Migration service

Switch without Azure or Citrix hassle

Many organizations know that Azure AVD or Citrix has become too expensive or too complex, but postpone switching because migration feels difficult. Fastnode makes that smaller with a clear process, standard choices and guidance in understandable steps.

1

Inventory

We map users, applications, storage, Office 365 connections and management needs so that the environment fits well with your current workplace.

2

Setup

Fastnode sets up the Virtual Desktop with the agreed capacity, security, accounts and links so that you do not have to go through dozens of technical choices yourself.

3

Pilot and control

You first test with a small group, so that performance, login, files and daily workflows can be checked before going live.

4

Go live

After approval, we put the environment live and guide the transition, so that your team works faster without falling back on old complexity.
