Customer Needs and Pain Points Addressed
Inefficient app packaging and testing workflows
Traditional app management often requires embedding apps into golden images, leading to image sprawl, long update cycles, and testing bottlenecks. App Volumes eliminates this by allowing IT to package apps once and deliver them instantly to hundreds or thousands of users.

Complexity in managing diverse environments
Whether you're supporting VDI, RDSH, physical desktops, or cloud-hosted workspaces, App Volumes provides a consistent, centralized way to manage apps across all platforms—reducing operational overhead and simplifying compliance.

Slow app updates and downtime
With App Volumes, updates are made once at the package level and delivered in real time without requiring reboots or user downtime. This accelerates patching and reduces disruption.

High infrastructure and storage costs
By separating apps from the OS and using one-to-many provisioning, App Volumes reduces the need for multiple images and minimizes storage consumption—cutting costs by up to 70% in some environments.

Security and compliance challenges
App Volumes supports secure app isolation and centralized control, ensuring that sensitive applications are delivered only to authorized users. Writable Volumes can be used to persist user-installed apps and profile data without compromising the base image.

Limited IT resources and scalability concerns
App Volumes automates much of the app lifecycle—from packaging to retirement—freeing up IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives. It scales easily across thousands of users and integrates with automation tools for even greater efficiency
