MigrationMigration

Yandex Cloud does not have any service to offer that would exactly replace Cloud Desktop. As an alternative, you can consider BareMetal Extend: Virtualization, which is a virtualization platform deployed on dedicated servers. It allows you to create and configure dedicated VDI clusters.

Please note that Extend: Virtualization is build for infrastructures that include hundreds of desktops. The fee for using it is calculated on a case-by-case basis.

If you want to learn more about testing and possible migration to this solution, submit a request or contact your account manager.

Thank you for using Cloud Desktop.
