Method and system for virtualization of software applications

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method comprising:

• launching a plurality of processes within an environment implemented by a virtual application, the virtual application being associated with an isolation number, each of the plurality of processes being associated with a different process name;
• determining a threshold value;
• identifying one or more files requiring an amount of memory greater than the threshold value;
• allocating a shared memory accessible by each of the plurality of processes for the one or more files identified;
• storing each of the one or more files identified in the shared memory;
• naming each of the one or more files stored in the shared memory in accordance with a naming convention comprising a file identification and the isolation number;
• receiving a request from one of the plurality of processes to access a particular file, the request comprising a file identification associated with the particular file;
• in response to receiving the request to access the particular file, determining whether the particular file is stored in the shared memory by determining whether a file having a name including the file identification and the isolation number is present in the shared memory;
• and
• if the particular file is determined to be stored in the shared memory, directing the one of the plurality of processes to access the particular file in the shared memory.
