By hibernating a VM, Azure saves the RAM contents to the OS disk and deallocates the VM, effectively pausing your billing for VM usage and only charging for storage resources.

The hibernation process is not only user-friendly but also economically and environmentally beneficial. From the end-user perspective, hibernation is a seamless experience, this video demonstrates the VM entering a hibernated state and then being started up again, allowing work to continue exactly where it was left off. When users return, they can swiftly resume their session in the exact state they left it, with all applications just as they were before hibernation. Hibernation allows for suspending a VM when not in use and then quickly resuming to the same state once a user logs back in. When it comes to Microsoft Azure, the ability to hibernate VMs (availability dependent on Microsoft’s rollout schedule) is a standout feature. By power managing MCS provisioned and imported VMs, Citrix DaaS ensures organizations can offer an optimal user experience while achieving cost management and power savings. Embracing the Hibernation FeatureĪt the heart of the cost-saving and eco-friendly approach in Azure environments is using an MCS single-session OS machine catalog that supports hibernation.

Here’s how leveraging Citrix DaaS and Azure’s hibernation features can lead to significant savings, better user experience, and a smaller carbon footprint. The integration of Citrix DaaS with Microsoft Azure presents a compelling solution to address both challenges concurrently. NetScaler Application Delivery Managementīusinesses today are increasingly focusing on two core challenges when managing their IT infrastructure: cost efficiency and environmental sustainability.NetScaler App Delivery and Security Service.
