Let me tell you why WVD allows users to connect from any device. The WVD experience on Mac and other OS is indistinguishable from native. It’s that good. Extremely fast logon times. Remember that. WVD offers extremely fast logon times…it’s because we use containerized user profiles, but the net result is extremely fast logon times. It should be no surprise that Windows devices are advantaged, because we can do more with Windows devices. Customers with Windows devices will have a “like- local” Windows experience, and the best support we can offer. You’ll notice two of our Core Services called out on this page – 0365 and Teams. Engineering is working hard to make sure that customers get the best experience possible, when they use 0365 and Teams in a virtual deployment. Best experience for 0365, for example, means that , calendar and outlook performance is on par with using 0365 on your windows client. Containerized User Profiles (FSLogix) with fast VHD load times Uncompromised O365 and calendar performance, Real-time Outlook search Persistent and non persistent environments Best conferencing and media experience Multimedia redirection capability, high- performance, low latency audio & video calling Office 365 ProPlus also supported on Windows Server 2019 (with OneDrive Files-on-Demand capabilities)

Enhanced Security with Simplified Configuration
Azure AD Security Services Reduced Attack Surface Granular Access Control Isolated User Sessions Reverse connect technology eliminates the need to open inbound ports to the VMs Sophisticated security services easily configured through Azure AD (e.g. MFA, CA, etc.) Multiple admins can be assigned role-based access control Isolated user sessions in both single and multi- session environments WVD customers benefit from all the investment we’ve put into Azure Security. And customers can configure familiar Azure Security services, as they build out their deployment There are 3 security advantages which belong to the WVD service alone - the attack surface is reduced, because we use reverse connect technology. Essentially that means we don’t open inbound ports to VMs, so there are fewer places for bad actors to attack - The ability to define role-based access means the customer can parse out administration tasks, and also protect their most sensitive user groups and work loads - Finally, every customer will ask you this. Are user sessions isolated, even in a multi-session environment? Yes. They are. That’s important to communicate…

With the move of mailboxes from Exchange on-prem to O365, Online mode was not acceptable due to client perf issues resulting from high latency. When customers switched to cached mode, startup times were slow as a full redownload of OST files was required at boot and mail items sync'ed after calendar. With Cached Mode improvements Outlook now sync Inbox before Calendar so users start seeing mails appear in your inbox immediately. On subsequent boots Outlook no longer have to redownload the OST file as its persisted with FSLogix. Note the Outlook changes are in Office ProPlus Subscription only, not perpetual. * Coming soon

Windows 10 Experience at Multi-session Cost
Cost-optimized infrastructure Superior Economics Windows 10 Experience at Multi-session Cost Customer Scenario – From Windows 10 single-session on-prem to Windows 10 multi-session in WVD Trade many small dedicated VMs for few large shared VMs (with higher utilization and lower operational costs) 1 user to 1 smaller VM with low utilization Windows 10 Single-session on-prem Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-session in WVD Many users per 1 larger VM with high utilization and lower operational costs Example Economic Benefit $ per user per month … … -85% $40* The first economic benefit for infrastructure is you can have Windows 10 experience at multi-session cost. It matters to you because with today’s VDI solutions you’ll have to either go with Windows Server RDS which compromises on user experience or Windows 10 single-session which compromises on cost; but with WVD, you can get both. Let’s take a look at a customer migration scenario here. If you are using Windows 10 single-session on-prem today for better user experience (against Windows Server RDS deployment), WVD is the best solution for you going forward because not only it provides local like Windows 10 experience for your end users but also saves you big bucks via multi-session deployment. Let me explain why. For a single session deployment on the left hand side, you’ll need 1 small VM per user, which usually ends up with low utilization. In comparison, for a multi-session deployment in the middle pane, you can have a larger shared VM to support multiple users so that you have higher utilization. in addition to that, since you’ll have fewer VMs, you can also expect lower operational costs. As a result, you can expect your multi-session cost to be around 1/6 of your single-session cost as seen on the right hand side. This is the key differentiation of WVD as you will find no other solution in the marketplace that supports Windows 10 multi-session. Calculation logic and assumptions: $40 and $7 PUPM includes compute, storage, and networking cost, estimated for medium user type (basic Microsoft Office apps users) based on default assumptions from Microsoft guidance Key assumptions: Users 1,000 medium users Azure Region US East Compute Single-session: 1 user per D2s v3 Multi-session: 32 users per D8s v3 3-year reserved instance rate Storage 20 GB storage requirements per user with Azure NetApp Files Networking 150 kbps egress per user with virtual network US East same region Note 1: See Appendix [WVD Cost Estimation for Win10 multi-session vs. Win10 single-session] for the complete cost calculation Note 2: Numbers are rounded for simplicity $7 Windows 10 Single SessionWindows 10 Single Session Windows 10 Multi-sessionWindows 10 Multi-session 1 user per D2s v3 (2 vCPUs, 8 GiB RAM) 32 users per D8s v3 (8 vCPUs, 32 Gib RAM) Utilization Utilization Note: WVD is the only way to run Windows 10 Multi-Session Note: Figures are illustrative and based on pre-configured assumptions; actual savings vary by user requirements and infrastructure configuration *The $40 PUPM for single session cost is modeled for a common configuration: Windows 10 single-session in WVD starts at ~$15 per user per month for 1 vCPU, 2 GiB RAM configuration

Cost Effective Compute and Storage*
Cost-optimized infrastructure Superior Economics Cost Effective Compute and Storage* Customer Scenario – From on-prem virtualization to WVD Pay for actual usage instead of peak usage; optimize compute by using both Pay-as-you-go and Reserved Instance On-prem Virtualization WVD (Compute) Example Economic Benefit $ per month for 25 VMs *On-prem cost varies widely depending on asset depreciation, RI cost on cloud is used as the proxy for average on-prem cost Provision and pay for peak usage Provision and pay for actual usage -30% Time Resource Usage Time Resource Usage $2,850 $2,060 $1,390 PAYG Next we’ll look at compute and storage cost benefits. As you know compute and storage usually account for 90+% of your total infrastructure cost, so it’s important to get the best economics here. Following a similar process as on the previous slide, we’ll be comparing WVD with on-prem virtualization and see where WVD’s advantages come from. For the on-prem virtualization on the left hand side, you’ll have to provision and pay for peak usage regardless of your actual usage. In other words, unless you can always operate at high capacity, you’ll be paying for more than you needed due to fluctuating usage. In contrast, in WVD, you can choose to only pay for what you use via pay-as-you-go option, which enables you to achieve great cost effectiveness. Furthermore, you can opt for reserved instance option for those VMs you expect to be highly utilized while keeping low utilization with pay-as-you-go option to achieve optimized cost. As a result, for Compute you save ~30% on VMs with the optimized mix of RI and PAYG VMs. Azure VM pricing: Azure NetApp Files pricing: Calculation assumptions: Azure Region: US East Left bar: 800 concurrent users working on 25 VMs (D8s v3) with 3-year reserved instance option (proxy for on-prem cost) Calculation: $0.16 / hr * 730 hrs * 25 VMs = ~$2,850 Right bar: 640 concurrent users working 180 hours on 20 VMs (D8s v3) with pay-as-you-go option, and 160 concurrent users working on 5 VMs with 3-year reserved instance option Calculation: $0.38 / hr * 180 hrs * 20 VMs = ~$1,390; $0.16 / hr * 730 hrs * 5 VMs = ~$670 Note 1: Modeled for compute cost only; numbers are rounded for simplicity Note 2: Same benefit applies to Azure NetApp Files and Azure Files storage, but not File Server storage $670 RI On-prem* RI+PAYG Amount of resource used Amount of resource used Amount of reserved instance paid for Amount of resource paid for Amount of pay-as-you-go *When using Azure NetApp Files or Azure Files for storage, customers pay for actual consumed storage (vs. pay for fixed-sized disks) Note: Figures are illustrative and based on pre-configured assumptions; actual savings vary by user requirements and infrastructure configuration
32
Flexible Network Provisioning
Cost-optimized infrastructure Superior Economics Flexible Network Provisioning Customer Scenario – From Physical Network on-prem to Network Provisioned in WVD Pay for actual outbound data transfer instead of peak two-way data transfer; Optimize networking cost by using both fixed fee and variable outbound traffic Physical Network On-prem Network Provisioned in WVD Example Economic Benefit $ per month for 1,500 users * Networking cost on-prem varies widely. ExpressRoute Unlimited Plan is used as the proxy for average on-prem cost; ExpressRoute Metered Plan is used for WVD cost Provision and pay for peak two-way traffic Provision and pay for actual outbound traffic -20% Time Resource Usage Time Resource Usage $2,750 $2,235 Variable outbound traffic $1,945 Similar to compute and storage, WVD customers also get better value for networking. Comparing to physical network on-prem which you would provision and pay for peak two-way traffic, in WVD you will only pay for actual outbound traffic. And again you can further optimize your cost by using fixed fee option (using an ExpressRoute data plan) to cover your base usage, and using variable outbound traffic if you need additional bandwidth. ExpressRoute pricing: Calculation assumptions: Left bar: ExpressRoute 500 Mbps Unlimited Plan (East US) for 240TB outbound traffic per month Calculation: ExpressRoute 500 Mbps Unlimited Plan for East US is $2,750 Right bar: ExpressRoute 500 Mbps Metered Plan (East US) for 240TB outbound traffic per month Calculation: ExpressRoute 500 Mbps Metered Plan for East US is $290, which include 164TB; the additional 76TB cost = 0.025/GB * 76*1024GB = $1,945 240TB is calculated from the following assumptions : # of users: 1,500 Average # of monitors per user: 1.2 monitors Average network traffic: 200KB / second / monitor User work hours/days: 9 hours a day / 22 days a month Note 1: Numbers are rounded for simplicity ExpressRoute (fixed fee) $290 On-prem* WVD Amount of network bandwidth used Amount of network bandwidth used Amount of ExpressRoute (fixed fee) paid Amount of network bandwidth paid for Amount of variable outbound traffic paid Note: Customers can connect from on-prem physical networks to Azure virtual networks via two ways: Virtual Private Network (VPN) or ExpressRoute Note: Variable outbound traffic can be implemented via Virtual Network or ExpressRoute Note: Figures are illustrative and based on pre-configured assumptions; actual savings vary by user requirements and network configuration
33
Best Value Compute Rate
Cost-optimized infrastructure Superior Economics Best Value Compute Rate Customer Scenario – From Windows Server on-prem to Windows Server in WVD WVD doesn’t require Windows Server license for session host VMs (i.e. session host VMs charged at Linux compute rate) Windows Server RDS On-prem Windows Server RDS in WVD Example Economic Benefit $ per VM for 1,000 compute hours … … *Azure VM cost at Windows Server rate is used as the proxy for average on-prem VM cost that requires a Windows Server license; on-prem cost is likely underestimated RDS CALs with SA RDS CALs with SA -65% $570 $200 Another key benefit of WVD is you don’t need to purchase Windows Server license for your session host VMs. Let’s take a look at the scenario - customers move from Windows Server RDS deployment on-prem to Windows Server in WVD. For on-prem, customers will have to have Windows Server license for each of RDSH VMs, but if they move to WVD, WVD eliminates the need to bring your own Windows Server license and every session host VM will be charged the base Linux compute rate. This is a big cost saving – 65% saving as seen in our modelled example. Refer to for “Apply Windows license to session host virtual machines”. Note 1: Non-session host VMs still require Windows Server license (only if Azure Hybrid Benefits are not available) Note 2: With Azure NetApp Files or Azure Files, customers also save the cost of Windows Server license and its hosting VM that would otherwise be required by File Server Calculation assumptions: Left bar: D8s v3 at Windows Server rate (US West) for 1000 compute hours Calculation: $0.57/hr * 1000 hrs = $570 Right bar: D8s v3 at Linux rate (US West) for 1000 compute hours Calculation: $0.20/hr * 1000 hrs = $200 Note 3: Numbers are rounded for simplicity WINDOWS SERVER LICENSE WINDOWS SERVER LICENSE File Server VMs File Server VMs Windows Server VM on-premWindows Server VM on-prem Windows Server VM in WVD (charged at Linux rate)Windows Server VM in WVD (charged at Linux rate)Windows Server VM in WVD (charged at Linux rate) License Server VMs License Server VMs RDSH VMs RDSH VMs Note: Non-session host VMs still require Windows Server license (only if Azure Hybrid Benefits are not available) Note: With Azure NetApp Files or Azure Files, customers also save the cost of Windows Server license and its hosting VM that would otherwise be required by File Server Note: Figures are illustrative and based on pre-configured assumptions; actual savings vary by user requirements and infrastructure configuration
34
Opex Spend Aligned to Business Usage
Cost-optimized infrastructure Superior Economics Opex Spend Aligned to Business Usage Customer Scenario – On-prem to Cloud From up-front Capex commitment to flexible Opex investment Invest and build for peak demand On-prem Pay on monthly basis for actual capacity Cloud Economic Benefit Avoid large upfront financial commitments and deployment projects Match capacity to operational needs Align IT HW, SW, and services with changing business requirements Enable accurate departmental cross-charge and COGS alignment High CAPEX cost Efficient OPEX cost Cloud economics is another benefit that comes with WVD. For on-prem virtualization, customers have to invest and build infrastructure for peak demand and hence incur high upfront Capex cost, whereas with cloud you can pay on monthly basis for actual capacity consumed. Cloud is usually more efficient and cost effective than on-prem because 1) you can avoid large upfront financial commitments and deployment projects, 2) you can match capacity to operational needs, 3) you can align IT HW, SW, and services with changing business requirements, 4) you can get accurate departmental cross-charge and COGS alignment Capacity Capacity Usage Time Time Note: Figures are illustrative and based on pre-configured assumptions; actual savings vary by user requirements and infrastructure configuration

Management Service Included With the Licenses you Already Own
Cost-advantaged licensing Superior Economics Management Service Included With the Licenses you Already Own Customer Scenario – From on-prem virtualization to WVD WVD management service included with the licenses* most Microsoft customers own Eliminate the infrastructure cost associated with on-prem management services On-prem Virtualization WVD Economic Benefit No management infrastructure needed No additional licenses required Reduced labor cost Management Services deployed by IT Management Services provided by WVD Management service deployment Web access Licensing (server) Gateway Management Management Service So far we have looked at what economic benefits customers can get in terms of infrastructure cost. Next we’ll see what licensing advantages WVD provides. Management service is an important part of desktop virtualization and a big cost component. In on-prem environment, customers usually have to deploy the service from scratch by internal IT or external partners, including web access, gateway, licensing server, load balancing, etc., which can be costly and time-consuming. But with WVD, management service (including management infrastructure) is already provided so you don’t have to worry about complicated deployment any more. What’s better, you are probably already entitled to WVD use rights with the licenses you already own (refer to [WVD Client Licensing Requirements] slide in appendix if needed) such as Win10 E3/E5 or M365 E3/E5, etc. This means there’s probably no incremental licensing cost for you to use WVD. This comes in addition to the benefits that result from elimination of management infrastructure. This further reduces your labor cost as well. Note 1: Customers who require Citrix or VMware management services to meet their needs will incur additional cost Broker Load balancing Diagnostics Provided by WVD *See Appendix for WVD Client licensing requirements, including specific SKUs Note: Figures are illustrative and based on pre-configured assumptions; actual savings vary by user requirements and current licensing position Note: Customers who require Citrix or VMware management services to meet their needs will incur additional cost

Savings on RDS CAL with Multi-session Deployment
Cost-advantaged licensing Superior Economics Savings on RDS CAL with Multi-session Deployment Customer Scenario – From Windows Server RDS on-prem to Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-session in WVD Save on RDS CAL when migrating from Windows Server RDS on-prem to Windows 10 Enterprise multi-Session* in WVD Windows Server RDS On-prem Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-session in WVD $17 Saving** Per user per month Economic Benefit … … M365 M365 M365 M365 M365 M365 RDS CAL RDS CAL RDS CAL RDS CAL RDS CAL RDS CAL (this benefit applies to Windows Server RDS to Win 10 multi-session migration scenarios only) Another key benefit of WVD applies when you move from Windows Server RDS on-prem deployment to Win 10 multi-session in WVD. For Windows Server RDS, each user needs an RDS CAL (Client Access License) to connect to RDSH VMs However, if you move to Win10 multi-session in WVD, you can get rid of RDS CAL and leverage the license that you probably already own to qualify for WVD use rights (refer to [WVD Client Licensing Requirements] slide in appendix if needed), such as Win10 E3/E5 or M365 E3/E5, etc. This means the cost of RDS CAL (the standard price of which is ~$17 per user per month) will be a saving for you. WVD session host VMs **This saving applies when customers migrate from Windows Server deployment to Windows 10 multi-session in WVD; Windows Server in WVD still requires RDS CAL RDSH VMs *Customers can leverage the license (e.g. M365 E3/E5, Win 10 E3/E5) they already own. See Appendix for a complete list of WVD licensing requirements Note: Figures are illustrative and based on pre-configured assumptions; actual savings vary by user requirements and current licensing position Note: Customers need to fully refactor desktops and apps when migrating from Windows Server deployment to Windows 10 multi-session in WVD

3-year Win7 ESU Included Cost-advantaged licensing
Superior Economics 3-year Win7 ESU Included Customer Scenario – From Windows 7 on-prem to Windows 7 in WVD With WVD, 3-year Extended Security Update is included for Windows 7 VMs running on Azure* On-prem WVD $ Savings Per device per year Economic Benefit Pricing for extended security updates Year ESU Cost (/ device) Enterprise Pro 2020 $25 $50 2021 $100 2022 $200 Year ESU Cost (/ device) Enterprise Pro 2020 $25 $50 2021 $100 2022 $200 (Win7-specific benefit) If you are using Win7 today, the support for Win7 will end in January 2020, and it’ll incur additional cost if you wish to continue to get extended security updates after that. Depending on calendar year and your Win7 license tier, the cost per device per year can be up to $200. However, with WVD, 3-year Win7 ESU is already included. In other words, it can save you up to $200 per device per year if you move to WVD. Note: this benefit applies to Win 7 VMs running in WVD on Azure, not applicable to Win 7 running on local devices *Benefit not applicable to Windows 7 running on local devices Note: Figures are illustrative and based on pre-configured assumptions; actual savings vary by user requirements and current licensing position

Reduced Labor Requirements
Superior Economics Reduced Labor Requirements Lower labor cost because compute and storage move to cloud Eliminate high overhead associated with managing on-premise infrastructure Reduced labor cost due to increased automation in the cloud Per Desktop Per Year IT Labor Cost Source: industry analysis -60% Lower labor cost when you use PaaS services WVD delivered as an evergreen PaaS service, reducing your labor cost for managing and upgrading management plane Simplified file storage management, leveraging fully managed NetApp Files service The last cost component is labor. You can expect two types of savings with WVD. First, as talked in previous benefits, by migrating from on-prem to cloud, you can eliminate the high overhead associated with managing on-premise infrastructure. You also get access to a broad set of automation tools readily available on Azure marketplace. In addition, WVD also reduces your labor cost since it’s delivered as an evergreen PaaS service so there is no need to upgrade on-prem RDS infrastructure from 2012 to 2016 or 2019 now nor in the future as Microsoft keeps that up to date with feature/security/capability updates etc, saving you time and money in upgrade projects every 3 or 5 years (or similar). That also means you can take advantage of new features we deliver as soon as they become available and not dependant on the traditional upgrade projects. The same argument applies to Azure NetApp Files (a PaaS storage solution) that simplifies your infrastructure management. As a result, according to our industry analysis, you can save ~60% in labor costs by moving your virtual desktop solution from on-prem to Azure. On prem Cloud Note: Figures are illustrative; actual savings vary by user requirements and current virtual desktop operating model

Example Scenario: WVD Economic Benefits
Superior Economics Example Scenario: WVD Economic Benefits Example Migration Scenario User Group 1: 800 medium workload users (session running 170 hrs/month): From Windows Server on-prem to Windows 10 multi-session in WVD User Group 2: 200 medium workload users (session running 400 hrs/month): From Windows 10 single-session on-prem to Windows 10 multi-session in WVD Virtual Desktop Cost ($ per month) Infrastructure Cost Savings License Cost Savings ~65%* Savings $38.6 pupm 38,600 650 2,400 $13.3 pupm Finally, let’s bring it all together and have a holistic view of WVD economic benefits by looking at an example customer scenario. This customer has two user groups with differing user requirements: User group 1 has 800 medium workload users (which you can think of as someone who primarily use Microsoft Office apps) moving from Windows Server RDS on-prem to Win 10 multi-session in WVD User group 2 has 200 medium workload users moving from Windows 10 single-session on-prem to Windows 10 multi-session in WVD. Let’s take a look at what types of cost savings we can achieve. Starting from the left bar, the total on-prem cost for these two user groups are $38,600, with $17,400 for infra and $21,200 for licensing. The first saving is multi-session, this is assuming user group 2 (which is currently single-session) can move to multi-session and hence save $8,600 by reducing the number of VMs required. The second saving is Linux Rate. This saving applies to user group 1 as customer has to purchase Windows Server license for this group which is no longer required after moving to WVD. The next benefit is pay for actual usage, which is a cost advantage of cloud – it makes more sense for user group 1 to choose pay-as-you-go option given their shorter session running times. So far we looked at three types of savings (in light blue) related to infrastructure, which contribute to ~70% of savings in infrastructure when moving to WVD from on-prem. Next let’s look at the two types licensing cost savings (in dark blue). The first licensing cost saving is Management Service. The management service is provided by WVD so the customer can shift to WVD native management plane (vs. building their own infra to host management service) and save that cost. In addition, for user group 1, the customer can get rid of RDS CAL by moving to Win10 MS in WVD which would otherwise be required by Windows Server RDS. These two types of WVD cost benefits can save the customer ~60% of the licensing cost compare to on-prem. After applying those benefits, the WVD cost ends up at $13,300, only ~35% of your original on-prem cost! Note 1: Given on-prem costs are highly variable, Azure reserved instance cost is used as the proxy for average on-prem cost; on-prem cost is likely underestimated Note 2: Results generated by WVD Solution Configurator, an excel-based tool for sizing WVD opportunities; figures are rounded for simplicity License assumptions Customer already owns license that entitles to WVD use rights so they don’t incur incremental licensing cost when moving from Windows Server RDS to Win10 MS in WVD (refer to [WVD Client Licensing Requirements] slide in appendix if needed) Infra assumptions Compute: East US D8s v3 (for multi-session) 4 users/vCPU (for multi-session) D2s v3 (for single-session) 1 user / VM (for single-session) Storage: Azure NetApp Files 20GB storage per user Networking: Virtual Network (East US Same Region) Network egress: 100 kbps per user Note 3: See Appendix [Default Values (Microsoft Guidance) for WVD Cost Estimation] for a more comprehensive list of assumptions Note 4: Numbers are rounded for simplicity On-prem Cost Multi-session2 Linux Rate1 Pay for Actual Usage1 Mgnt Svc Included1, 2 RDS CAL Elimination2 WVD Cost Drivers for Saving Windows 10 multi-session reduces number of VMs required (vs. single-session) Session host VMs charged at Linux compute rate (vs. Windows Server compute rate) Most actual usage charged at PAYG rate (vs. fixed on-prem investment) Free** WVD management service incl. associated infra (vs. mgnt services and infra on-prem) RDS CAL not required by W10 MS in WVD** Note: Chart shows the overall on-prem and WVD cost and associated cost savings for User Group 1 and 2 combined Note: Given on-prem costs are highly variable, Azure reserved instance cost is used as the proxy for average on-prem cost; on-prem cost is likely underestimated Note: Results generated by WVD Solution Configurator, an excel-based tool for sizing WVD opportunities; figures are rounded for simplicity 1 – Savings for User Group 1; 2 – Savings for User Group 2 *~70% Savings on infrastructure cost and ~60% on license cost, respectively; labor cost excluded **Many customers already own licenses that qualify them for WVD (e.g. Win10 E3/E5, M365 E3/E5, VDA) and incur no additional cost for WVD

“…” Office 365 Other apps Windows Virtual Desktop The best virtual desktop and app experience, delivered on Azure Windows 10/7 Windows Server (RDS) KEY POINTS: Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is the best virtual desktop and app experience, delivered on Azure Best Product: Multi-session Windows 10 delivers Client experience, on shared VMs Optimized for Office 365 ProPlus – Microsoft Office applications are some of the most highly used and most commonly virtualized applications for any business. Poor client performance is one of top issues preventing many enterprises from fully adopting non-persistent virtual desktop models. For administrators, the various workarounds to this problem can result in dramatically increased server utilization, increased cost, and ongoing poor and inconsistent performance for end users. With FSLogix, Office 365 ProPlus enables faster load times for user profiles in Outlook and OneDrive. FSLogix Apps Profile Containers move the entire User Profile, including the registry, to an in-guest container, which appears to be fully integrated with the local system. This approach completely eliminates the need for Folder Redirection or other network-share based workarounds leading to long server queues during peak periods. User performance is returned to ‘normal’, or indistinguishable from running Outlook in a well-optimized local computing environment. Microsoft takes care of the control plane, keeps the service up and running Includes all FSLogix technologies including, Profile Container, App Masking and Java Redirection Best Value Most Enterprise customers already have the licensing they need Avoid W7 extended support costs – Free Extended Security Updates Improve efficiency through Windows 10 Multi-Session, intelligent load balancing, and Server (RDS) deployments Cloud Scale get all benefits of Microsoft’s cloud scale including high availability and scalability, cost effectiveness, security, and privacy WVD is designed for customers to bring desktops to cloud, and this service is only going to get better, as MSFT wants this workload on Azure

WVD Architectural Overview
3 BIG PIECES Clients Customer/Partner-managed FIREWALL Windows Virtual Desktop Microsoft-managed FIREWALL Azure VMs & Services Customer/Partner-managed Diagnostics Broker Gateway Web Access Azure SQL DB VMs Desktops Apps Active Directory KEY TALKING POINTS: The job of a control plane is to orchestrate the creation and management of desktop and app session hosts, authenticate users and to determine where to “land” a user’s desktop connection (meaning what desktop VM to patch the user through to). In the RDS world, this was handled through a number of “RDS roles” namely: RD License Server, RD Web, RD Webclient, RD Connection Broker and RD Gateway. With WVD, it is no longer necessary to install and manage any of these roles as they are now part of the WVD Management Service. Microsoft do the work and deliver you a PaaS product that can be controlled via RestAPI, PowerShell and soon the Azure admin portal. There are cost savings associated with elimination of separate VMs for web access, diagnostics, gateway, and broker, WVD’s evergreen control plane allows customers (and partners) to focus on value-added services like advanced desktop management, monitoring, health checks/life-cycle management, image management, etc. FSLogix User Profile File Server

As you’ll notice, there are different ways to think about how you can use Azure in regards to your RDS environment: 1 = Extend 2 = Replicate for DR 3 = IaaS 4 = PaaS Key enhancements for deploying RDS 2019 on Azure include using Azure Key Vault for simplified certificate management and using Azure SQL DB for the RD licensing high-availability feature. Also for partners… We announced the availability of Remote Desktop Services (RDS) subscriptions through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program. The availability of RDS in CSP addresses customer needs for additional cost-effective solutions that support desktop and app virtualization. With RDS Subscriptions, partners can directly sell RDS subscriptions through our CSP program, eliminating the extra step of customers and partners acquiring different licenses through various programs. With this model, customers can enjoy a faster licensing cycle due to CSP integration with other Microsoft licenses including Windows Server, SQL Server, and Office to make it easy for partners to simplify the buying process.
