Enable multi-tenancy (manage tenants, isolation requirements)
Reduce cost of managing Cloud hosted apps and desktops

• Multi-Tenant Isolation • Tenant to farm affinity • User to app subscription
• Cloud Scale Administration • Multi-Farm management for apps and
desktops
• Application and Lifecycle Mgmt • Workload versioning • Phased rollout of images
