Easy to scale and maintain
The process was streamlined but didn't make our work simple. We encountered an issue with the person responsible for designing the website. They installed a plugin that disrupted the services and made the website inaccessible. We resolved the problem using the automatic backup preconfigured on the platform. The website was restored quickly, making it easy to address the user-created issue.

Overview

Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) enables you to make applications available to end users without installing the applications directly on end user computers. App-V transforms applications into centrally managed services that are never installed and don't conflict with other applications.

Numecent is a pioneer and technology leader in rapid, secure and friction-free provisioning of native applications from the cloud through virtualization. The groundbreaking Cloudpaging technology can deliver a native application from the cloud between 20x to 100x faster compared to a linear digital download and execute on the client platform without installation.

We are a software technology company, building software intellectual property and assets, as well as providing software and professional services for application delivery. Our primary customers are Enterprise Customers, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Numecent is based in Irvine, California.
