Back in 2007, when the VMware team was outlining the benefits of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), our presentations included a very specific use case: “global pandemic”. No, we didn’t have a crystal ball through which we could foresee the COVID crisis, more than a decade in advance. But even back then, we were looking at the security benefits of VDI, if global health crisis did suddenly force workforces to go remote.

VMware enables businesses of all kinds to set up and employ virtual machines (VMs) and servers. These virtual instances provide an abundance of benefits, such as faster speeds, reduced costs, and reduced downtime. However, they can also be quite difficult to manage. Without proper VMware monitoring software, these virtual instances can suffer severe performance loss.

Beyond VMware Horizon, eG Innovations includes purpose-built, fully integrated modules for other VMware technologies and even third-party products likely to be used alongside Horizon. Technologies supported include the Blast Extreme protocol, VMware Unified Access Gateway (UAG), thin clients, and of course, App Volumes. Today, I’ll focus on how to ensure that you can monitor App Volumes both via full insights via App Volumes Manager but also via continuous monitoring of user endpoints.
