Introduction
Implementing any VDI solution correctly requires understanding its specific architecture rather than treating it as an interchangeable commodity. Accops’s VDI solution, built around its HyWorks engine, has its own specific components, terminology, and implementation considerations that differ in some respects from Citrix or Azure Virtual Desktop. This page provides a technical implementation guide for IT teams planning an Accops VDI rollout.
Understanding the Accops VDI Solution
The Accops VDI solution centers on the HyWorks connection broker and management engine, which provisions and manages virtual desktop sessions from a pool of virtual machines running on your chosen hypervisor or cloud infrastructure. A gateway component handles secure external access, while an authentication layer integrates with your existing directory service. Together, these components allow Accops to provision persistent, non-persistent, and pooled desktop types from a unified management console.
Benefits of Understanding This Architecture
- Correct capacity planning: understanding component roles helps size infrastructure appropriately.
- Faster troubleshooting: knowing which component handles what accelerates root-cause diagnosis.
- Better implementation planning: understanding dependencies avoids sequencing mistakes during rollout.
- Informed scaling decisions: clarity on architecture supports confident growth planning.
Core Implementation Components
- HyWorks connection broker: manages session provisioning and routes users to available virtual machines.
- Virtual machine pool: the underlying compute resources hosting individual desktop sessions.
- Gateway component: handles secure access for users connecting from outside the corporate network.
- Authentication integration: connects to Active Directory or other identity systems for user verification.
- Management console: gives administrators visibility into session health and resource utilization.
Business Use Cases
A company implementing Accops for the first time works through a structured implementation plan covering broker sizing, virtual machine pool capacity, and gateway configuration for remote access, avoiding the false starts common in unstructured first deployments. An organization scaling an existing Accops environment reviews connection broker capacity and virtual machine pool sizing to support additional concurrent users. A business integrating Accops with an existing Active Directory environment ensures authentication configuration is completed correctly before broader rollout.
Industries and Implementation Priorities
- BFSI: prioritizes gateway security configuration for remote access scenarios.
- Government: prioritizes on-premises virtual machine pool hosting for data residency.
- BPO: prioritizes rapid virtual machine pool scaling for fluctuating headcount.
- Manufacturing: prioritizes reliable authentication integration across distributed plant locations.
Our Implementation Process
Virajo AutoSoft begins Accops VDI implementations with an infrastructure assessment, determining hypervisor or cloud hosting for the virtual machine pool. We configure the HyWorks connection broker, size the virtual machine pool based on expected concurrent usage, integrate authentication with your existing directory service, and configure the gateway component for secure external access. A pilot group validates the implementation before full rollout, with our managed services team continuing support afterward.
Security Considerations
The gateway component plays a particularly important security role for any users connecting from outside the corporate network, and should be configured with strong access controls and monitoring from the outset. Virajo AutoSoft configures multi-factor authentication at the authentication layer, hardens the gateway component against external threats, and can layer additional Accops HySecure capabilities for organizations requiring stricter access controls.

| Authentication | Correct directory service integration |
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the HyWorks connection broker?
It is the component that manages session provisioning and routes users to available virtual machines.
2. Does Accops require a specific hypervisor?
Accops supports multiple hypervisor and cloud infrastructure options, offering flexibility in hosting choice.
3. What does the gateway component do?
It handles secure access for users connecting from outside the corporate network.
4. Can Accops integrate with Active Directory?
Yes, authentication integration with Active Directory or other identity systems is a standard implementation step.
5. How is virtual machine pool sizing determined?
Sizing is based on expected concurrent usage patterns and desktop type mix.
6. Is broker redundancy possible?
Yes, redundancy planning for the connection broker is recommended for high availability.
7. Can Virajo AutoSoft implement Accops for us?
Yes, we handle full implementation from infrastructure assessment through pilot validation and rollout.
8. How long does implementation typically take?
Pilot environments are typically ready within a few weeks, depending on infrastructure readiness.
9. Is the gateway component a common security focus?
Yes, since it handles external access, it requires particular attention to hardening and monitoring.
10. Can this architecture scale as we grow?
