Overview

Acquire the skills to build an App Volumes environment for a proof of concept, a pilot, or a live production environment. Delivering Applications with VMware App Volumes 4 starts with an in-depth overview of where the solution fits within the market and its key features, introducing you to application layering and VMware App Volumes. Next, it explains how to install the software and use its management consoles to configure App Volumes. You will understand how to build and configure application layers for delivery and will learn to build and configure writeable volumes for user data and user-installed applications.

In the advanced management section, you will learn to customize package templates and integrate App Volumes with JMP.
