Novell extended its interest beyond hardware virtualization in September 2008, when it officially entered the application virtualization thanks to an OEM agreement with XenoCode.
The XenoCode Application Studio was rebranded as ZENworks Applicaton Virtualization (ZAV) and updated once (ZAV 7.0 released in March 2009).
Yesterday Novell announced the availability of ZAV 8.0, based on XenCode Virtual Application Studio 2010, so the product includes the new application streaming technology, the capability to restrict virtualized application usage, the support for Windows 7 and for 64bit applications.
