We’re excited to announce our close collaboration with Microsoft to extend their App attach solution with integrated FlexApp dynamic application delivery.

The Liquidware collaboration with Microsoft combines the expertise of both companies to transform how applications are delivered and managed in virtual environments, offering a modern alternative to legacy technologies. Liquidware plans to deliver the functionality in FlexApp v6.8.7 later this month. Watch the joint solution demo here!

Key Benefits of FlexApp for App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop
Liquidware’s integration of FlexApp with App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop brings significant benefits to IT teams:

  • Effortless Image Management: By dynamically attaching applications, FlexApp and App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop reduce the need for large base images, streamlining IT workflows and saving storage space.
  • Centralized Updates: FlexApp and App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop enable centralized updates to applications without requiring reinstallation, minimizing downtime and enhancing the user experience.
  • App-V Migration Support: Microsoft has extended support for App-V through April of 2026. FlexApp and App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop offer an easy migration path, allowing organizations to preserve their investments while transitioning to modern technology.
  • Advanced Security: FlexApp Integration with Microsoft Entra ID and OAuth supports Zero Trust principles, helping to ensure secure application deployment.

Liquidware and Microsoft Collaboration
Microsoft played a pivotal role in guiding this collaboration with Liquidware to deliver a modern and adaptable approach to application delivery for Azure Virtual Desktop.

Joint customers can now enjoy seamless management of FlexApp applications by directly leveraging the Azure Virtual Desktop App attach assignment feature in their Azure portal, enabling IT teams to efficiently manage and deploy applications.

Scott Manchester, Vice President of Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop at Microsoft, said: 
“Liquidware’s FlexApp solution aligns perfectly with our vision for App attach. By offering dynamic, easy-to-manage application delivery, FlexApp simplifies the user experience on Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, while allowing organizations to reduce costs and boost productivity.”
