How can I deploy software in Azure for my business?
Hello, I would like to deploy 10 software for a part of my company. The 10 software should be accessible from 40 laptops at the same time.
I want to do it with a VM, because then I do not always have to install the software everywhere, but only once.
Is this a good idea? What performance would I need for e.g. a KUKA robot simulation software.
Can I also forward a dongle?
What kind of performance do I need for 40 connections to a software?

AVD or even RemoteApp would do:

Hi benediktwnr,
I would recommend:
- using multiple, smaller sized, Azure VMs (session hosts) above 1 big sized
- publishing RemoteApps instead of full desktops. RemoteApps are less resource incentive
- using Azure VM Dadsv5-series (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/dasv5-dadsv5-series#dadsv5-series)- Hello, this sounds like an ideal solution to deploy AVD and then have a shared environment (you may need 1 or 1+ VM's for this size of solution). I would need to see the specs for the KUKA software (usually the manufacturer would have specs as a guidance) to help. Alternatively a size can be estimated and you can size up and down.
Re: your dongle you could forward it via redirection (I would need to understand the requirement a bit more).
And re: sizing you can start with some estimated rules that were previously used for RDS e.g. 2 GB of RAM per core, 15 users per core to come up with an estimated sizing and start there but all depends on the software you will run on the session hosts.
Please feel free to reply/get in touch if I can help further this.
