization lets you provide conflict-free access to the applications employees need while maintaining secure, clean, stable desktops and improved control over your systems. You can run multiple applications on individual machines without making changes to client systems or installing agents or device drivers.
LANDesk Application Virtualization Features
LANDesk Application Virtualization does not require preinstalled client software and can be run from any LAN, WAN, USB, CD-ROM drive and more, with zero-footprint on the host PC. You can deliver fully tested applications the first time, improving user satisfaction while minimizing application conflicts and support and regression-testing costs. Plus you can reduce OS migration risks with true isolation for testing applications and operating systems—including Microsoft Vista—before you implement anything. What’s more, the power to transparently run applications in user-mode on locked-down PCs helps boost enterprise security
The key benefits of LANDesk Application Virtualization
- Fully integrated with the award-winning LANDesk Management Suite
- Save time with easy, client-less, conflict-free application deployment and rollback
- Cut costs for support and regression testing by delivering fully tested applications to users—the first time
- Improve user satisfaction by minimizing application conflicts and other problems
- Reduce infrastructure requirements and costs with no client or server components to manage or maintain
- Improve enterprise security with the power to transparently run applications in user-mode on locked-down PCs
- Minimize OS migration risks and hassles—including for Microsoft Vista—with true isolation for testing before you implement.
LANDesk Application Virtualization uses a clientless application virtualization architecture that allows applications to be run from any LAN, WAN, USB, CD-ROM drive, etc., with zero-footprint on the host PC.
Key differentiators
LANDesk Application Virtualization offers:
- True isolation - The virtualized applications, packaged into simple EXE files, are isolated from the host PC and run exclusively in user mode. Ensures seamless execution on locked-down desktops with no device drivers installed, enabling administrators to maintain a secure, clean and stable user desktop.
- Instant zero-footprint deployment delivers faster results - applications load and initialize in a fraction of a second.
- Transparent application streaming - Can stream large applications transparently from a shared network drive, with no client or server software to install, as well as run applications “off-line” on the PC without installation or changes to the local desktop’s registry and file system.
- Windows Vista support - Portable across all Windows operating systems, easing the burden of migrating to Windows Vista by enabling you to run applications on Vista machines, even if the application itself isn’t compatible with Windows Vista.
- Improved security - Applications run entirely in specific user-mode sandboxes on locked-down PCs with no drivers required; helps you maintain secure, clean, stable user desktops.
- Integration with LANDesk Management Suite - lets you package and deploy virtualized applications to thousands of computers in under an hour and easily inventory users’ virtual applications.

LANDesk Host Intrusion Prevention System
LANDesk Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) layers added security to thwart malicious attacks and rootkits. The solution uses application control that prevents applications from executing in malicious ways right on your individual host systems. Use LANDesk HIPS to extend the power of LANDesk Security Suite or LANDesk Patch Manager and LANDesk Antivirus or use it with Symantec antivirus or McAfee Enterprise. Access everything you need for the most complete, layered LANDesk Security solution available.
- Single-console control
- Protection against malicious behaviors—not just known files
- Application control
- Added protection
Single-Console Control
Take advantage of a single management console to install, configure and manage host-based intrusion prevention features for all enterprise systems. Quickly and easily perpetuate to host systems enterprisewide the learned behaviors blocked on an individual host.
Protection Against Malicious Behaviors
Thwart malicious attacks with application blocking that prevents applications from executing in malicious ways right on your individual host systems. LANDesk Host Intrusion Prevention System enables your systems to recognize malicious writes and modifications to the registry to stop malware from running at reboot. And it allows IT to lock down the registry unless or until writes are approved by the IT administrator.
Application Control
In addition to application blocking in LANDesk Security Suite, use LANDesk Host Intrusion Prevention System to make a whitelist of applications allowed to run on systems. Provide IT precise control over the applications that can run on enterprise systems and how those applications are allowed to execute. Prevent disguised, new and/or unknown malicious applications from slipping past your security defenses, and use flexible configurations to create and manage different whitelists for various users and groups.
Added Protection Against Rootkits and More
LANDesk Antivirus detects known rootkits in real-time. Add LANDesk Host Intrusion Prevention System for even greater protection against stealth rootkits. Prevent stealth rootkits with control over whether or not applications can execute other applications on a host. And use kernel-level network filtering to define an application’s executable files and what is and isn’t acceptable network behavior. Also use LANDesk HIPS to certify whether or not certain applications or files can bypass some or all of its built-in protections. And prevent non-certified processes from injecting into certified processes and obtaining authorization attributes illegally.
