10 Deploying Virtual Desktops
The process for deploying virtual desktops consists of creating a desktop template, importing the template
to SCVMM or vCenter (depending on the hypervisor used), and adding the template to a provisioning
group in vWorkspace. The vWorkspace broker will create the specified number of desktops from the
template to be used in the virtual desktop deployment.
To provision virtual desktops, perform the following tasks.

vSphere Desktop VM Example Configuration Table
The desktop template VM can be created by using any appropriate vCPU and memory allocations.
However, we recommend completing the following tasks to create the VHDX file for optimal use with
vWorkspace and Hyper-V.
