Deploying multi-dependency .NET Winforms app via cloud/virtualised environments -
we have developed .net winforms app connects central sql server database via webservices. thick client relies on number external dependencies such microsoft office, office web components , .net framework 4.0.
what options available deploy such application (just .net winforms thick client part) virtualized app? things trying achieve are:
- simplify installation process, users have install number of prerequisites each own idiosyncrasies in various windows environments.
- homogenize user experience , reduce support costs. additionally, allow app run on platforms other windows.
the scale looking @ approximately 10,000 desktop users.
i have looked @ cloud paging offering numecent http://www.numecent.com/technology/cloudpaging.html , similar required. want know if has had experiences transferring traditional .net winform apps virtualized offering , if has suggestions , ideas.
you on right track.
numecent addresses delivery of .net application , allows integration of external dependencies of other software assets including (and not limited to) microsoft office, office web components, , .net 4.0 framework @ thick client. also, or of dependencies can included part of package (if not on or don't wish use assets thick client).
for delivery, cloudpaging substantially reduce size of applications , dependencies. example, popular cad application delivered functioning .net in 134mb (the cad application 3gb!). suspect sql thick client smaller.
as far other questions, simplification of installation process , dealing prerequisites on different windows environments fundamental reducing support costs better satisfying end users. numecent has demonstrated both , has successful commercial deployments in production, similar usecase. have solutions other platforms (e.g. tablet).
