In recent years, hybrid and remote work has gone from being a perk to becoming the norm, transforming how we work. As a result, delivering a seamless Digital Employee Experience (DEX) is now mission-critical. Employees need their digital tools to function flawlessly—whether working from a café, a home office, or halfway around the world. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that VDX now supports Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), a new capability from Exoprise and 1E, launched on February 10th!

This next-gen solution builds on the success of VDX for Citrix on-premises. It brings the same real-time insights, proactive monitoring, and intelligent performance optimization to Azure Virtual Desktop, one of the most widely used cloud-based virtual desktop solutions on the market.

What makes VDX + AVD a game-changer?

With powerful tools for monitoring, optimizing, and enhancing performance, VDX now supports AVD. This helps IT teams tackle the unique challenges of managing cloud-based virtual desktops in today’s complex hybrid work environments.

Real-time performance insights

Ever wish you had a crystal ball for your virtual desktop infrastructure? With VDX, you get a full, real-time view of how your AVD environment is performing, from login speeds to application responsiveness. Spot and resolve issues before they disrupt workflows!

Proactive monitoring

Prevention is better than cure. VDX continuously monitors your infrastructure, leveraging synthetic testing and real-user monitoring (RUM) to flag potential bottlenecks or failures before they escalate. Think of it as having a virtual watchdog for your entire AVD setup.

Intelligent optimizations

No one likes waiting for sluggish logins or delayed application launches. VDX enhances connection quality, reduces latency, and improves resources for faster, smoother, and more reliable performance.

Designed for the modern workforce

Employees are no longer tethered to office desks. VDX empowers organizations to manage virtual desktop performance seamlessly across both on-premises and cloud-based environments. Whether employees are logging in from home, at a client site, or the local coffee shop, they’ll enjoy a consistent, high-performing digital experience.

The technology behind the magic

Exoprise’s powerful Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) tools, including Synthetic Monitoring and Real User Monitoring, provide a 360-degree view of network performance, application responsiveness, and end-user satisfaction.

  • Crowdsourced telemetry benchmarks performance against anonymized data, giving your IT team insights into how your setup compares to industry standards.
  • Network path monitoring pinpoints slowdowns—whether it’s the local ISP, VPN gateway, or Azure’s internal layers—to resolve issues faster.
  • Synthetic and real-user monitoring ensures you’re always one step ahead of potential disruptions.
