Microsoft Azure Stack HCI Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
Discover how you can easily deploy virtual desktop infrastructure on Azure Stack HCI. This solution brief has the details.
What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)?
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) allows organizations to run desktop operating systems and software on virtual machines hosted on centralized servers. This approach offers several advantages, such as keeping sensitive applications and data secure in a data center, supporting bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies without mixing personal and corporate data, and reducing liability associated with lost corporate assets. VDI is also effective for remote and branch workers, as well as providing access for contractors and partners.
How does Azure Stack HCI support VDI?
Azure Stack HCI serves as an optimal platform for VDI, leveraging a validated hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution and Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Services. It offers a highly available and scalable architecture, along with cloud-based capabilities for protecting VDI workloads. Key features include centralized update management through Azure Update Management and unified security management for VDI clients.
What hardware is recommended for Azure Stack HCI VDI?
Organizations should consider Lenovo certified Azure Stack HCI solutions, such as the Lenovo ThinkAgile MX3520 and ThinkSystem SR665. These servers support up to 2x 8-64 core processors, 3TB of memory, and over 100TB of storage, making them suitable for VDI deployments. They feature scalable, modular designs and industry-leading resilience, which can help minimize downtime and optimize workloads.
