Secure AVD for a Distributed SaaS Team
A distributed software team needed secure, consistent access to separate ETL and mapping environments without creating a difficult desktop estate to support.
What the business needed to solve.
The client needed a secure remote-working platform for teams using two distinct specialist workloads. Users were distributed across Europe and India, so access, profile consistency and operational ownership all needed to be designed before rollout.
Combining every user and application in one desktop pool would have made performance, permissions and troubleshooting harder to control. The environment also needed a practical approach to scaling, monitoring and post-project support.
How Cloud Infosolution approached it.
Workload-aligned host pools
Designed separate pooled host pools for ETL and mapping workloads so capacity, applications and access could be managed independently.
Secure identity and data controls
Applied a Microsoft Entra security baseline with Conditional Access, MFA and data-protection requirements aligned to remote access.
Profiles, scaling and monitoring
Configured FSLogix profiles, autoscaling, Azure monitoring and alerts to support a consistent user experience and clearer operations.
Phased validation and handover
Delivered the platform through architecture, build and validation milestones, followed by documentation and an agreed support transition.
A more secure and supportable environment.
Clear workload separation
ETL and mapping users received environments aligned to their applications and access requirements.
Controlled remote access
Identity, session and data controls were considered as part of the desktop design rather than added after deployment.
More manageable operations
Autoscaling, monitoring and documented ownership created a practical foundation for ongoing support.
This engagement shows how AVD works best when identity, applications, profiles, scaling and support ownership are designed together.
