Title: The Cloud Desktop Silicon Problem: The CPU Lottery Hiding Inside Your EUC Bill

Speaker: Kees Baggermann

Abstract:

Everyone running virtual desktops knows their SKU. Almost no one knows which physical CPU is actually under it, and that gap is costing you money and performance right now.

This session breaks down why cloud desktop instances across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud run on a silicon spread that can span nearly a decade, all sold at the same hourly price. We'll cover the economics behind it (hyperscaler depreciation schedules that make older hardware pure margin), the mechanics of it (why a single SKU like Standard_D4s_v5 can land you on anything from a 2019 Cascade Lake to a 2021 Ice Lake host, with no way to request a specific generation), and what it means for you in practice: a documented 26% performance spread for identical pricing, and re-roll odds that are worse than a coin flip.

You'll leave with a playbook: how to audit your fleet's actual silicon vintage with a single CIM query, how to use proximity placement groups and host pool segmentation to narrow your odds, when dedicated hosts are worth the premium for a guarantee, and why locking in reservations before mid-2026 pricing changes matters.

Takeaway: A SKU version number is a feature-set boundary, not a CPU-generation guarantee. Query the CPU, segment the pools, and stop letting the silicon choose for you.

Built to Adapt: Endpoint Flexibility in an Unpredictable EUC Market

Synopsis:

The EUC market is moving faster than ever. Acquisitions, licensing changes, shifting product roadmaps, platform consolidation and end-of-life announcements are forcing organizations to reconsider decisions and strategy.

In this World of EUC webinar, 10ZiG explores how to build an endpoint strategy that leaves you in control and able to adapt to market changes without major overhaul.

We will discuss how organizations can support multiple VDI, DaaS and Cloud Workspace platforms, repurpose existing hardware alongside purpose built Thin and Zero Clients, and centrally manage a mixed endpoint estate, without creating more complexity.

Attendees will learn how a flexible endpoint foundation can reduce migration risk, protect existing investments, and give IT teams the freedom to change platforms, devices and deployment models as their requirements evolve.

Included in this webinar will be two new solutions from within the 10ZiG stack, their new 10ZiG Secure Browser (CEF powered) and 10ZiG v6 Manager a Linux Virtual Appliance support multi-tenancy.

In today’s market, the best endpoint isn’t just the one that works now, it is the one that doesn’t limit what you can do in the future.
