The golden images distributed to hundreds of workstations: the update in one night, the rollback in one click.
The secret of scale in VDI is the single image: with MCS (clones from the hypervisor) or PVS (streaming the image from the network), hundreds of desktops are born from ONE golden image. The monthly patch is applied there; at reboot, the whole fleet is updated. And if something goes wrong: rollback to the previous version, in one click.
Storage, network and scale decide: we've done the matrix a hundred times, we'll do it on your case.
A documented, automated build sequence: the golden image reproducible, not artisanal.
FSLogix for profiles and Office: the non-persistent that feels persistent.
The new image on a pilot group before the fleet: the wild night avoided.
Two provisioning engines: MCS clones from the golden image onto the hypervisors'/clouds' storage (simple, everywhere), PVS streams the image from the network (diskless targets: the write cache in RAM with overflow) and wins in the big physical fleets and the classrooms; the golden image is the heart: one image, a thousand identical desktops, the update is done once and promoted by versions with rollback; App Layering separates OS, platform and apps into composable layers.
From 100 workstations up, the only sensible way.
The critical CVE closed on the fleet in 24 hours.
Classrooms, shifts, call centers: the desktop always clean.
