Session 1:
Modernizing VDI and Simplifying IT on Google Cloud
With recent events contributing to worldwide business disruption, the shift to a cloud-native IT operating model is accelerating. VDI workloads hosted on-premises are known to be a single-point of failure and unable to scale on-demand, but this all changes when VDI is hosted on Google Cloud.
Join Google Cloud, itopia, HYCU, and Liquidware for a 4-part webinar series on Modernizing VDI and Simplifying IT. You'll learn how your organization can:
- Rapidly migrate VDI to Google Cloud and securely deploy remote Windows desktops & apps to any device, anywhere -- in days, not months.
- Empower junior-level IT admins to easily manage your entire workforce from a single, unified console in the browser.
- Leverage cloud automation to scale dynamically to meet changing demand while dramatically reducing costs.
- Monitor and manage user experience & performance
- Simplify management with follow-me user profile, data and applications
- Improve security of end-user devices with sensitive data protected in the cloud.
- Ensure global business continuity with virtual redundancy paired with continuous cloud-native backup.

Session 2:
Enabling a Quick and Seamless VDI Migration to GCP
Migrating VDI to the cloud can be achieved in a rapid manner with the right game plan and tools in place. Organizations are increasingly leveraging cloud automation to seamlessly bring end-user configurations to the cloud and right-size their new Desktop as a Service environment.
Join itopia, HYCU, and Liquidware for Part Two on Modernizing VDI and Simplifying IT. In this webinar, we'll focus on making migration to GCP easy. You'll learn how your organization can:
- Assess, don't guess. Design your target virtual desktop environment correctly by programmatically gathering the applications and security policies your end-users are using.
- Migrate users quickly to the cloud without downtime with follow-me profiles.
- Validate success by quantitatively comparing before/after user experience of on-premises vs. cloud computing.

Session 3:
Unified Management of Multi-regional VDI on GCP
One of the key advantages of hosting VDI on Google Cloud is the ability to manage a globally-distributed workforce all from a single source of truth. No longer are organizations forced to learn and use multiple products and services to manage their virtual desktop deployments - centralized management is here and it's conducted from one unified console in the browser.
Join itopia, HYCU, and Liquidware for Part Three on Modernizing VDI and Simplifying IT. In this webinar, we'll focus on the simplicity of managing virtual desktop environments on GCP. You'll learn how your organization can:
- Provision, group, and manage users across multiple geographic regions from a single, unified control panel
- Monitor user experience, application usage, cloud resource usage, and trends over time - allowing you to confidently make strategic decisions to optimize costs
- Deliver new applications and upgrades to your workers on the fly with a single click
- Manage user data and user profiles from a single source of truth

Session 4:
Best Practices: VDI Data Protection, Redundancy, and Backup on GCP
While provisioning virtual desktops on GCP means hosting them on secure google datacenters, they still need to be protected from user errors, data corruption and malicious attacks. GCP has built-in snapshots which provide a solid foundation for backup & recovery. However, you still need a cloud-native data-protection solution for GCP, that can perfectly complement the GCP snapshots to recover from any and all forms of data-loss scenarios.
Join itopia, HYCU, and Liquidware for Part Four on Modernizing VDI and Simplifying IT. In this webinar, we'll focus on the best practices of data protection for your virtual desktop deployments on GCP. You'll learn how your organization can:
- Best protect your VDI workloads on GCP
- Recover from the most common data-loss situations
- Build redundant multi-regional cloud environments for DR
