Built-In Resilience and Reliable Architecture Highlights for Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop
The session titled “Built-In Resilience and Reliable Architecture Highlights for Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop” was presented during the Microsoft Technical Takeoff by Tom Hickling, Principal Product Manager at Microsoft. The session focused on how the architecture of Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop is designed for resilience, reliability, and delivering a high-quality experience for users at global scale.
- Single points of failure that could impact the entire service are eliminated to ensure continuous availability.
- Best network routes are chosen to provide the lowest latency and optimal user experience at all times.
- Global scale is managed and delivered in a resilient manner across all management features and capabilities, providing a strong foundational infrastructure.
- Customer data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
- Data is stored using resilient storage with multiple redundant copies.
- Additional Azure capabilities and services are integrated to provide enhanced resilience for the virtual machines driving workloads in both Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365.
