"This major update to Virtual Application Studio delivers powerful new application delivery and management capabilities to systems administrators," said Kenji Obata, Code Systems founder and chief executive officer. "Xenocode virtualization provides an easy, affordable method for IT professionals to reduce application support and maintenance costs while improving their users' desktop experience and productivity."

Xenocode Application Virtualization frees applications from the operating system

Xenocode is a powerful virtualization technology that separates applications from the underlying operating system. Unlike traditional hardware virtualization solutions that duplicate an entire host operating system, Xenocode's lightweight application virtualization technology emulates only core operating system features required for application execution. "Xenocoded" applications require no setup, configuration, clients, or device drivers, are insulated from application and component conflicts, and run seamlessly on Windows Vista and locked-down desktops.

Xenocode-virtualized applications can be deployed over the Internet, intranets, USB devices, and existing desktop management infrastructure, including Active Directory, Microsoft SMS, LANDesk Management Suite, and BMC Configuration Management. Xenocode technology has been licensed by Novell and is available as part of Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization.

The Xenocode Virtual Application Studio authoring environment allows software developers and systems administrators to easily convert existing Windows-based applications into virtualized applications ready for instant deployment using Xenocode.
