Overview
Most SMBs face an ongoing challenge in managing the software that their business people use every day, the key solutions to this software management challenge include three main technologies such as imaging, virtualization, and native installation.

▪ Imaging – where an entire system, complete with all the required software (OS, drivers, applications, etc.), is created and saved as a complete system image, for subsequent deployment to a new desktop
▪ Application virtualization – a flexible method of distributing applications in a way that hides their physical characteristics (e.g. where it is running, how it is installed, where software settings are saved, etc.)
▪ Native installation – the process of installing software (manually or automatically) using the standard vendor-provided installation routines
