Client testimonials

We are so pleased and confident in their resilience and business continuity capabilities, that we have just moved our own in-house servers to their environment.
Switching to BlackBox Hosting has significantly enhanced our operations. Their service has proven invaluable in streamlining our operations and reducing downtime. We wholeheartedly recommend BlackBox Hosting for any business seeking a seamless and worry-free cloud solution.

What is Application Publishing and Why Do You Need It?

Many companies host their software on the Cloud.

Public Clouds are shared, which gives you less control, unpredictable and opaque bills and a reliance on their support team’s availability if anything goes wrong. You’re also entirely responsible for your own data, applications and services, and the extra costs that come with it.

Private Clouds, on the other hand, are 100% dedicated to your business. But hosting them in-house can be expensive, time-intensive and, if not configured correctly, a massive security risk.

We take the stress away by designing, hosting and managing everything for you.

Built on dedicated resources with simple, transparent billing and round-the-clock expert support, our solutions can be deployed in your own data centre, a partner data centre or a secure BlackBox Hosting Tier 3+ facility, allowing you to remain in control of your resources and costs at all times.

Application publishing allows your business to host software on a centralised platform and securely deliver it to your customers or employees over the internet or a private network. This means you don’t need to install locally on every device, nor manage installation across dozens or hundreds of your desktops. With an application publishing or an application delivery solution, you can access the latest version of the software through a secure virtual interface.

Consider these solutions as virtual software programmes that look and act like local applications but are actually running on a server.

Key Features of Application Delivery Management

 

Application publishing helps organisations streamline their software delivery in complex or distributed environments. The key features include:

Gain Remote Access to Legacy Software

You keep your legacy or proprietary software running in the cloud without needing users to install it locally.

SaaS Deployment

Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) can make the most of application delivery to deliver software to clients as a cloud-hosted service.

Application publishing allows your developers and QA teams to work with centrally hosted applications and sandbox environments.

Development and Testing Environments

Hybrid Work Support

Application delivery management and DaaS provide staff with secure access to key applications from home, branch offices, and client sites.

Contractor and Third-Party Access

You can allow third-party users limited access to applications without completely onboarding them to your network.

Application delivery services are ideal for businesses needing:

  • Centralised control over data and user access
  • Simplified software management and updates
  • Secure remote access to business-critical tools
  • Lower expenses on IT maintenance and desktop support

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) vs Application Publishing

Application publishing delivers specific applications to the user’s device. Users can quickly and easily interact with the remote applications they need, and not with a complete desktop environment. These apps appear as if they’re running locally.

Desktop as a Service, or DaaS, on the other hand, provides users with a complete virtual desktop. You can use any device to log into a desktop with an operating system, apps, and settings from the cloud. You can run multiple apps and customise your desktop just like a regular computer.

BlackBox Hosting provides both DaaS and application delivery services.
