Analyzing Performance, User Experience and Price in Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 Cloud PC

Digital workplaces provided by Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 Cloud PC have become increasingly popular. Selecting the right VM type, whether or not accelerated by a GPU, can be challenging. Your choice may have a huge impact on performance and perceived user experience. Join Enterprise Mobility MVP Benny Tritsch as he examines the price/performance ratio across different Azure VM types used in AVD and Windows 365. Several months of scientific EUC Score testing conducted by a group of digital workplace experts are the foundation of the this unique performance data analysis.

Using GPUs to improve Azure Virtual Desktop user experience and scalability

In this session remote graphics expert Benny Tritsch explores the usage of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to improve perceived Azure Virtual Desktop user experience. With GPU acceleration, AVD hosts act more like physical Windows workstations with little perceivable differences in graphics performance. In addition, GPU-accelerated AVD hosts are more scalable in multi-user scenarios. Learn how GPUs work in an AVD context and how network latency influences user experience. After attending this session, you will know the AVD use cases that benefit most from GPU-enabled host VMs.
