Droplet NeverTrust

Run and migrate x86 applications inside isolated, secure containers

Many organisations still rely on x86 applications that require specific OS or environment characteristics. Those dependencies create upgrade and migration blockers and force costly rewrites or prolonged use of legacy platforms.

Droplet NeverTrust encapsulates applications in isolated containers and separates them from the host OS and network. That lets teams run the same unmodified binaries on supported operating systems, cloud platforms or hypervisors and simplifies secure migration and delivery of legacy and modern x86 software.

Where Droplet NeverTrust is used

Organisations use Droplet NeverTrust to migrate legacy Windows desktop and server applications to modern operating systems or cloud platforms without modifying the application. It is also used where compatibility barriers prevent OS upgrades or platform consolidation.

Typical scenarios include preserving application behaviour during platform changes, reducing the need for redevelopment, and delivering applications to mixed estates where the host OS or hypervisor varies.

Fits within these solutions

Secure Application Isolation

Browser Security

Application Delivery & Virtualisation

Delivery & deployment

On-Premises Software

Suitable environments

Fits organisations running legacy Windows desktop applications, mid-market and enterprise IT teams, distributed or hybrid workforces, and teams with strong security or least-privilege endpoint policies because containers remove host dependencies and run on supported OS, cloud or hypervisors.

Benefits

Reduce rewrite costs

Avoids the expense and time of rewriting or refactoring legacy applications.

Accelerate migrations

Speeds platform upgrades and migrations by removing application compatibility work.

Preserve functionality

Keeps application behaviour identical by running the original binaries unchanged.

Improve isolation

Limits exposure of the host OS and network by isolating applications in containers.

Simplify updates

Makes OS and platform updates less disruptive by removing compatibility blockers.

Increase portability

Enables moving applications between hypervisors, clouds and OSs with minimal effort.

Capabilities

Application encapsulation

Encapsulates applications inside isolated containers to remove direct dependence on the host OS.

Run x86 unchanged

Allows legacy and modern x86 binaries to run on target platforms without modification or rewriting.

Platform agnostic

Delivers containers to any supported operating system, cloud platform or hypervisor.

Host OS isolation

Keeps the application separate from the host operating system to reduce compatibility and dependency issues.

Network separation

Separates application networking from the host network to limit host-level exposure.

Portable containers

Provides lightweight, portable containers that can be deployed across different target environments.

Legacy and modern support

Works with both legacy and current x86 applications to preserve operational continuity during migrations.

Applications

OS upgrade migration

Migrate legacy applications to newer operating systems without changing the application code.

Datacentre/cloud moves

Move applications to cloud platforms or alternate hypervisors while preserving functionality.

Legacy continuity

Keep mission-critical legacy apps running when underlying platforms would otherwise be retired.

Mixed estate support

Deliver the same application across varied endpoints, hypervisors and host OSs in mixed estates.

Reduce replatforming costs

Lower costs by avoiding redevelopment when moving to new platforms or cloud services.

Support security needs

Assist organisations that need to meet strong security or least-privilege endpoint requirements by isolating apps from hosts.
