The smarter way to manage continuous change across your applications and digital workspaces.

Login VSI is the industry’s first digital workspace reliability platform that increases the velocity of change and preserves the performance of Windows applications and digital workspaces - cloud, virtual and physical.

If you’ve experienced problems with Microsoft Teams on AVD, such as crashing, restarting, staying on the "Waiting on Teams" screen, or just showing a full white Teams application window, you aren’t alone. Microsoft Teams carries a heavy performance penalty on the session host and often requires some creative troubleshooting to achieve a smooth experience. 

Join Blair Parkhill, Strategic Alliances and Product Management, as he shares the key factors that can impact performance and tips to optimize the experience:

• Best practices installing Teams on session hosts
• Tricks to minimize the performance impact 
• Ways to validate the benefits of media offloading

Optimizing Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)

A reliable, scalable test environment aligned to the needs of your business is imperative. Setting up a test environment effectively can be challenging, especially when used for verifying technically dense digital workspaces. It’s a well-known fact that a reasonable amount of time is consumed by environmental problems, which in turn affect the results and overall test schedules. At the same time, test environments can be over engineered and add incremental costs to ensure adequate scaling that mirrors your production systems. Join this session to understand the tips and tricks of architecting the best test environments so that your results reliably tell you what you need to know.

[Vision] Expert Panel: The Future of End User Computing

Organizations largely tend to think about cybersecurity as an IT problem that can be effectively addressed by deploying and managing the right software and tools. Often, they fail to consider the employee experience and how it will impact the end user’s productivity and workflows. Worse yet is that testing the impact of security tools, policy settings and authentication options isn’t always feasible. Login Enterprise was designed to run in an entirely secured environment and our simulated users only exist inside the user session without requiring administrator access. Join this session to hear how one customer uses this unique advantage to close the gap.

[Vision] When Work Isn't a Place

For many organizations deploying VDI or DaaS, a best-effort approach to planning and forecasting user experience, capacity, and ongoing costs is the norm. Whether you read blogs, listen to experts’ advice with easy rules or ratios, or rely on hardware or consulting vendor recommendations around sizing (all of which are excellent starting points), the reality is they know nothing about the DNA of your environment. Once you layer in your personas, applications, agents, and configurations, they create your organization’s unique resource footprint that directly impacts your environment. As load and compute demand increases and the environment changes over time, user experience, operations, and costs become unpredictable, affecting you and your team’s service delivery reputation. Join this session to understand how Login Enterprise helps organizations evaluate, benchmark, and select suitable digital workspaces while providing a strategy to maintain consistency throughout the life of your VDI or DaaS service.

[Vision] The Key to Consistent User Experience, Operations, and Predictable Cost

Now that remote and hybrid experiences have become standard, End User Computing (EUC) teams have new opportunities to rethink their approach to digital workspaces and applications and embrace a culture that delivers an engaging and seamless experience. At the same time, IT still needs to address user support concerns, manage ongoing deployments of updates and patches, and maintain critical endpoint security. The challenge is how to improve both sides – speed up technology transformations and satisfy greater LOB and employee expectations. The new normal for keeping pace in the age of change requires an agile mindset and a different approach. This keynote explores key EUC challenges and offers practical advice for building and maintaining great digital workspaces.

The Cure for Digital Workspace Reliability in Healthcare

How deploying a testing factory improves the digital workspace experience. With the rate of change to the desktop image accelerating to near continuous, automation has been a lifeline for the EUC Engineer. But automation without testing is simply a way to get to a disaster faster. This conversation will focus on the need to build up an automated testing capability to match the scale and velocity of changes that are being deployed thereby allowing the EUC Engineer to focus only on those changes that fail to pass, rather than trying to find the needle in the haystack.

Mark Bowker, Sr. Analyst at ESG and Richard Scannell, EVP Customer Success at Login VSI will be talking about the current rate of change, hybrid work support, employee satisfaction, IT efficiency, and the role of testing. Learn why automated testing has become so important, and what long term value it brings to your organization in achieving your business goals.

EUC Testing - No Longer an Afterthought

If you are evaluating or migrating to Azure Virtual Desktops (AVD), choosing the best Windows operating system for your environment might not be as straightforward as years past. You can’t compare the performance profile of traditional on-premises server-based computing to the performance profile when running your desktops in the cloud. As you balance cost, performance, and user experience, you are stuck weighing the pros and cons without comparable data points. 

This webinar explores the results of joint testing conducted by Login VSI and Microsoft and how the outcomes can positively impact your AVD journey. Join Blair Parkhill, Login VSI, and Jim Moyle, Sr. Program Manager for AVD at Microsoft, as they unravel some interesting discoveries and recommendations.

You’ll learn more about: 
• Sizing best practices
• New experience and performance benchmarks 
• Tips to improve application performance

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Performance with Windows 10 & 11 – Which is Better?

Struggling with the rate of application updates? Trying to automate the deployment process? The desire to modernize change deployment makes sense, given the increase in updates. Gartner suggests a Continuous Endpoint Engineering model, aligning with the classic DevOps cycle: testing in pre-production, and validating change in production.

In this session we discuss how the forces accelerating change and the black spot in QA testing yields poor results. Learn how automating QA will improve your change velocity - resulting in an accelerated time to market, reduced risk, and decreased cost.
