App-V Optimization

Automatically optimize App-V packages to eliminate Connection Groups, improve compatibility and performance, migrate packages to Microsoft Intune and gain real-time application usage data without repackaging.

Platform

Extend the Life of Existing App-V Packages

Microsoft ended support for App-V Full Infrastructure on April 14th (2026), but your existing investments in the solution don’t need to become obsolete.

Cloudpager enables you to continue running your existing App-V packages across modern and future Windows OS without sacrificing the speed of delivery experience with the App-V Publishing Servers.

What you get

What You Get

Run Existing App-V Packages Forever

App-V Full Infrastructure end of life passed April 14, 2026. Cloudpager enables you to dynamically provision them to any modern or future Windows OS after retiring its other components.

Eliminate Connection Groups

Persist and expand application interoperability without the need for fragile App-V Connection Groups. 

Instant Microsoft Intune Compatibility

Cloudpager can natively publish optimized App-V packages into Microsoft Intune, streamlining your journey from App-V Full Infrastructure to modern Microsoft endpoint management solutions.

Real-Time Application Usage Analytics

Optimized App-V packages have all application launches, session information, and software usage tracked and readily available within the Cloudpager admin portal in real-time.

Improve Application Performance

Take advantage of Cloudpager’s intelligent auto-deploy and machine-learning capabilities to accelerate application deployments across your organization.

Automated Software Policy Enforcement

Easily apply software license policies to meet ISV and regulatory governance, including concurrent usage limits, time-based access expiration, device and operating system restrictions, and offline application usage.

How it works

How it Works

Simply upload your existing App-V packages into Cloudpager and they are automatically optimized to unlock capabilities that were never available in native App-V.

Whitepaper

5 Requirements for a Future-Proof Solution to App-V’s End of Life

Traditional approaches to application management cannot secure thousands of applications across physical and virtual endpoints with AI-assisted bad actors exploiting vulnerabilities faster than ever.

Discover how application containers and AI Packaging equip IT teams to overcome challenges with keeping applications up to date, locking down legacy applications on modern OS, and rapidly responding to incidents without sacrificing the end user experience.

"With Cloudpager, we’re transitioning away from our previous App-V-based model and embracing cloud-native, real-time delivery of virtualized applications. This shift brings us greater agility, scalability, and control – empowering us to deliver applications faster and more efficiently across our environment."
