Revolutionize Your App Validation

Over the past several months, AMD, Microsoft, and Login VSI have collaborated to evaluate the performance of Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for Azure Local using both the AMD EPYC™ 9004 and AMD EPYC™ 8004 series processors.

AVD on Azure Local allows you to run virtual desktops and applications on Azure infrastructure, but with the advantage of running on-prem, in a hybrid cloud setup. It's like a bridge between your local datacenter and the cloud, letting you use the best of both worlds. Using the massive scalability potential of AMD EPYC™ 9004 series processors on-prem, it’s possible to drive down per-user costs while improving the performance and user experience.

In this webinar we will cover:
- AVD on Azure Local Architecture
- Best practices for unlocking massive performance and scalability with AMD EPYC™ processors
- How many AVD knowledge worker sessions a single server can host (hint: it may be a new record in the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure world)

Unlocking the Power of Hybrid Cloud VDI: AVD for Azure Local for Next-Level Enterprise Performance

Leee Jeffries and Edwin de Bruin are plunged into the perilous maze of a complex EUC stack, echoing the Prince’s original 1989 quest. Like the Prince leaping over chasms, evading deadly traps, and unlocking hidden doors, they must navigate an intricate architecture of interconnected products driving a critical application.

But the stakes are higher: a relentless clock ticks down, driven by unyielding business demands. Time is their greatest enemy, adding urgency to their every move. Armed with Login Enterprise as their Sword, they slash through the layers of complexity, exposing subtle performance shifts and ensuring the environment operates flawlessly.

As the stack evolves—much like the Prince's path revealing new dangers—they must act swiftly and precisely. Each second lost could mean missed deadlines, degraded user experiences, or system failure. With every leap of logic and analytical strike, Leee and Edwin keep the EUC stack strong, proving that mastery of the system and the ticking clock go hand in hand in their race against time.

Mastering the Multi-Layered EUC Environment: A Journey Through the Maze

In this exclusive webinar, join Jim McSorley, VP of Digital Workplace Enablement at a leading mid-sized retail bank, and Michael Kent, CPO of Login VSI, as they dive into the critical role of fully automated endpoint testing.
 
Discover how you can create automated persona-based workloads, using a low code/no code system that allows you to simply and quickly test things like:
- Impact on performance and functionality of your apps during security tool changes or updates
- Test new applications and updates for functional or performance impact to other applications
- Leverage the same tests across various hardware platforms (Windows Endpoints), hypervisor or cloud infrastructure changes.

Our guest speaker will show you how they identify performance and functionality issues before they happen. Leveraging automated tests to baseline Windows desktops and corporate applications, allows this organization to functionality test any change and identify and report performance impact before the change can impact the organization’s users.
 
Key takeaways include:
- A/B testing to compare past and current desktop releases—what’s changed and why it matters.
- Overcoming the challenge of new software updates and understanding their full impact on your environment.
- Enhancing network diagnostics and performance, even across remote locations, with automated security testing.
- Validating or identifying individuals or devices that report “poor performance”
