What Does App Volumes Do?
Agile Services Delivery
By leveraging VMware’s Instant Clones, App Volumes, and User Environment Management, JMP untangles the operating system, applications, and user personalization. By doing so, all the component pieces together can be reconstituted on-demand to deliver Just-in-Time desktops and apps across any infrastructure topologies – delivered to any device.
Simplified Application and User Management
Provide application and user management across virtual desktop and RDSH/ published application environments powered by VMware Horizon, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. Supports enterprise-scale capabilities such as streamlined updates and assignments, quick and easy rollbacks and application lifecycle management.
Dramatically Lowers IT Costs
Supports a truly stateless desktop with no trade-off between user experience and costs. Delivers zero-downtime updates, and one-to-many provisioning lowers storage and operational costs.
Enables Reliability Through a Modern Architecture
Provision applications faster, deliver context-aware user policy and isolate apps as needed for a personalized, reliable and consistent user experience.

VMware App Volumes
The Lowest Capital and Operational Costs for Application Delivery and Management
"VMware App Volumes is actually one of the cooler technologies we employ here at the hospital. We are able to separate the OS image from the application images. If there is a change in any application, you can make that change and present it to the user exactly when they want it. Even if only one person wants it, it allows us to install that application and use App Volumes to present that application to just that user, and make them happy. From an IT perspective, we want to say yes more than no. App Volumes makes it possible for us to say yes.”
Austin Park, Principal Consultant, LCMC Health
