AppZero provides you the tools to easily package and move existing Windows applications to the GoGrid cloud with zero friction and no "cloud lock in." Additionally, AppZero is the only way to move Windows' apps without breaking Microsoft's licensing. Applications arrive to a running GoGrid server instantly up and ready to go. Performance overhead is negligible with AppZero running at 97% of an application in its native environment

- Enterprises seeking a practical way to use pay-as-you-go cloud computing for elastic workloads.

- Any organization eager to experiment utilizing GoGrid, but unwilling to invest much time and effort doing so.
How does AppZero work?
AppZero picks up an installed application and places it into a Virtual Application Appliance (VAA) file (similar to a Virtual Appliance, minus the operating system components). The VAA sits between the application and operating system virtualizing all Windows file, registry, and services access. Because the virtualization technology is bundled within the VAA, nothing needs to be pre-installed allowing users to easily move infrastructure running on any hypervisor, bare metal server, or combination thereof to the GoGrid cloud.
AppZero's VAA is sold per GoGrid server instance and includes limited Dev/Test instances. VAA technical support is available via AppZero support contracts.
