At Workspace IT, we have an Application Packaging team who are comfortable with all the leading technologies from the traditional Windows Installer MSI to AppV, MSIX and PSADT. However, one of our favourites is CloudPaging from Numecent.

Having been historically embedded in the higher education sector in the UK, the CloudPaging packaging technologies are now being recognised and breaking out into other industries and sectors. One of the main reasons – the claim that any application can be packaged is pretty much true. This is due to the unique way the technology can isolate or virtualize some part of an application and physically install others. The perennial problem of delivering device drivers as part of a virtual package is not a problem for CloudPaging. This is a major difference not to be overlooked when evaluating packaging tools.

In tandem with the CloudPager, which is Numecent’s application container management platform, you can easily and quickly deploy any application to a Windows desktop without installing it. The application can be a Cloudpaging app, AppV or MSIX and can be instantly updated or rolled back with no downtime or restarts.

This is particularly useful if you manage Virtual Desktops such as Citrix, AVD or Parallels – no need to have any applications in your base template or “gold image”.

Some benefits of Numecent’s CloudPaging and CloudPager technologies include:

• Accelerated deployment and management
• Simplified base templates and dynamic application delivery for VDI
• Improved compatibility and legacy software support
• Enhanced security and compliance
• Simplified application updates and patch management
• Optimised performance and end-user experience

Numecent’s innovative approach to application packaging through Cloudpaging revolutionizes software deployment by making it faster, more cost-effective, and more secure. Whether your organization is dealing with complex software rollouts, legacy application support, or the need for greater flexibility, Numecent CloudPaging provides a powerful solution that enhances efficiency while reducing IT overhead.
