What is App Volumes?
App Volumes decouples applications from the Windows OS by capturing them into virtualized packages that can be attached, detached, updated, or rolled back in real time—without rebuilding images.
Unified app delivery that can help reduce costs
By abstracting Windows applications from the base OS, IT teams can maintain fewer images and may accelerate updates across environments by up to 90%.*
Highly secure lifecycle management
By delivering apps on demand rather than installing them beforehand, App Volumes with Apps on Demand feature helps reduce attack surface while streamlining application management and security.
Flexible deployment across hybrid infrastructures
Reuse a single app package across Horizon, Citrix, Azure Virtual Desktop, and physical Windows PCs - eliminating re-packaging and parallel lifecycle tracks.
