Design and configure desktop virtualisation

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, and configure, the desktop virtualisation technologies needed to support an enterprise virtualisation business solution.

It applies to senior networking staff responsible for increasing the sustainability of an enterprise.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare the design specifications and plan to implement enterprise desktop environments

1.1 Research the available desktop virtualisation software vendors

1.2 Evaluate the desktop virtualisation environment

1.3 Analyse and compare, the features and components of desktop virtualisation environment

1.4 Identify the desktop-specific design objectives, requirements and limitations

1.5 Document the design infrastructure, according to the enterprise requirements

1.6 Plan implementation and deployment, using the recommended design

2. Implement and configure the desktop virtualisation infrastructure and services

2.1 Assess the desktop virtualisation software and analyse its relevance to the enterprise requirements

2.2 Install and configure the desktop virtualisation environment

2.3 Implement specific features and functions, in order to provide suitable solutions to identified problems

2.4 Implement and manage the testing process

2.5 Apply desktop virtualisation technologies, to an accepted industry standard

3. Implement the application virtualisation

3.1 Plan the implementation and deployment of the application virtualisation software

3.2 Configure and test the application virtualisation system’s components

3.3 Maintain, update and tune, the system’s components

Evidence of the ability to:

design, configure and manage the implementation of the virtualised enterprise desktop environment

analyse and critically evaluate, the features and functions of the virtualised enterprise desktop environment

plan, configure and maintain, the application virtualisation software.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

research current government and industry policies, and guidelines, relating to the development of efficient and reliable, information and communications technology (ICT) environments

research the current technologies and processes designed to produce an efficient and reliable ICT environment

determine the structure, functions and business organisation of the client

identify and apply, the available tools and software applications required to manage the virtual desktop environment

formulate the configuration of software applications required to manage the virtual desktop environment

formulate the configuration required to integrate virtual machines into the existing network design.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the network industry, and include access to:

a site where industry-specific technologies may be used

industry-specific technologies currently used in the industry

documents detailing workplace health and safety (WHS) standards, environmental guidelines and enterprise requirements.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
