Improve the delivery and management of clinical applications,
desktops, and developer environments while reducing costs
and optimizing existing investments.
App Volumes speeds healthcare IT’s delivery of personalized applications and user environments.
Deliver Better Services, More Eciently
Digital transformation presents healthcare organizations with both challenges
and opportunities. Under increasing regulatory, compliance, and service
delivery pressures, healthcare leaders continue to look to IT to help improve
the quality, availability, and cost of patient care.
IT organizations have proactively responded, deploying VDI and published
application solutions that improve the availability of patient information and
enable centralized management and delivery of workspace services to
caregivers across devices and locations. However, to meet specific business
challenges, organizations have often combined desktop and hosted application
solutions such as VMware Horizon®, Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop , and
Microsoft RDSH platforms, to achieve their desktop and application
virtualization benefits.
As healthcare IT teams seek to optimize and consolidate environments—
further reducing cost and complexity—they are looking for a solution to solve
application delivery, unified application, and user management challenges.
Image management and application packaging are key challenges associated
with slow and painful application install and maintenance. Complex testing
processes and legacy product versions that teams dare not touch result in
higher infrastructure, support, and operational costs.
Speed Application Delivery
App Volumes is an application and user management solution from VMware
that reduces IT costs and helps deliver consistent user experiences. By using
App Volumes for faster application delivery and lifecycle management,
healthcare organizations can continue to leverage existing investments in
virtual solutions including VMware RDS hosted applications and Citrix XenApp
and XenDesktop. IT can improve the operational eciency of an existing

App Volumes, which delivers apps at scale, is designed to meet the needs
of healthcare organizations of all sizes.
With App Volumes, healthcare IT can begin the transformation to an end-
user compute platform that meets the needs and requirements of all of the
organization’s clinical and operational users. Whether the organization is
delivering clinical applications in a virtual desktop, hosted applications such as
Epic Hyperspace to shared clinical workstations, or virtual desktop environments
to o-shore developers, App Volumes dynamically improves performance,
reduces infrastructure requirements, and provides the high service levels users
demand. Moreover, App Volumes supports key developer applications such
as Microsoft Visual Studio for .NET, Eclipse for Java, Fiddler, and Eclipse Web
Tools Platform.
Solution Details
App Volumes is available as a standalone product (in App Volumes Standard,
Advanced, and Enterprise Editions) or as part of VMware Horizon® 7 Enterprise
Edition, which also features the following solutions:
• VMware User Environment Manager™ – Enables personalization and dynamic
policy configuration across any virtual, physical, and cloud-based environment.
Policy enforcement can be contextually driven through User Environment
Manager to meet compliance and regulatory requirements such as HIPAA.
User Environment Manager simplifies end-user profile management by
providing healthcare organizations with a single, scalable solution that
leverages existing infrastructure.
• VMware vRealize® Operations for Horizon® – Helps IT easily troubleshoot
Horizon and Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop environments to reduce
downtime. Uptime is critical for healthcare organizations. By integrating
published application data into the broader vRealize Operations monitoring,
IT can proactively identify and remediate issues across the infrastructure
before they aect patient care, helping to improve system performance and
avoid disruption.
• VMware App Volumes – Provides fast, secure, high-availability, high-
performance application delivery for end users and employees. Healthcare
organizations must manage and deliver thousands of applications. With App
Volumes, IT can rapidly deploy applications using less infrastructure while
enhancing user experience and reducing the cost of application management.
• VMware ThinApp® – Eliminates application conflicts and streamlines
management. ThinApp adds application compatibility to the virtual workspace,
enabling disparate applications to run side by side on a workspace or desktop.
IT can run legacy versions of healthcare applications requiring older browser
versions together with newer patient-care applications—with no conflict on
the same workspace.
• VMware Identity Manager™ – Simplifies end-user experiences by delivering
applications into a single, aggregated workspace, securely delivered on
any device. Caregivers can provide fast responses to patient needs through
anytime, anywhere access without compromising sensitive information.
At the same time IT administrators enjoy simpler, centralized, policy-
based management.
