Microsoft Azure-Ready VDI Performance with Wyse vWorkspace 8.6 Wyse vWorkspace desktop virtualization software makes it easy for service providers to deploy and run desktop virtualization with Microsoft technologies. vWorkspace 8.6 supports Microsoft Hyper-V and Azure platforms, as well as Windows 10-based virtual machines (VMs). vWorkspace 8.6 lowers the cost of hosting Windows remote applications on Microsoft Azure by up to 67 percent a day. Service providers can power on/off and manage remote desktop sessions on Microsoft Azure, reducing cost by powering down unused sessions within the public cloud. It is also possible to run vWorkspace from the Azure Marketplace to get started quickly. Wyse vWorkspace 8.6 is a central part of Dell's unique end-to-end Dell Appliance or Wyse - vWorkspace desktop virtualization datacenter appliance solution, announced earlier this year. It is a Dell-engineered solution designed to provide organizations of all sizes with cost-effective virtualization of Windows desktops and applications that can be managed without specialized staff or consultants. In addition to Microsoft Hyper-V and Azure platforms, it also supports other private or public cloud-hosted and client-hosted application and desktop virtualization technologies, enabling hybrid cloud scenarios with the combination of appliances powered by vWorkspace and Azure-based desktops and applications as a service. Additional new benefits and features of vWorkspace 8.6 include:
