Short Notes about some of the Best Practices
Understanding end-user requirements
Firstly, you should appreciate what end clients need before deploying a VDI solution. Each business has unique wants which should be considered before deploying a VDI. For a case in point, a graphic designer must use heavy editing applications with high-performance computing machines. Configurational requirements are required for such processes. Thus, you can release a VDI solution to focus on their needs.
Manage your Network Load
Each one of these systems is founded on it is computational helpful Storage, memory, and gratification in traditional desktop situations. VDI is based on some centralized database network for implementing Virtual Machines (VMs) or electronic desktops. It depends upon corporate protocols like Regulatory Data Safeguard (RDP), PC over IP (PCoIP), etc., for monitoring and managing the info flow between the surface finish- user and the info center. Your VDI deployment must have well-regulated network load management to handle every I/O task successfully. Any distance can directly impact your end-user experience and undermine your VDI success.

These are the checklist for the High Availability of the VDI. They are,
- Define Availability Requirements
- Plan your High Availability Architecture
- Perform End-to-End Testing
- Deploy Applications Consistently
- Monitor Application Health
