With unique app capture technology, Apps On Demand app delivery, and centralized management and control, App Volumes reduces application-related infrastructure and management costs*, strengthens security, and ensures consistent user experience across all devices. Full app lifecycle management for physical devices, including version control, reverting, and retiring apps - is expected later this year.
“Windows application environments are growing faster than most IT teams can adapt,” said Bharath Rangarajan, senior vice president of products and technology alliances at Omnissa. “And with that growth comes silos between teams, tools, and environments. With App Volumes, we’re bridging those divides through a single solution that streamlines app delivery and management across every environment.”
With Omnissa App Volumes, IT teams can now use app capture technology to package an application once, deploy it anywhere, and then deliver these apps on-demand to virtual and physical devices at scale. By centralizing app delivery and management through one solution, App Volumes simplifies operations, enhances security, and scales user support. As a result, App Volumes customers can deploy apps 90% faster on average, reduce time spent managing apps by 76%, and reduce app downtime by 95%**. IT teams can also:
Reduce app management costs: App Volumes is designed to help lower infrastructure and management costs through unique capture and provisioning technology. By separating OS images from applications, it streamlines app delivery and helps reduce image sprawl. One-to-many provisioning allows a single app copy to be used across multiple endpoints and hosts, reducing infrastructure costs and management time. Built-in app lifecycle management helps reduce unplanned outages and improves release quality by simplifying how apps are kept up to date.
Improve security: With its Apps On Demand capability, App Volumes limits attack surfaces by delivering apps to the user’s device only when needed, so potentially vulnerable apps are not installed to the local OS. IT teams can instantly patch or roll back app versions, contributing to Windows security posture. Flexible app entitlements can help to limit access to authorized users, groups, and devices. Integration with Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager supports secure, context-aware access, and full Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM integration enables centralized OS management and protection from anywhere.
Enhance user experience: App Volumes is designed to provide consistent app access across virtual and physical endpoints through user-based entitlements. Users can benefit from faster access and reduced downtime. With 99% app compatibility***, employees can reliably access both modern and legacy Windows apps from any device.
“With more than 500 million applications in use globally today, and that number expected to double to over 1 billion in the next five years, organizations must change how they approach application delivery. How apps are delivered and managed will increasingly shape IT’s ability to drive productivity, support the user experience, and deliver long-term business value,” said Shannon Kalvar, research director for Enterprise Systems Management, Enterprise Client Computing Platforms, Observability and AIOps at IDC.
