wherein the first management environment is a core location data center owned by a user interfacing with the virtual desktop management placement service via a front-end environment, and
wherein the second management environment is a public cloud environment operatively connected to the front-end environment via a wide area network; and
initiating a deployment of the virtual desktop service manager on the management environment based on the security profile analysis,
wherein the virtual desktop service manager manages remote computer-implemented services to be provided by backend devices to the front-end environment,
wherein the management environment in which the virtual desktop service manager is deployed is in a different environment from the backend devices, and
wherein the management environment is one of the first management environment or the second management environment.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein performing the security profile analysis comprises:
sending a front-end environment security profile form to an administrator of the front-end environment; and
obtaining a response to the front-end environment security profile form, wherein the response comprises a front-end environment security profile, and
wherein initiating the deployment comprises installing the virtual desktop service manager in the management environment based on the front-end environment security profile.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the virtual desktop service manager manages a virtual desktop infrastructure environment using the management environment.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the front-end environment security profile comprises at least one of: a number of open ports for accessing the front-end environment, a security protocol preference, a password complexity requirement for accessing the virtual desktop service manager, and an encryption requirement.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein performing the security profile analysis further comprises comparing the entity front-end environment security profile to each of the plurality of management environments to determine that a security profile of the management environment is compatible with the entity front-end environment security profile.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , the method further comprising:
after initiating the deployment of the virtual desktop service manager on the management environment:
