    Urgency in VDI migrations

    Enterprises are facing increasing pressure to migrate their Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) platforms to modern environments like Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 due to increased cost of renewals for existing and legacy licenses. This migration process is complicated by the need for thorough application testing and potential packaging format changes. Without proper planning, organizations risk: 

    • Extended timelines 
    • Increased costs 
    • Disrupted operations 

    The Rimo3 Workspace360 platform enables leading enterprises to adopt a smooth and rapid migration to AVD, significantly reducing the time required for application readiness and ensuring compatibility in the new environment. For Windows 365, Workspace360 can also validate applications against the latest version of Windows and automate the migration of your applications to Microsoft Intune.  

    Rimo3 streamlines the VDI migration process by automating application validation and packaging. This reduces the time and effort required to migrate applications to AVD and Windows 365, ensuring enterprises will:  

    • Meet urgent migration deadlines without compromising on quality 
    • Leverage their investments in  Microsoft cloud computing immediately

    Importance of planning

    Migrations are complex projects that require meticulous planning, particularly around application compatibility and performance. A lack of detailed planning can lead to unexpected challenges, delays and increased costs, particularly when dealing with a diverse application portfolio. 

    By leveraging Rimo3 automation and discovery tools, businesses can accurately assess their application landscape and develop a migration plan that minimizes disruption and maximizes efficiency.  

    By automating these processes, Rimo3 helps enterprises: 

    • Develop a clear and actionable migration plan 
    • Reduce risks 
    • Ensure a smoother transition to AVD 

    Rimo3 helps you understand which applications will run in your new environment and, where applicable, which modern formats are best suited for your applications. For Windows 365 you can understand which applications will run against the latest version of Windows and plan for those that require remediation.   

    Automation as a critical success factor

    Manual processes in VDI migrations are time-consuming and prone to error, which can lead to missed deadlines and increased costs. Enterprises facing large renewal bills for outdated VDI platforms are particularly vulnerable if they are hindered by: 

    • Manual processes 
    • Limited workforce 
    • Inability to migrate quickly and efficiently causing workforce downtime 

    Automation capabilities, powered by Rimo3, enabled a major organization to complete their AVD migration efficiently, avoiding costly renewal fees and ensuring all applications were ready for the new environment. 

    The Rimo3 platform automates critical tasks such as: 

    • Application validation 
    • Compatibility assessment 
    • Packaging 

    This allows enterprises to complete migrations in days instead of months, or months instead of years. This saves time and helps avoid the excessive costs associated with renewing legacy VDI platforms.
