This session will focus on exploring the scenarios available for VDI Session based, where Azure IaaS can be used. We will show how to cloudburst an existing on premise VDI Session based deployment with Azure RDS, and how to transform an VDI Session based solution in an as-close-as-it-gets-to-DaaS solution. The session focuses on available tools for automation, monitoring, configuration and also the scaling features which you need to take into account
We assume you are already familiar with concepts like VDI and VDI Session based, DaaS, Azure IaaS, SCOM, AppController, CoreIO including ADDS, DHCP, DNS. This is why we will skip the intro pleasantries and get to the demo side of things fairly fast.
