Overview of this book

App Volumes provides a virtualized, real-time application delivery engine for virtual desktop infrastructure and is designed to enable VDI deployments to ensure greater flexibility, agility, and cost reduction. This book starts with an in-depth overview of the architecture and components used to design an optimized solution. We then show you how to install and configure App Volumes for different use cases such as VMware View integration, using VMware ThinApp, Citrix XenApp, and more. Throughout the chapters, we provide hints, tips, and tricks as well as best practices. By the end of the book, you will have built a working App Volumes environment and acquired the skills to build and run a production environment.

Chapter 5. A Guided Tour of the Management Console

Now that we have our App Volumes software installed and have completed the initial configuration tasks, we can start creating and managing our AppStacks and Writable Volumes.

Before we start doing this, we will spend five minutes walking through an overview of the management console so that you can familiarize yourself with where the different options are located and how the console pages are laid out.
