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) utilizes server hardware to run desktop operating systems and software applications on virtual machines. This approach allows businesses to centralize traditional desktop workloads on servers, enhancing security by keeping sensitive applications and data within a secure data center. VDI also supports bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, reducing risks associated with data loss and exposure to corporate espionage.
How does Azure Stack HCI support VDI?
Azure Stack HCI provides an optimal platform for VDI by leveraging a validated hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution and Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Services. This combination enables a highly available and scalable architecture, along with cloud-based capabilities for managing VDI workloads, such as centralized updates and unified security management.
What hardware is recommended for Azure Stack HCI VDI?
Lenovo offers several certified servers for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI that are well-suited for VDI deployment. Notable options include the Lenovo ThinkAgile MX3520 and ThinkSystem SR665, which support up to 2x 8-64 core processors, 3TB of memory, and over 100TB of storage. These servers are designed for scalability and resilience, making them ideal for handling VDI workloads.
