The Practical Management Layer for Azure Virtual Desktop & Windows 365

Manage Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 from one familiar control plane; reduce costs up to 70%.

Running modern Microsoft virtual desktops shouldn't create new operational problems. Hydra centralizes AVD (cloud, hybrid, and Azure Local) and Windows 365 into a single management layer, helping teams reduce complexity, control costs, and operate efficiently.

Running AVD and Windows 365 Well is Harder Than it Should Be

Whether you're deploying a new environment, migrating from Citrix or Omnissa Horizon, or managing AVD and Windows 365 at scale, IT teams are under pressure to control costs and keep operations simple. That's where most organizations hit the gap between Microsoft's native portal hopping and what they really need to run virtual desktops efficiently day to day.

Predictable Costs Based on Real Usage, Not Every Login

Hydra uses peak concurrent user pricing, so you only pay for the number of users connected at the same time, not every login during the month. If 2,000 users log in during a month but only 600 are ever connected at once, Hydra charges for 600, not all 2,000. That's why organizations can see up to 40% lower platform costs compared to alternatives.

Hydra also reduces Azure spend through built-in autoscaling, power management, storage optimization, and burst protection, helping organizations reduce Azure costs by up to 70%.

Together, that means a lower total cost of ownership for AVD and Windows 365. No mandatory minimums, no surprise renewal hikes, and no paying a premium for features that sit unused.

Simple to Adopt. Workflows Your Team Already Knows

Hydra is designed around the workflows administrators use every day, whether you've been managing AVD or Windows 365 for years, or you're migrating from Citrix and Horizon. One place for the tools, visibility, and actions you use most.
