ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft has completed its purchase of application virtualization vendor Softricity, the company said this week.
The Boston-based firm is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant.
"With application virtualization and software streaming, Microsoft can now deliver virtualization at the application layer [which] is an important part of Microsoft's virtualization strategy across the platform, operating system, applications and management layers to help customers achieve self-managing dynamic systems," Bob Muglia, senior vice president of Microsoft's Server and Tools Business, in a prepared statement.
