anDREa / myDRE optional services

Introduction

Updated: 2024-02-15 

Change: removed domain allowlisting from the list since this is a self-service

The myDRE experience can be enhanced with optional services.  Services like Software Share for all Workspaces, domain whitelisting, RDP-over-HTML with Microsoft Bastion.

These services are optional for they result in extra Microsoft Azure consumption at Tenant level. There are no extra costs involved from anDREa, only the Azure consumption costs that will be billed by your Microsoft Azure Provider.
All prices are indicative based on default prices list for Microsoft Azure and EXCLUDING VAT

These optional services will run your organization's Microsoft Azure Subscription: Shared Resources.

Shared Resource	Estimated Usage	Cost/month**
Networking resources		0.500
Log Analytics and Diagnostics storage	1 GB	2.743
Total		3.243.

**in Euro, excl. VAT, based on Microsoft Pricing Indication, your contract might have different rates

Software Share

Software can be uploaded to a Workspace and installed on a VM. An easier way for your users would be to install it from your software share managed by your Support Team. An additional benefit of regularly used software is that rather than having a copy on in all the Workspace Shares, only one copy exists centrally.

How to get it

1. Support Team requests the Software Share via ticket  
   

Requirements

1. None

Additional Costs

* the costs are estimates to give an indication, the actual cost will depend on your organization's use.

Shared Resource	Estimated Usage	Cost/month**
Chocolately Server		72.00
Storage Account and File Share	1 TB (€0.0551 / used GB)	55.10
Storage Transactions	200.000 Read/Write	7.50
Private Link	730 hours	7.30
Private Link Ingress/Egress	10 TB	91.00
Total		232.90

**in Euro, excl. VAT, based on Microsoft Pricing Indication, your contract might have different rates

RDP-over-HTML (Microsoft Bastion)

Accessing the VMs, both Windows and Linux, via the browser; both SSH and GUI. Especially for Linux users, RDP-over-HTML is both easy and secure. Some organisations block port 3389 for security reasons and RDP-over-HTML uses port 443 and thus also resolves this problem.

How to get it

1. Support Team requests Bastion via a ticket. 

Requirements

1. Minimum of 2 VMs for running Bastion.
   
2. Support Team must manually resizing Bastion for every batch of 30-50 users.
   
1. See: Bastion and Auto Scaling
