The patented, proven AppStream Management Suite offers virtual delivery, virtual execution and rule-based management for applications, serving end-user systems on the LAN, WAN and Internet from a central management console. AppStream's pull-based, on-demand software distribution platform combines the benefits of server-based computing (self-service access and centralized management & control) and distributed PC computing (disconnected application use and distributed processing), providing a 'best of both worlds' solution. Software deployment via streaming is perfect for remote delivery across the Internet or low-bandwidth extranets because it streams only the application functions that an end user actually needs, when those functions are needed, rather than delivering the entire application in advance. AppStream is headquartered in Palo Alto, CA with offices in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
