Smart Connect™ is the headline recommendation on the User Portal. Rather than handing users a list of desktops to guess between, Atlas scores every host pool published to them on live latency, available session hosts, session load, and host health, then presents the top pick with a Connect button, an Atlas Confidence read-out, and a plain-language explanation of why it won. It comes with the User Portal on every plan.
Key capabilities
- Ranks every host pool published to the user on latency, available session hosts, session load, and host health
- Latency measured from the user's own browser, so geographically distributed pools rank honestly
- Host health feeds the score, deprioritizing pools with unhealthy session hosts
- Explainable by design: an Atlas Confidence percentage, an estimated login time, and the reasons behind the pick
- If a user's browser can't measure latency, Atlas uses a typical figure for the region and labels it as an estimate
- Works with Smart Recovery™ (Atlas AVD), which lets the user reset and reconnect a stuck session themselves
