New Virtual Lab Desktop Specs
New Lab Virtual desktops will be built and become available in June. The existing virtual desktops will stay running until that time.
The only changes that will be made is upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and patching software applications, otherwise we will keep the same setup as Spring 2023.
Spring 2023 Setup:
-
NC4as T4 v3 (4 vcpus, 28 GiB memory and 1 GPU)
- Premium SSD Hard Drives
- Generation 2 virtual desktops.
- Virtual Desktops are not shared so each user will have the best experience.
- Use of Scaling Plan which gives us the ability to provide more desktops when we need them and power off unused desktops when we don't.
- A list of software that is available in the virtual lab has been updated to reflect titles that will be installed for the fall.
