Secure Your Environment with Three Core Resiliency Pillars
Building a secure and reliable cloud environment requires resiliency at every layer of the service. This approach is centered around three key pillars: the connectivity platform, which delivers a globally available end-to-end service to connect users securely to their Cloud PC or virtual desktop.
The management platform, which provides resilient infrastructure to simplify configuration and administration; and workload resiliency, which strengthens the virtual machine layer to address specific availability and performance needs. Together, these pillars ensure consistent, secure and dependable experiences across Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop environments.
| Connectivity platform | Management platform | Workload resiliency |
|---|---|---|
| A global, highly available end- to-end service to connect users around the world to their Cloud PC or Azure Virtual Desktop session. | Resilient infrastructure that streamlines the configuration and management of the Cloud PC or Azure Virtual Desktop environment. | Capabilities provided at the workload or virtual machine level to address specific resiliency need |
