FSLogix profile design for AVD
User profiles are the difference between a desktop that opens in seconds and one that does not. We design profile storage for speed, capacity and recovery.
Scope of the work
- Place profile storage close to the session hosts
- Size capacity and performance for sign-in peaks
- Configure profile containers, exclusions and size limits
- Make the storage highly available and back it up
- Measure sign-in time before and after
- Highly available profile storage
- A documented FSLogix configuration
- Measured sign-in times
Billed at $150.00 per hour. Ask Keith for an estimate.
What we check first.
The morning peak
Everyone signs in at once. Profile storage is sized for that hour, not for the daily average.
Antivirus exclusions
Scanning profile containers on attach slows every sign-in. The exclusions are documented and we apply them.
One profile, one session
Users with sessions in several pools need a deliberate design or they get lock conflicts.
Four steps, written down.
A call with Keith
You describe the goal, the estate and the deadline. Keith turns it into a written scope with an hour estimate at the hourly rate.
A written design by Gus
Gus reviews the environment and gives you a written design with each decision and its reason.
Hands-on implementation
Gus implements in your tenant and your racks, remotely or on site, with every change logged as it is made.
Documents and a named contact
You receive the as-built record and the runbooks. Keith stays on as your account and project manager.
Asked before every engagement.
Where should profiles live?
On a file share reachable from the session hosts with low latency, usually a highly available file server on the same cluster.
Can profiles be restored?
Yes, when the share is backed up. We include a single-profile restore test in the handover.
What does the consulting cost?
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith sends a written hour estimate after the scoping call, and work starts when you approve it.
Often scoped together.
One rate. Two people.
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith runs sales, project management and your account. Gus does the architecture, the design and the implementation.
