AppVolumes 3.0 リリース

AppVolumes 3.0 がリリースされました。
機能が追加され、エディションが Standard, Advanced, Enterprise に分かれるようになりました。
http://www.vmware.com/jp/products/appvolumes/compare.html


  • AppToggle – Enable per user entitlement and installation of applications within a single AppStack for maximum flexibility. Reduce the number of AppStacks that need to be managed, lower storage capacity and management costs even further, improve performance, and allow applications to share or have different dependencies in a single AppStack. In this release, AppToggle is supported for VMDK only.



  • AppCapture with AppIsolation – Easily capture and update applications to simplify application packaging, delivery, and isolation with a command-line interface that enables IT to distribute AppStack creation to different teams and merge AppStacks for simplified delivery and management. With support for AppIsolation, AppCapture also integrates with VMware ThinApp® to enable IT to deliver native applications and ThinApp applications in one consistent format through AppStacks.



  • AppScaling with Multizones – Allows integrated application availability across datacenters with replication of AppStacks across sites. Automatic import services scan file shares to populate AppStacks into data stores across VMware vCenter® instances.



  • Integrated Application, User Management, and Monitoring Architecture – App Volumes is built on an integrated application-management and monitoring platform that recognizes patterns to create simple, yet powerful workflows for faster provisioning and application lifecycle management. Manage users within this new platform with context-aware user policy and profile management.



  • Unified Administration Console – Use a simple admin view to deliver and manage applications, apply user policy, and proactively monitor your desktop and published application environments.

UEM 9.0 リリース

UEM が 9 になり、
Application Blocking, Folder Redirection, Horizon Policies, ThinApp 5.2 support, Secured approach という機能が増えたようです。

原文

  • Application Blocking
Application Blocking lets you control the applications that can be started based on paths. If you attempt to run an unauthorized application from another folder, the launch of that application is blocked and a message is displayed.
  • Folder Redirection
Folder Redirection lets you configure redirection of a folder from within the VMware User Environment Manager. Hence Active Directory GPO’s for redirection is not required.
  • Horizon Policies
Horizon Policies or Smart Policies is an integration between UEM 9 and Horizon 7 with conditional support for poolnames, tags, endpoint location, and View name and IP information. Administrators can use Horizon Policies to contextually and dynamically control the system clipboard, client drive, USB access, printing capabilities, and bandwidth profiles for PCoIP connections.
  • ThinApp 5.2 support
ThinApp 5.2 support is an integration between UEM 9 and ThinApp 5.2. You can use ThinApp 5.2 support in UEM to streamline the support for many UEM features instantly such as Personalization and Predefined Settings.
  • Secured approach
User Environment Manager provides a secured by default approach by logging the users out in case the Flex config files path is not available at logon.
NOTE: Drive mapping with explicit credentials is no longer available in User Environment Manager 9.0 due to security reasons. However, the existing drives that are mapped, still function correctly.
