Artisan products can be deployed in different types of
virtualised environments. Before proceeding, it is important to determine which
model your organisation is using, as the configuration steps differ
slightly.
There are two common deployment models:
• Session-based environments – Multiple users connect to a shared
virtual machine (VM) or server, with each user operating within their own
isolated session. This model is commonly delivered using solutions such as
Citrix or Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) using multi-session
configurations.
• VDI (Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure) environments –
Each user is assigned their own dedicated VM (a one-to-one relationship between
user and machine). This is typically referred to as a personal or dedicated
desktop.

Selecting the correct setup guide will ensure that licensing, updates, and system behaviour are configured appropriately for your environment.
