With the impending end-of-life for Microsoft App-V Server in April 2026, enterprises face a pivotal decision. While the sequencer and client continue in maintenance mode, the innovation engine behind App-V has effectively ended. The newer MSIX tech from Microsoft is good but the software vendors of the world typically do not build their apps in an MSIX format, therefore compatibility is severely limited. The answer lies in modernizing your application delivery platform—and that’s where FlexApp and ProfileUnity come into play.

The App-V Challenge and the Need for Modernization

Microsoft App-V has long been a staple for virtualizing applications. However, its approach and focus on full isolation, once essential, is increasingly outdated. Modern Windows operating systems—from Windows 7 onward—bring enhanced native compatibility, diminishing the necessity for full isolation. As App-V’s dim future is now clear, the need for a modern, agile, and efficient solution becomes more urgent than ever. Read on…but register for our webinar on the topic now!

Seamless Migration with App-V Import to FlexApp

FlexApp features a quick and easy App-V import capability that allows you to effortlessly migrate your existing App-V packages into FlexApp. This seamless transition preserves application functionality while unlocking a host of benefits that modern app management delivers. Watch a 2 minute demo here!

Modernization with FlexApp

FlexApp revolutionizes application delivery by dynamically attaching apps just in time or on demand. Key benefits include:

  • Fewer Base Images: Streamline your infrastructure with a reduced number of base images.
  • Rapid Disaster Recovery: Restore critical applications swiftly to minimize downtime.
  • Seamless Windows Migrations: Transition from Windows 10 to 11 effortlessly—no repackaging required.
  • Agile Updates: Update applications quickly to maintain a secure, current environment.
  • Micro Isolation: FlexApp incorporates micro isolation techniques that offer file and registry level conflict resolution. This advanced isolation is especially effective given that modern operating systems now inherently support application compatibility, rendering the traditional full isolation model less critical.

Comprehensive Management with ProfileUnity

  • Advanced Profile Management: Surpass conventional profile tools like FSLogix, ensuring consistent and secure user profiles.
  • Future-Ready Integration: Seamlessly onboard to modern platforms such as AVD, Windows 365, or even expand your Citrix environment—all with zero downtime.

Industry Endorsements and Integration

FlexApp’s leadership in modern application delivery is recognized by leading platforms and industry experts. For instance:

  • Citrix Integration: Citrix has embraced FlexApp by integrating it into Web Studio, enhancing their application delivery capabilities.
  • Microsoft Support: Microsoft has added support for FlexApp in Azure App Attach for AVD, underscoring its role in modern virtual desktop infrastructures.
  • Third-Party Validation: Our approach is backed by virtually all major third-party app testing and validation vendors, including Rimo3, Readiness, and IT Access Automation. This broad industry support confirms that FlexApp is not only innovative but also rigorously tested and trusted by experts.

The Strategic Benefits of a Modernized Application Delivery Platform

Adopting ProfileUnity and FlexApp is more than just a migration; it’s a strategic shift towards a more agile and resilient IT infrastructure. Enterprises can expect:

  • Operational Agility: Deliver applications precisely when needed, reducing resource waste and streamlining IT operations.
  • Enhanced Resilience: Enjoy rapid disaster recovery and minimized downtime by reducing dependencies on static base images and outdated systems.
  • Seamless Innovation: Benefit from modern platform integrations and advanced management features, like FlexApps on demand and automated packaging, that drive user productivity and IT efficiency.
  • Unified Management Experience: Simplify administration and reduce error risk with a consolidated management interface bridging legacy and modern application delivery.
