With desktop virtualization under consideration, Anunta stepped in with proven capabilities and demonstrated the versatility of a cloud-hosted computing platform that could help them build a truly people-centric solution, one that could resolve pressing issues and deliver superior benefits.
Anunta conducted a comprehensive landscape assessment, including analysis of application performance, hardware configuration, user personas, and review of security policies. Leveraging outcomes of the due diligence, Anunta was able to architect a solution in-line with best-in-class architecture and technology standards. Anunta implemented Citrix XenDesktops on Azure public cloud that can be accessed across branches through thin clients. The network architecture was optimized, and use of Azure ExpressRoute was suggested to support seamless branch user connectivity. Anunta first deployed a limited landscape for 200 users on Azure.
Successful implementation of the PoC helped validate the architecture and alleviate concerns around desktop and application performance.
Targeted strategies were implemented for the infrastructure foundation, superior user experience, centralized device management, and secure system access.
Anunta’s AIOps monitoring tool, an intelligent monitoring platform, was implemented to pre-empt issues and recommend mitigative action. A design architecture was crystallized based on due diligence findings and a suitable technology mix was identified. Anunta minimized service disruption with high touch wave-based migration approach, iterative testing, and persistent feedback loops.
