Summary

Evolve IP requires the following best practices be implemented with DaaS, ensuring best user experience and supportability. As the client administrator, you are responsible to understand and implement all or some of the policies below, based on your specific requirements.

Evolve IP service delivery requires that the following be setup, configured and tested prior to entering a UAT phase of the project. Long term Evolve IP support and SLA's will be contingent upon the client environment being in compliance with the following recommendations and best practices.

Recommended Best Practices and Policies:

Disabling Windows Feature Updates

A feature update is when Windows 10 version 1903 is upgraded to the next feature release of Windows 10 1909. This update process can impact performance and functionality of your desktops for many reasons such as 3rd party vendors who needs to test the update from Microsoft before they will deploy their own update. Disabling the Windows feature update reduces the impact of this process and maintains the stability of your DaaS platform.

Applications and Load Over Time - Memory Requirements Will Grow

Memory resources are a driving factor in the performance of your DaaS seat. It is important to recognize that over time as you add new applications that were not part of the initial design requirements, less free memory (RAM) can constrain performance. Specifically, Real Time Audio Video collaboration tools will see a performance decrease as memory is consumed by additional applications. See the Real Time Audio Video Collaboration Tools section below for more details.

It is recommended that before you add new applications or software to check with Evolve IP to see if any changes to the DaaS seat resources are necessary.

Real Time Audio Video Collaboration Tools

Real Time Audio Video (RTAV) collaboration has become a standard tool for every business. It is important to recognize that the manufacturer's recommendation to use RTAV tools like Microsoft Teams and Zoom is to run them locally from the users endpoint. Evolve IP deploys our vendor's RTAV optimizations in order to provide the best RTAV possible outside of running from the local endpoint. RTAV will have performance and feature limitations running in DaaS when compared to to running them from your local machine. We have detailed our experience with RTAV in virtualized environments here for your reference to help you select the best DaaS seat option.

Group Policy Objects

GPOs are settings within Microsoft's OS that define what a system will look like and how it will behave for a defined group of users. For example, GPOs enable control over a user's ability to access restricted files, run 3-D graphics, deploy new software, run background processes and limit a user's access to applications like the payroll software.

Evolve IP has provided the following GPOs to provide the best user experience:
