Read MoreWhat is App Volumes?
App Volumes decouples applications from the Windows OS by capturing them into virtualized packages that can be attached, detached, updated, or rolled back in real time—without rebuilding images.
Unified app delivery that can help reduce costs
By abstracting Windows applications from the base OS, IT teams can maintain fewer images and may accelerate updates across environments by up to 90%.*
Highly secure lifecycle management
By delivering apps on demand rather than installing them beforehand, App Volumes with Apps on Demand feature helps reduce attack surface while streamlining application management and security.
Flexible deployment across hybrid infrastructures
Reuse a single app package across Horizon, Citrix, Azure Virtual Desktop, and physical Windows PCs - eliminating re-packaging and parallel lifecycle tracks.
Features
Features that streamline app management and delivery
App Volumes simplifies app packaging, delivery, and lifecycle management, helping IT teams reduce manual activities, lower costs, and deliver a consistent user experience across environments.
Centralized app management
One-to-many provisioning
Modernize apps with Apps on Demand
Scalable app management
Accelerate value with Omnissa solutions
App Volumes helps deliver applications dynamically to virtual desktops and published apps, reducing image sprawl and simplifying lifecycle management. It supports multiple Omnissa solutions by helping teams streamline app delivery, maintain consistent experiences, and reduce operational overhead across virtual and physical environments.
Deliver flexible, scalable virtual application environments
App Volumes can help teams package, deliver, and update applications independently of desktop images. This supports agile, repeatable deployment models for Horizon 8 and Horizon Cloud environments, enabling IT to reduce image complexity, minimize downtime, and deliver consistent application experiences to users across VDI and published app pools.
