What is application delivery?
The right

your enterprise application utilization needs.
Instead of every application being
installed on each individual machine, you could centralize your
applications and distribute them out according to departments or
even get as granular as down to the individual user.
The applications get installed on a
centralizaed system and then gets distributed to either a client
device or browser to even a specific environment for many users to
access in a secure, controlled fashion.

interact with the applications, and improves the ease of application access.
