MDOP 2014 R2 is focused on application and settings virtualization with the release of App-V 5.0 SP3 and UE-V 2.1.
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V 5.0 SP3)
App-V makes it easier for IT departments to deploy across a fleet of devices by allowing “anywhere access” to virtualized applications on any authorized PC without requiring that the application be installed directly on said machine. The latest version of App-V 5.0 SP3 builds on these solutions by adding the following new features, some of which were developed based on direct feedback from App-V’s extensive customer base:
- App-V Management Improvements
- Streamlined virtualized Office Deployment
- Performance Updates
User Experience Virtualization (UE-V 2.1)
App-V is not the only critical component of our virtualization story. UE-V, an on-premise solution that captures and centralizes application and Windows settings for users across each of their devices, enables users to change devices without reconfiguring their application or OS settings. UE-V is a simple and versatile way for IT professionals to control which applications and OS setting groupings should have their settings roamed. UE-V also easily integrates with and scales through existing tools and management infrastructure, including System Center. This latest version, UE-V 2.1, continues to deliver on these focus areas by delivering:
- Support for Windows credentials roaming
- Backup and Restore of settings
- Support for external settings storage, including OneDrive for Business
- Extensions to existing Office 2013 settings support
