Hydra is a purpose-built control plane for managing Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 Cloud PC environments at scale. It bridges the gap between native Azure constructs and enterprise virtual desktop requirements by providing a centralized orchestration layer. Hydra simplifies complex deployment scenarios, streamlines tenant onboarding, and automates daily operational tasks, freeing IT teams to focus on delivering consistent, high-performance user experiences.
The Hydra platform is designed with modularity, scalability, and extensibility in mind. Whether managing a single business unit or hundreds of tenants across regions, Hydra delivers a consistent framework for provisioning, monitoring, and optimizing AVD and Cloud PC workloads.
Key capabilities include:
-
Blueprint-Based Provisioning: Standard Host Pool configuration with image versioning, role assignments, and storage/network configuration.
-
Multi-Tenant Segmentation: Native logical tenant boundaries with scoped permissions.
-
Scheduled Automation: Power state scheduling, autoscaling rules, Windows and application updates, and scheduled imaging and deployments.
-
Native Integrations: Support for FSLogix, Hybrid Active Directory, Microsoft Entra, and Intune.
-
Built-In Observability: Real-time session insights, user experience metrics, and detailed operational logging.
Hydra can be deployed in both brownfield and greenfield AVD and Windows 365 environments without any additional configuration or import process. It is compatible with both cloud-native identity and hybrid-joined models.
