Ensure all applications can be deployed via App attach
We’re beyond excited to announce we’ve taken our collaboration with Microsoft to the next level. As of today, Cloudpager natively integrates with App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop (read the press release here). This blog will demonstrate how the solution works, as well as what new and existing customers alike can achieve with this integration.
Eliminate legacy application deployment issues with Cloudpaging
We know it only takes a single troublesome application to derail modernization initiatives. We designed Cloudpaging to ensure even your most complex legacy, custom, and resource-intensive applications can be seamlessly provisioned to any Windows desktop environment, including non-persistent multi-session Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop environments, in a secure and compliant manner.
Countless customers of ours have legacy applications serving business-critical functions. Unfortunately, many of these applications have outdated dependencies that prevent them from running on modern Windows desktop environments.
With granular controls over what application components to isolate to or integrate from the desktop and other applications, Cloudpaging containers eliminate compatibility issues across Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. For example, you may have a legacy application that requires older versions of Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Cloudpaging enables you to isolate that specific dependency while maintaining full functionality, interoperability, and performance.
Once packaged into Cloudpaging containers, these applications can be seamlessly deployed to end users via App attach.
Securely Run Legacy Applications Across All Modern Windows Desktops
Legacy applications serve business-critical functions for many enterprises. However, many of these applications have dependencies on unsupported operating systems, rendering them unable to be deployed to modern Windows OS, including Azure Virtual Desktop.
With less than 12 months to Windows 10 end of support (October 14, 2025), now is the time to address how to securely run legacy applications on Windows 11.

Our Cloudpager platform is one of the first application container management platforms for Windows desktops. By extending DevOps capabilities to the management of Windows desktop applications, Cloudpager drastically accelerates application deployment speeds, streamlines IT operations, enhances operational efficiency, and reduces desktop image management overhead. From a single pane of glass, administrators can dynamically provision application containers to end user desktops – such as Cloudpaging and MSIX package formats – including those in active sessions.
Streamline Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop adoption with Cloudpager
The fastest route for existing on-premises Cloudpaging customers to go the cloud and adopt Azure Virtual Desktop
For existing on-premises Cloudpaging customers, all you have to do to get started is drag and drop Cloudpaging containers to Cloudpager, enable App attach, and your applications will immediately be available within Azure Virtual Desktop App attach to provision to Azure Virtual Desktop.
“I am thrilled to expand our collaboration with Numecent” said Scott Manchester, Vice President of Product for Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop at Microsoft. “With Numecent Cloudpager’s new Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop and App attach capabilities, existing Cloudpaging customers can now easily migrate to Azure Virtual Desktop with minimal effort. The combination of our cloud VDI solution and Cloudpager provides customers with a robust yet easy-to-use solution suite to deliver a high performing application experience wherever end users reside, while adhering to security and requirements at global scale.”
“By integrating Cloudpaging with Cloudpager, Waterman boosted its software virtualization coverage to 98%, significantly enhancing the performance of substantial software suites like Autodesk, achieving remarkable speeds not previously attainable with software virtualization”
Stuart Worrow, Group IT Director, Waterman
Read the Case StudyReduce image management
By eliminating application conflicts and virtualizing applications per user, Cloudpaging enables you to abstract applications out of your base images. Better yet, you no longer have to maintain multiple clusters or application silos to accommodate conflicting or specialized applications. They will simply work, even in non-persistent multi-session environments.
This has led to many of our customers getting a single golden image, which has the standard desktop image provided by Microsoft – which they update every patch Tuesday – and our Cloudpaging Player software. This allows administrators to simply focus on application containers themselves, rather than reimaging desktops for any given update.
Get your applications into App attach today!
Cloudpaging containers eliminate application compatibility issues across all Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems and significantly reduces image management, ensuring even your most complex legacy applications can run on Azure Virtual Desktop in a friction-free manner. This new App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop integration serves as the perfect avenue for you to get all your apps running on Azure Virtual Desktop in a secured, high-performing manner.
