Are you eager to implement cost optimizations while enhancing the end-users' experience with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)? Look no further! Fabs Solutions brings you a comprehensive guide to achieving these goals specifically for Personal (Dedicated) AVD environments.
1. Session Timeout Disconnects
Kickstart your cost optimization journey by implementing session timeout disconnects. Log off users automatically when they are no longer actively using their AVD, especially towards the end of the working day. This not only saves on resource utilization but also ensures a fresh start for users the next time they log in.
2. Scaling Plans
Take control of your VMs with strategic scaling plans. Power up VMs at the start of the day to align with the users' work hours, and intelligently power down VMs that remain inactive or without any active user sessions. This dynamic approach optimizes resource allocation, promoting efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
3. VM Rightsizing
Ensure optimal resource utilization by implementing VM rightsizing. Allocate users the correct VM size based on their actual workload, considering factors such as CPU and RAM requirements. This not only enhances user experience but also prevents unnecessary resource wastage.
4. Auto Grow
Maintain a seamless onboarding experience for new joiners and address break-fix scenarios efficiently with Auto Grow. Ensure you always have a minimum of unallocated (spare) AVDs available, ready to accommodate new users or replace existing instances as needed.
5. Inactivity Reporting
Fine-tune your environment with inactivity reporting. Define the number of days an AVD has not been used by an allocated user, and generate insightful reports. This not only aids in understanding usage patterns but also enables proactive management of resources.
While these optimizations align seamlessly with "Personal" AVD Host Pools, managing multiple host pools with unique business requirements can be a challenge. This is where Nerdio emerges as a valuable asset. In various roles, Fabs Solutions has leveraged Nerdio to showcase substantial cost savings and improved end-user experiences during trial periods (PoCs). Beyond the tangible benefits, Nerdio also streamlines the efforts of engineering teams, freeing them to concentrate on other critical aspects of the business.
Embark on your journey to cost-effective and user-friendly AVD environments with Fabs Solutions. Our expertise combined with strategic tools like Nerdio ensures not just cost savings, but a holistic improvement in your AVD ecosystem, driving efficiency and user satisfaction. Experience the difference – where optimization meets excellence!
