(PRWEB) April 14, 2008 -- Big Hat Group is announcing their new status as a Thinstall Global Training Partner for the Thinstall Virtualization Suite. The Thinstall Virtual Application Suite allows system administrators to package applications into executable files that can be placed on a USB drive and run on other computers without installing the software or making permanent changes to the host computer.

“Big Hat Group has extensive experience in the application packaging and virtualization space and brings that knowledge to both the training material and the training sessions that they deliver,” said Kevin Kaminski, an enterprise consultant at Big Hat Group. “These sessions are for those who wish to get a quick start with the Thinstall technology and be able to interact with practicing consultants for that real world perspective around implementation scenarios and issues.”

This two day course is designed to touch on all the major features of the current release of Thinstall through a series of lectures and instructor supervised labs.

The Thinstall was acquired by VMWare in early 2008 by VMWare Inc. based in San Francisco California to complement their existing line of virtualization solutions. VMWare is a world leader in hardware virtualization solutions, and Thinstall is one of the leading solutions in the quickly expanding and highly competitive application virtualization marketplace. Many complications and management issues surrounding application deployment and management are resolved due to how application virtualization turns software into services that can be delivered or removed to an end user PC within seconds.
