App Volumes Deployment Considerations

VMware App Volumes is a real-time application delivery and life cycle management tool. App Volumes integrates with existing VMware end-user-computing solutions, including View virtual desktops in VMware Horizon 7, and RDSH desktops and applications in Horizon 7. This deployment guide offers a high-level overview of App Volumes and its capabilities, and then delves into discussions of architecture, components, how App Volumes works, and implementation requirements.


The discussion includes how to deploy application stacks (AppStacks) and writable volumes, as well as how to plan for storage, optimal performance, scalability, availability, recoverability, and security. The paper ends with currently known best practices.
