ReducingImage Management
Simplify Windows desktop image management by decoupling applications from OS images and dynamically provisioning them directly to employee endpoints.
The Use Case
End Desktop Image Sprawl and Simplify Maintenance
Installing applications directly into desktop images leads to system conflicts, forcing IT teams to maintain an ever-increasing number of images to handle application conflicts and disparate team requirements. Cloudpager decouples your applications, enabling you to maintain a single, lightweight base image across your organization.
Key Capabilities
Streamline Desktop Image Management
Transform how you provision applications and updates without touching your desktop images.
Containerize Once, Deploy Anywhere
Ensure all your applications can run on any physical or virtual Windows desktop without the need to be repackaged for different Windows operating systems or device types by packaging them with Cloudpaging.
Isolate Troublesome Application Components
Cloudpaging containers provide granular control over what application components to isolate from the system within their virtual sandbox so applications maintain full functionality without introducing system or application conflicts.
Establish Dynamic Provisioning
Provision applications and updates directly to employees outside of your desktop images, including those in active user sessions.
Automate Application Updates
Leverage Cloudpager’s AI Packaging capabilities, non-interactive packager, and PowerShell Modules to automate application packaging and deployment without any edits to desktop images.
Implement Incremental Rollouts
Deploy and update applications in staged rings across targeted user groups and endpoints, minimizing operational risk and eliminating widespread employee downtime.
Instantly Roll Back Versions
Natively track all application configuration changes and deployments, with the ability to rapidly roll applications back to a known good state.
How it Works
Simplifying Image Management
Containerize all your applications so they can be securely provisioned across all physical and virtual Windows endpoints outside of your desktop images.

Why VDI Teams Need Cloud-Native Application Management
VDI and DaaS image management doesn’t need to be difficult. It’s leveraging outdated approaches to application management where things get complex and costly. Learn how you can avoid common pitfalls by containerizing your apps.
Streamlining Application Management Across Physical and Virtual Windows Desktops
Containerizing your applications and establishing a centralized, cloud-native container management platform enables you to abstract applications out of your desktop images and simplify operations across all Windows environments.
Case Study
Achieve a Single Golden Image
Most Cloudpager customers establish a single image for all their desktop users, simply consisting of their standard M365 desktop image and our client software. This enables all containerized applications and updates to be rapidly provisioned across all Windows endpoints without requiring any changes to the underlying image itself.
