Workspot Webinar 3-11-25 How to Migrate VDI to Multi-Cloud DaaS (Improved Cost, UX & Observability)

Ready to move off legacy, on-prem VDI without blowing up cost or user experience? In this fast, practical session from Workspot HQ, Brad Peterson and Amitabh Sinha walk through a step-by-step approach to migrating VDI to cloud DaaS across Azure / AWS / GCP—with FinOps controls, AI-driven forecasting, and end-to-end observability (DEX) built in.

What you’ll learn:
• Why cloud DaaS ≠ “on-prem VDI in the cloud” (different architecture, ops, and economics)
• Avoiding lock-in: run in any cloud, any region; mix persistent/non-persistent Windows & Linux
• Cost model: “just-in-time, just-enough” capacity, suspend/hibernate, real-time cost alarms
• User experience: place desktops near users/apps; sub-50ms latency targets; GPU options
• Troubleshooting: Control, Watch & Trends for live alarms, traces, sentiment & heatmaps
• Migration timelines, skills, and rollout patterns (500–1,000+ users/month)

00:00 Welcome from Workspot HQ (Brad & Amitabh)
01:02 Agenda & how to participate (live Q&A + polls)
01:13 Workspot primer: Enterprise Browser + DaaS/VDI + DEX
02:18 Poll #1: Your app/desktop delivery mix
02:56 Poll #2: Where you host today (DC/colo/Azure/AWS/GCP)
03:13 Legacy stack pain (Citrix/Broadcom/vSphere costs & complexity)
04:14 Point solutions vs. unified Workspot platform
05:02 One client, all access: web apps, Windows apps, Win/Linux desktops
05:37 Migration focus: on-prem → cloud (any cloud, any region)
05:55 Poll #3: Biggest issues (cost, UX, complexity, security, DEX)
06:48 Six migration questions to answer (arch, lock-in, cost, UX, troubleshooting, skills/time)
07:58 Cloud ≠ on-prem: forget VDI instincts; plan per-user, not peak hardware
09:49 Multi-cloud freedom: Azure, AWS, GCP + Workspot Control/Watch/Trends
11:53 Cost reality: on-prem 12–18% utilization vs. 90%+ with JIT/JEN
12:58 Usage patterns (60–120 hrs/mo); hourly pricing examples
14:49 Why flat-rate can cost more; per-user chargeback by business unit
16:40 How Workspot optimizes cost: policies, alarms, AI forecasts
17:53 Live alarms & excess capacity views; 10-sec connection targets
18:33 Forecasting next week; from insight → automated policy (roadmap)
20:25 Placing desktops: near users vs. near apps (choose per use case)
21:49 Full observability: metrics, logs, traces, connection steps
23:09 Pattern mining, per-user drill-downs & time-based tracing
24:21 Community-labeled RCA → suggested fixes (AI assist)
25:41 Are users happy? Sentiment + network quality (loss/latency)
27:10 Timeline: discovery → pilot → rollout cadence & examples
29:13 Final poll & follow-ups (1:1, pilots, materials)
29:50 What’s next & upcoming webinars (incl. EL)
30:20 Thank you & close
