Application Virtualization Dashboard – Now in Beta Release!

Now this is something i have been working with some of our internal teams for a while. The Solution Accelerators team has looked into a requirement to help reporting in App-V. This really will be a great step in the right direction for helping customer report there application virtualization estate better. There has already been a dashboard released for SCCM but this dashboard is for the App-V Estates out there.

The Application Virtualization (App-V) Dashboard helps customers monitor virtualized software applications with a graphical display that makes it easy to stay on top of application usage, health, and compliance. Using the Dashboard’s built-in charts, gauges, and tables, customers can track any APP-V dataset in near-real time.  

The Dashboard is now in beta release. Want to have an advance look at the Dashboard, and a chance to provide feedback so it best meets your needs? Join the beta program!
