10ZiG Technology and Liquidware have expanded their partnership to deepen the integration between 10ZiG OS and Liquidware FlexApp, aiming to deliver applications more efficiently in virtual desktop and cloud-hosted environments.
The joint effort combines 10ZiG’s thin- and zero-client endpoint solutions and management platform with Liquidware’s FlexApp dynamic application attachment technology. The integration is designed to help IT teams simplify the deployment, update, and maintenance of applications across VDI, DaaS, and other hosted desktop environments. For organizations managing distributed users and mixed-endpoint strategies, the partnership focuses on reducing the operational burden associated with traditional desktop image management.
Application delivery remains a persistent problem in end-user computing environments, particularly where administrators maintain multiple desktop images to support diverse user groups or software requirements. That model increases management overhead, slows change cycles, and can complicate patching and version control. FlexApp addresses that issue by decoupling applications from the base operating system, allowing them to be attached dynamically rather than baked into the core image.
Reducing Image Sprawl
With the expanded integration, 10ZiG and Liquidware are positioning the combined stack to reduce image sprawl and improve deployment flexibility. Tom Dodds, Global Strategic Alliances Manager at 10ZiG Technology, said customers want practical ways to simplify application management without sacrificing performance or control, and that expanding the partnership helps IT teams move toward a more flexible model that reduces image management overhead and accelerates application delivery. Jason E. Smith, VP of Marketing & Alliance at Liquidware, framed FlexApp as designed to eliminate the constraints of traditional application packaging and OS image modification, with the 10ZiG integration extending those benefits across a broader range of endpoint strategies.
From a technical standpoint, the partnership centers on four operational gains. First, dynamic application attachment allows IT teams to modernize delivery workflows by separating apps from the base image. Second, updates and new applications can be rolled out faster because administrators no longer need to rebuild and redistribute full images for every change. Third, the approach lowers ongoing overhead by reducing the number of images that must be maintained across environments. Finally, it supports a broader endpoint mix, including thin clients, repurposed devices, and cloud desktops, while preserving a more consistent user experience.
Expanding Virtualized and Cloud Workspace Adoption
Beyond the product integration, the companies said they will expand joint go-to-market work around virtualized and cloud workspace adoption. That includes tighter coordination within the 10ZiG Ready partner ecosystem, as well as broader field enablement and customer engagement efforts.
