Why deploy a virtual appliance?

Virtual appliances relieve customers from the headaches of software installation and maintenance so they can focus on the value that software provides. Customers can deploy the application within minutes and begin using it immediately. Every component of the virtual appliance is pre-configured and optimized by the ISV, thereby eliminating interoperability issues. The ISV serves as the single point of contact for the virtual appliance, reducing the number of vendors the customer must engage with. Security is improved because customer data remains onsite with the virtual appliance in the customer’s data center. In addition, virtual appliances are built with a thinner more secure operating system; customers will know they are deploying a solution that is less vulnerable.
