Deliver On-Premises Performance for Virtual Desktops
SoftNAS and public clouds offer a compelling solution for IT organizations looking to meet the high expectations for end-user satisfaction in a virtual environment, especially as many workers are now working remotely from the office with less bandwidth than commonly found in a controlled office environment.
- Cloud-based Desktops – Moving the back end from internal IT infrastructure to public clouds enables relocation of the desktop to a cloud region nearest the users
- Business Applications – Co-location of the business applications to the same location of the cloud-based desktop significantly reduces latency and overheard
- Cloud Performance – Running on state-of-the-art cloud hardware built for massive scale with sizable transmission lines
- Cloud-based Services – Run desktops and business apps on same cloud hardware (e.g. Teams, Office365, Web Apps)
- Data – SoftNAS manages data flows outside the virtual desktop environment for security and performance benefits
User Acceptance of Virtual Desktop Performance
Virtual desktop deployments are primarily measured by the user experience of running apps locally and the responsiveness of the service to user input. Achieving high user satisfaction is critical for a successful VDI deployment. SoftNAS Cloud NAS provides essential features to meet user expectations.
