Azure Virtual Desktop- 1/2 day solution workshop

Azure Virtual Desktop (Previously Windows Virtual Desktop) is an Azure based virtual desktop platform that provides a viable strategy to organisations who are looking at cloud based desktop models as a successor to on-premise VDI or as a business continuity strategy. FIT provide a fully managed AVD instance that offers a secure, cloud based desktop solution.

Many customers are looking to move more of their services to cloud but have large on-premise footprints supporting their End User Compute environment (VDI, RDS). A managed AVD platform from FIT presents the opportunity to remove that on-premise footprint and provide users with a secure desktop and application delivery solution that is flexible, scalable and cost effective.

This half day workshop is designed for organisations that are exploring whether Windows Virtual Desktop is a viable desktop and application delivery platform.

In this introductory workshop, we will cover: *AVD overview *AVD Technical Architecture *AVD Pricing Structure *AVD adoption pre-requisites *AVD core use cases *AVD partner eco-system

The workshop will be semi-structured with elements of presentation and discovery discussion. Customers that attend the workshop will come away with:

*An understanding of the architecture that underpins AVD
*A view on the appropriate use cases for AVD *Appreciation of pre-requisites and licensing requirements *Understand the commercial structure within Azure for AVD *Get introduced to the eco-system of 3rd party vendors that enhance AVD capability (Droplet, Liquidware) *Understand how FIT can support and run operations to convert AVD into DaaS

Post workshop, FIT will provide the customer with feedback and recommendations on their AVD adoption strategy.
