Amazon EC2 – Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use. Amazon EC2 provides developers the tools to build failure resilient applications and isolate themselves from common failure scenarios.

AppSense – Appsense is the leading provider of user environment management solutions for the enterprise. User environment management enables the configuration and personalization of virtual, standard desktops by treating user specific data as a separate layer of the desktop. This user layer is applied as needed and is accessible in any environment. Keeping user data separate means it is no longer tied to a specific machine and so can be applied to any desktop environment when needed. In this way, the user experience remains consistent and predictable while the corporate desktop is standardized and delivery automated. Companies such as Citi, WellSpan, Bank of America, Clifford Chance and HP are using AppSense technology in their virtual environments today.

AppStream – The award-winning streaming technology of AppStream, now part of Symantec, reduces administrative overhead, costs, maintenance, and security concerns associated with managing applications and software on multiple endpoints. Its pull-based, on-demand software distribution platform combines the benefits of server-based computing (self-service access and centralized management and control) and distributed PC computing (disconnected application use and distributed processing), providing a “best of both worlds” solution. Software deployment and management via streaming is perfect for remote delivery because it only provides the application functions that an end-user needs, when those functions are needed, rather than delivering the entire application unnecessarily in advance. Applications become highly portable between machines and do not conflict with each other or with pre-existing, conventionally-installed software.
