Efficient virtualization collaboration for
VMware and Microsoft
vPackager
One of the major challenges in using VMs for development or testing is that in order to develop or test against common platforms, synchronizing changes is required. As virtual machines proliferate, the difficulty of maintaining synchronicity and distributing changes limits the productivity of a distributed workforce. With vPackager, customers can configure a Windows-based VM with the applications and configurations they wish to distribute, then extract these changes to a compressed package. This package can be distributed without OS licensing implications and applied to similar VMs to merge the changes.
Advantages
vPackager effectively introduces virtual appliances for Windows, with an extremely flexible distribution footprint. Virtual appliances are typically regarded as pre-built, pre-configured, ready-to-run applications packaged with an optimized operating system inside a virtual machine. With vPackager, a Windows-based virtual appliance can be distributed without the underlying operating system, which opens up radically new distribution models for appliances based on licensed operating systems. It is now possible to distribute a set of pre-configured applications as a package without the associated operating system, with the only requirement being that the downstream user has a similar base image.
