What Is App Volumes? Storage Group – You can configure Storage Groups to automatically replicate Application Packages or distribute Writable Volumes across multiple datastores. You can also use them to define a group of datastores that should all contain the same Application Packages, such as when using departmental applications. App Volumes Manager – This is the web-based interface integrated with Active Directory (AD) and vSphere, which consists of services that orchestrate application delivery and interface with the vSphere environment. You can use App Volumes Manager to manage assignments of volumes to users, groups, and target computers, collect Application Packages and Writable Volumes usage information, maintain a history of administrative actions, and automate assignment of applications and Writable Volumes for agents during desktop startup and user login. SQL Server – The App Volumes database is a Microsoft SQL or SQL Server Express database that contains configuration information for Application Packages, Writable Volumes, and end users. Active Directory – App Volumes uses the Active Directory (AD) database which contains critical data about your environment and resources, and your end users and which entitlements are granted to each. vCenter Server – App Volumes uses vCenter Server to connect to resources within the vSphere environment. vSphere Hosts – These are the data storage devices on which the ESX or ESXi hypervisor has been installed, each of which can create multiple VMs. For details, see Introduction to Omnissa App Volumes. ©️ Omnissa LLC.
