AppDNA Announced General Availability of AppTitude 3.5

AppDNA today announce the general availability of their virtualization compatibility Tool AppTitude 3.5. The new system now supports Citrix XenApp application delivery solution. The system promises to reduce the time, cost and risk associated with deployment of OS migrations, software upgrades, virtualization and other changes.

AppTitude 3.5 will test for application compatibility with XenApp version 3.5 to 5 and Windows Terminal Services. “The new release has two separate reporting modules – the Server-Based Computing (SBC) Module for compatibility with XenApp hosted and Terminal Services configurations and the Virtualization Manager for XenApp streaming”. The system supports what it calls static and runtime analysis and extended runtime analysis that can import customized OS images.

“A new 64-bit report in the Server and Desktop Compatibility Manager provides a dedicated view on application suitability for 64-bit computing. New support for external data source lookups enables third party and vendor databases, such as Microsoft’s list of certified Vista-compatible applications, to supplement AppTitude’s direct analysis”.

“Companies are looking to application virtualization and XenApp to reduce the cost and complexity of managing and delivering applications,” said Bill Hartwick, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Citrix. “AppTitude 3.5 can help identify up front what changes, if any, need to be made to the application to deliver it with XenApp. By providing rapid and comprehensive visibility into their potential application compatibility issues, AppTitude 3.5 enables our partners to help customers more quickly and cost-effectively manage their applications in our virtualization environment.”

“With AppTitude 3.5, we can now provide unprecedented insight into application DNA for those organizations delivering applications with XenApp,” said Mike Welling, CEO of AppDNA. “With its extended runtime analysis and enhanced reporting capabilities, AppTitude 3.5 provides more accurate reporting and an even more powerful analytic dashboard for dramatically improving XenApp rollouts.”
