Central Processing Unit (CPU) requirements
Apps come in 32 or 64 bit that requires equal bits in it’s CPU/OS, including TPM for cryptography, Hardware-assited virtualization for VMs, and RAM for multitasking, Storage space for the app, logs, files & temp files.
hardware-assisted virtualization
uses a computer’s physical components to support virtualization software, creating and managing virtual machines (VMs) more efficiently.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
a specialized chip on a computer’s motherboard or in its processor that enhances security by storing cryptographic keys and ensuring the authenticity of the operating system and firmware
motherboard chipset
acts as a communication hub and traffic controller, managing data flow between the CPU, memory, storage, and other peripherals.
App requirements
dedicated graphics card
For demanding tasks like gaming, video editing, and 3D modeling by Apps.
Integrated graphics
suitable for everyday tasks, lack the resources needed for these more intensive applications w. own video RAM.
external hardware token
A smart card or USB form factor device serves as a token for storing cryptographic user identification data, requiring the user to present it along with a password, PIN, or biometric scan for authentication.
WOW64 (Windows on Windows 64-bit)
is a subsystem in the Windows operating system that allows 32-bit applications to run on 64-bit versions of Windows.
App distribution method
installation files through app stores, physical media, or downloads, with verification needed to ensure trustworthy.
setup file:
* Windows- .EXE or .MSI extensions.
* macOS - DMG or PKG formats
* Linux packages - DEB packages with the APT package manager or RPM for YUM
ISO file
It essentially creates a single file containing all the data and structure of the original disc, allowing you to store, share, and replicate the data without needing the physical disc.
Impact to Business
- Licensing
- training
- support
Impact to Operation
For deployment business an use a network-based installer or Group Policy Objects
(GPOs)
Deployment
network-based installer
is a software installation method where the program is installed from a network file share, rather than a local disc or media
Group Policy Objects
in Windows Active Directory centralize management of settings, ensuring uniform behavior for operating systems, applications, and users across an organization’s network.
GPO
To run the an app
Users must have read/execute permissions for the application’s installation directory, while user-specific files and settings should be stored in their home folder or profile.
Impact to Device and to Network
Installing applications on desktops requires ensuring trusted sources, digital signatures, and thorough testing to prevent security risks, compatibility issues, and excessive resource consumption.
