RDP User Code * This field is required.Enter the RDP User Code associated with this VM and user account. This information can be found in your company profile credentials.

4

RDP VM Name* This field is required.Enter the 'exact' name of the VM for this provisioning cycle. This information can be found in your company profile credentials.

5

RDP VM Action* This field is required.Choose 'Restart' to restart your VM or choose 'Performance Boost' to temporarily increase the performance of your VM. NOTE: Choosing either action will cause the targeted desktop or server to reboot/restart. Please make sure to save any work you are working on before proceeding if applicable. If the performance boost is scheduled, the VM will restart once during the initial boost upgrade, and once when reverting to its default size, so please plan your computing activities accordingly.

Is this a GPU enabled VM? If this a GPU enabled VM, please select YES. If the VM is not GPU enabled, or you do not know, please select NO. Information related to the GPU enabled status of the VM can be found in your end-user information record under the GPU enabled column in your company profile credentials.

YESNO

Performance Boost TierPlease choose the performance boost that represents the right fit for your RDP desktop or server. Performance boosts can also be used to evaluate performance needs or requirements, which may involve a permanent step up in the default desktop or server size. NOT GPU ENABLED: Tier I Boost Series: Great for general business application processing. Tier II Boost Series: Supports enhanced VRAM performance, SSD class disks, and workstation class CPUs. Tier III Boost Series: Our most performant boost class. Best used for servers and Linux Enterprise Multiuser Desktops. GPU ENABLED: Tier IV Boost Series: For multimedia editing, and/or GPU required processing such artificial intelligence programming. NOTE: Tier IV Boost Series is only available for desktops and servers that are initially provisioned with GPUs. If your desktop or server is GPU enabled, Tier IV Boost Series options will be made available in the list below. All performance boost cycles are non-refundable, so please be sure to choose the correct size and time initiation.

Tier I Performance Boost SizePerformance Class Type: Web/Office Applications Disk Class Type: Standard HDD CPU Class Type: Desktop VRAM (Virtual Memory) Performance: Standard Use Case: Tier I Boost Series are great for general business application processing. The Tier I Boost Series is an excellent choice for processing medium to large Excel, Word, and PowerPoint documents. The Tier I Boost Series can also significantly enhance the performance and efficiency of any web-based applications which rely on web browsers as their primary interface making it a perfect solution for heavier workdays where office work needs to get done quickly and efficiently. Use the Tier I Boost Series when you need to get web and office type work done in a much more performant and timely manner to save time and reduce work effort. B2ms: 2 CPUs/8G RAM/16G VRAM =$2.00/hr B4ms: 4 CPUs/8G RAM/32G VRAM = $4.00/hr B8ms: 8 CPUs/16G RAM/64G VRAM = $6.00/hr B16ms: 16 CPUs/32G RAM/128G VRAM = $8.00/hr B20ms: 20 CPUs/80G RAM/156 VRAM = $10.00/hr

Tier II Performance Boost Size Performance Class Type: Desktop Publishing/Finance Applications Disk Class Type: Standard SSD CPU Class Type: Workstation VRAM (Virtual Memory) Performance: Enhanced Use Case: Like the Tier I Boost Series, the Tier II Boost Series is great for general business application processing. However, this series supports enhanced VRAM performance, SSD class disks, and workstation class CPUs, which make it 2x-4x as performant as the Tier I Boost Series when using similar sizes. For an example comparison, a D2as_v4 series boost is 2x-4x times performant as a B2ms series boost, because of its much faster processor and much more performant SSD disk class. Use the Tier II Boost Series when you need a premium, performant desktop experience when working with extra-large Office type documents, financial applications such as QuickBooks, extremely demanding web applications, database applications, GIS applications, and/or heavy native desktop file types, such as exceptionally large PDFs and images when doing desktop publishing and/or image editing and processing. D2as_v4: 2 CPUs/8G RAM/16G VRAM = $3.00/hr D4as_v4: 4 CPUs/8G RAM/32G VRAM = $6.00/hr D8as_v4: 8 CPUs/16G RAM/64G VRAM = $9.00/hr D16as_v4: 16 CPUs/32G RAM/128G VRAM = $12.00/hr D32as_v4: 32 CPUs/64G RAM/256G VRAM = $15.00/hr D64as_v4: 64 CPUs/128G RAM/512G VRAM = $18.00/hr

Tier III Performance Boost SizePerformance Class Type: Server/Linux Enterprise Multi-User Desktop Disk Class Type: Premium SSD CPU Class Type: Server VRAM (Virtual Memory) Performance: Premium Use Case: The Tier III Boost Series is our most performant boost class, is reserved for RDP servers and our Linux Enterprise Multi-User Desktop only and sports a much more performant CPU and disk class than both the Tier I, and Tier II boost series. The Tier III Boost Series is great to use for RDP servers and Linux Enterprise Multi-User Desktop which have a need to boost performance on days where heavy batch processing (such as county elections) is necessary, when a performance enhancement is required due to spikes in end-user/customer demand, or during in-office routines where the compute load on the server is known to increase considerably due to end-user computing needs. Use the Tier III Boost Series when there is a need to reduce the time it takes batch process data, and/or ensure performance is at an all-time high, so as to meet end-user/customer demand and improve their overall experience by eliminating all computing performance bottlenecks. E2as_v4: 2 CPUs/16G RAM/32G VRAM = $4.00 E4as_v4: 4 CPUs/32G RAM/64G VRAM = $8.00 E8as_v4: 8 CPUs/64G RAM/128G VRAM = $12.00 E16as_v4: 16 CPUs/128G RAM/256G VRAM = $16.00 E32as_v4: 32 CPUs/256G RAM/512G VRAM = $20.00 E64as_v4: 64 CPUs/512G RAM/800G VRAM = $24.00 E96as_v4: 96 CPUs/600G RAM/1T VRAM = $28.00

Tier IV Performance Boost SizePerformance Class Type: Desktop Multimedia/GPU Compute Disk Class Type: Standard SSD CPU Class Type: Workstation VRAM (Virtual Memory) Performance: Enhanced Use Case: While the Tier IV Boost Series supports GPU-enabled Windows Desktops, it can also increase the speed and efficiency of our Linux Enterprise Multi-User desktops by giving any one user full access to the GPU when not in use by others on the system or by giving multiple users shared access to the same GPU when multiple end-users are using the desktop or server environment. Our Linux Enterprise Multi-User Desktops benefit from a more powerful GPU during boost times. The Tier IV Boost Series is only available for GPU-enabled VMs and is ideal for improving multimedia workflows, Linux Enterprise Desktop user experience, or analytical data processing using a CPU/GPU combine. NV4as_v4: 8 CPUs/28G RAM/128G VRAM = DEFAULT NV8as_v4: 8 CPUs/28G RAM/128G VRAM = $10.00 NV16as_v4: 16 CPUs/56G RAM/256G VRAM = $15.00 NV32as_v4: 32 CPUs/112G RAM/512G VRAM = $20.00
