July 29, 2021 On July 14th, 2021 at the annual Inspire conference, Microsoft announced a new service that holds the promise to establish Windows desktop virtualization as a modern, cloud-native way to deliver Windows applications to users on any device. Coming on the heels of Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365 is a service that is complimentary to AVD...
July 22, 2020 July 16, 2020 April 30, 2020 Today marks a new milestone in the evolution of Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD). The “Spring Update” release of WVD adds exciting functionality to this very popular Azure offering. Much of the new functionality comes from customer feedback and is welcomed by many. Here are some of the new features you’ll find in WVD Spring...
March 13, 2020 Troubleshooting performance issues in virtual desktop environments is challenging. It requires a solid grasp of the deployment architecture and an understanding of how the various system components interact with each other. Poor or inconsistent performance is the single biggest reason for an end-user to be unhappy with their virtual desktop and is by far the...
February 26, 2020 In part 5 of 5, we're discussing Network-related performance issues in WVD environments. Network latency and packet loss can create a poor end-user experience. Bandwidth, on its own, is not a likely contributor to poor performance unless the bandwidth is very constrained and that leads to latency of packet loss. It is very important to draw the distinction between bandwidth, latency, and packet loss. They are different, and often independent, measures of network quality and troubleshooting one when the problem is with another can lead to lots of wasted effort and erroneous conclusions.
February 19, 2020 So far, we've covered how to troubleshoot WVD performance for CPU and RAM. Troubleshooting disk performance is a bit more challenging, however. Slow disk response and long disk queues can have significant performance impact on end-user experience.
