Why each option
Client virtualization, specifically application virtualization or desktop virtualization, allows multiple users to access and run an application hosted on a server without needing a local installation on their individual client devices.
Client virtualization, particularly application virtualization or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), allows applications or entire desktop environments to be hosted on a central server and delivered to multiple users. This means users can run the application remotely without local installation, often through a thin client or browser.
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing model where applications are hosted by a third-party vendor and made available to customers over the internet, which focuses on the delivery model rather than the underlying virtualization technology enabling concurrent access without local install.
Sandboxing is a security mechanism to isolate running programs from the rest of the system, not a method for centralizing application access for multiple users.
Embedded software is specialized software integrated into hardware devices to control their specific functions, unrelated to providing multi-user access to applications on a server.
