NVIDIA Virtual Applications (vApps) is a software solution designed for accelerated application streaming with Remote Desktop Sharing Host (RDSH) solutions, such as Citrix Virtual Apps and VMware Horizon vApps. According to the vendor, this product is aimed at small to large enterprises and caters to the needs of IT Managers, Digital Workplace Teams, Data Center Administrators, as well as Knowledge Workers, Creative, and Technical Professionals across various industries.

## Key Features

**Accelerated Application Streaming**: According to the vendor, NVIDIA Virtual Applications (vApps) enables accelerated application streaming with Remote Desktop Sharing Host (RDSH) solutions, including Citrix Virtual Apps and VMware Horizon vApps. Users can allegedly access any Windows app at full performance on any device, anywhere, ensuring a seamless user experience.

**User Experience Optimization**: The vendor claims that NVIDIA vApps software delivers an optimized user experience for the digital workplace, ensuring that teams can use their apps virtually without any loss in performance or productivity. By leveraging virtual GPUs, users can allegedly access their applications at full performance, regardless of the device they are using.

**Compatibility with Virtualization Platforms**: According to the vendor, NVIDIA vApps is compatible with all major hypervisor virtualization platforms, including Citrix Virtual Apps and VMware Horizon vApps. This compatibility allegedly allows data center admins to leverage the same management tools for their GPU-accelerated servers as they do for the rest of their data center infrastructure.

**Maximized GPU Utilization**: The vendor claims that with GPU sharing, multiple VMs serving as Virtual Desktop Agents (VDAs) can be powered by a single data center GPU, maximizing GPU utilization. This feature allegedly ensures that the available GPU resources are efficiently utilized, potentially reducing costs and increasing scalability.

**Flexible Deployment Options**: According to the vendor, NVIDIA vApps offers flexible deployment options, allowing organizations to choose the deployment method that best suits their needs. The software can allegedly be deployed on-premises in the organization's own data center or in a cloud environment. This flexibility enables organizations to tailor their deployment to their specific infrastructure and business requirements.

The NVIDIA GRID vAPPS option supplies virtualization to supply additional functionality to GPU intense apps.

Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, or XenDesktop) is a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)  and application virtualization solution from Citrix.

Virtual Apps

Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS, formerly 2X RAS), is application virtualization technology, billed as a solution to extend the life of legacy OS (like Windows XP) with its virtual desktop for any device.

Maltese company 2X Software developed the technology, but was acquired by Parallels (in Seattle, WA) in February, 2015 to extend their cross-platform support solutions.

Application support

Support for a wide range of applications and application types

Device support

Capable of delivering apps to wide variety of endpoints, including mobile devices

Ease of deployment

Level of difficulty installed on host servers

Application packaging

Ease of packaging 32 or 64-bit apps into single executable

Limiting access to apps by domain authentication, IP address etc.
