VMware Workspace ONE Advanced (VCAP-DTM Design) — Question 61

A customer is struggling with how to support application delivery to its highly mobile sales force. There are two Windows applications that need to be delivered, which could present a challenge. Both applications use a local copy of the central database and the applications are frequently being updated.
During assessments and user interviews, the sales personnel indicated that they frequently use these two applications while traveling in areas with poor connectivity. The sales people rarely connect to the company network. Pushing out updates using a traditional deployment system is therefore difficult.
Which solution from VMware would solve the customer's situation?

Answer options

• A. Package the applications as an App Volumes Appstack. Manage delivery and updates off the Appstack using VMware Identity Manager.
• B. Package the applications using ThinApp and manage delivery and updates using VMware Identity Manager.
• C. Install the applications on RDS Hosts and publish them using Horizon 7. Since installed centrally, management of the applications will now be possible using traditional methods.
• D. Package the application using ThinApp for isolation and publish them to users using Horizon 7. Place the ThinApp packages on a network share for central and easy updates.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because ThinApp allows the applications to be isolated, which is important for compatibility and performance. Additionally, publishing them through Horizon 7 and keeping them on a network share simplifies updates. Options A and B do not address the need for local copies and offline use effectively, while option C involves central installation, which does not suit the sales team's connectivity issues.
