Dynamic AVD provisioning

Provision and completely de-provision Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) automatically.  Only pay for what you use.

The problem

Leaving Azure Virtual Desktops’ running when you’re not using them costs you money. Even if you’re obsessively powering them down, you’ll notice your Azure credits trickling away each month.

Power management isn’t good enough!

We’re evaluating Citrix and AVD and want to reduce the cost of testing them both.

We don’t want to pay for desktops we’re not using at night, weekends or during the holidays.

We want to cut public cloud costs. How can we make AWS, Google and Azure pricing manageable?

AVD provisioning reduces costs

Take control of virtual desktop costs on Azure

We don’t just power off your VMs on a schedule or when demand wains. We deprovision the VM entirely ensuring they’re not even in your resource groups anymore.  When your VM is de-provisioned the storage is deleted along with all traces of the VM from resource groups. 

You’re no longer paying for resources and your storage bill plummets.

Azure virtual desktops ONLY when you need them

Why pay for resources when there’s no one around to use them?

01

Scheduling

Create virtual desktops based on your organisation’s work day. Then deprovision them when they’re not needed i.e. at night or at weekends.

02

Monitoring

Constantly monitor utilisation and performance of the desktop servers and apply policy decisions to ensure that resources are used optimally.

03

Autoscaling

If resource utilisation such as disk queuing, CPU, or memory utilization passes a set threshold provision a new VM to help handle the increased demand.

04

User experience

Configure VDAs for different zones to manage VMs for users across all of your regions.  End-users get the best experience based on their locality.

Citrix on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure

Considering Citrix on Azure, AWS or Google Cloud? We can do that too.  Get in touch to tell us about your project.

As I obsessively ensure my VMs are powered down the same way I make sure my front door is locked 3 times before going to bed each night, my credits still get chewed away even with the VMs off!
