01 · What it is

Virtual Apps and Desktops, made clear.

CVAD on-premises remains the choice of those who want everything in their own perimeter: the control plane at home, the LTSR releases (Long Term Service Release) with years of support without chasing versions, and no dependency on external services — a requirement banks, healthcare and government know well.

The zero-mile workspace

Design for resilience

Redundant controllers, protected database, LHC active: the VDI that holds even when something falls.

A disciplined LTSR cycle

CUs applied with method: the platform stable and supported for years.

Perimeter hardening

Gateway, MFA and session policies: remote access without a VPN and without shivers.

VDA capacity

User density per host measured: the sizing with YOUR apps' numbers.

On-prem: LTSR, FMA and the architecture that holds

Virtual Apps and Desktops on-premises remains the choice of banks, government and healthcare: the FMA architecture (Delivery Controller, StoreFront, Director, SQL database) sits in your perimeter, the LTSR releases give 5 years of support (plus extensions) with the quarterly Cumulative Updates, the zone design covers the multiple sites, the Local Host Cache keeps the accesses even with the database down; the licensing is concurrent or user/device: the sizing is a trade.

  • LTSR — 5 years on the same release: the stability the regulated demand
  • FMA — controllers, StoreFront and SQL in your perimeter: complete sovereignty
  • Local Host Cache — the brokering continues even without the database: the access doesn't fall
  • Zone — the remote sites with local brokering: the WAN isn't a single point
  • CU trimestrali — predictable patching: the windows planned
  • Concurrent licensing — the per-session licenses: the night shift doesn't pay for the day
