Architecture Intent

This project defined the reference architecture for a modern enterprise workspace platform using Azure Virtual Desktop and Citrix-aligned service patterns. The design balanced security, availability, and operational standardization while supporting application growth and regional deployment flexibility.

Zero TrustIdentity-first access and administrative isolation
ScaleRepeatable workspace expansion across business units
ControlCentralized image, policy, and app lifecycle
ReliabilityResilient service layers and monitoring

Reference Components

  • Identity integration with conditional access, hybrid services, and delegated administration.
  • Workspace segmentation across platform, shared services, and application delivery layers.
  • Automation for image release, host lifecycle, and policy-driven infrastructure deployment.
