What is Droplet Containers?
Unlike traditional virtualisation or emulation, Droplet Containers enable legacy or modern apps to function on Windows, macOS, or Linux without modification. This lightweight, secure solution eliminates compatibility issues, allowing businesses to extend the life of existing software while reducing costs.
With Droplet Computing, IT departments can streamline operations, simplify infrastructure, and ensure a consistent user experience across devices. Ideal for hybrid work environments, Droplet Containers offer unmatched versatility, keeping your applications running anywhere, anytime.
The Droplet NeverTrust™ Model
Safeguard your system from zero-day attacks and ransomware with the Droplet NeverTrust™ model. Enjoy full-featured versions of all your Windows apps seamlessly mirrored across your laptop, phone, tablet, and more!
Compatibility
Decouple your applications from the operating system and run them on a wide range of operating systems or cloud platforms, even those they weren't originally designed for.
High Security
NCC Group PLC conducts regular penetration testing on the software, ensuring that both old and new applications remain secure and protected from interference or exploitation.
Compliance
The software helps achieve regulatory compliance, like Cyber Essentials Plus or NIST.
Features
Centralised cloud delivery, local execution
Droplet Computing containers require minimal infrastructure, as they are deployed directly to local devices using your existing methods. Since the containers run locally, there's no need for extensive back-end servers or storage. All that's required is a file server to store your pre-built container images, ready for deployment to end users.
Enhanced end user experience
Droplet Computing containers provide a user-friendly 'app launcher' workspace interface, where applications are displayed as clickable tiles, allowing users to easily launch and run them with a single click.
Simple application installation
Installing an app into the container is a straightforward task for IT admins. They simply direct the container to the installer file and follow the standard installation process for the app—no complex packaging, sequencing, or virtualization needed. It’s as easy as “next, next, finish.”
Run non-native applications
By containerising your Windows apps, you can run them on macOS without any changes, preserving the familiar user experience.
Application portability
Once containerised, applications become cross-platform, allowing you to switch between devices without the need to rebuild or reinstall. The same container image can be used seamlessly across macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms.
