Which applications can Server Application Virtualization virtualize as part of System Center 2012?

  • Artikkeli

Microsoft is prioritizing business applications such as ERP applications. As with Microsoft Application Virtualization for the desktop there is not a list of applications that Server Application Virtualization will support. 

However, there are a number of architectural attributes that the initial release of this technology has been optimized for. These attributes include:

  • State persisted to local disk
  • Windows Services
  • IIS Applications
  • Registry
  • COM+/DCOM
  • Text-based Configuration Files
  • WMI Providers
  • SQL Server Reporting Services
  • Local users and groups
  • Java

 

Applications that do not have these attributes may be supported in later versions. The following applications or architectural attributes will not be supported in V1:

  • Virtualization of Windows core component (IIS, DHCP, DNS, etc).
  • J2EE Application Servers
  • SQL Server
  • Exchange Server

So, today, we encourage you to download the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 Beta and give Server Application Virtualization a try against your existing applications!
