This workshop will demonstrate the benefits of using NetApp VDS to simplify and automate WVD deployment and management in Azure.
This workshop is a cooperation between NetApp and Fast Lane.
Businesses continue to embrace the dynamic of shifting their workforce productivity model from primarily a traditional desktop environment to cloud-driven virtual desktop solutions. Integrating virtual desktop solutions into Azure offers the promise of operational cost efficiencies with the flexibility to support desktop and application access regardless of where the user is physically located…if done right.
NetApp’s Virtual Desktop Service: Your Global Control Plane
NetApp makes virtual desktop provisioning and automation easy. NetApp’s Virtual Desktop Service (VDS) is a global control plane for virtual desktop management that functions as an extension of Azure. With VDS, businesses anywhere in the world can leverage the power of Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) faster, with less risk and cost, as they manage their growing virtual desktop infrastructure.
