App Volumes represents a portfolio of applications and user management solutions for Horizon, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, and RDSH.
App Volumes makes it easy to deliver, update, assign, and manage the lifecycle of applications and users across virtual desktop (VDI) and published application environments. Context-aware user policy and profile management provides secure and personalized access to desktops and apps.
This service improves application delivery by packaging applications once and deploying them across Horizon environments, on-premises and in the cloud. By using App Volumes to package, assign and deploy applications, IT managers can reduce operational expenses (OpEx) while increasing visibility and control over their VDI environments.
The combination of App Volumes’ separation of operating system (OS) and application layers to simplify image management, plus the new on-demand app delivery of Apps on Demand, can have significant benefits for published app administrators in reducing app management time and farm infrastructure requirements. Apps on Demand for published apps supports Horizon, Citrix, and Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop environments, in the cloud or on premises.
