Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop Services

Head in the cloud, feet on the ground

With cloud-based access from any device, anywhere, employees get the flexibility they want while businesses get the productivity they need. Even if a device goes missing, no sweat. Data stays secure in the cloud, and users can pick up right where they left off from another device. Azure Virtual Desktop services offer business continuity with a safety net. 

Virtual desktops don’t just make work easier, they make IT leaner and greener. Lower infrastructure costs? Check. Less energy use and hardware upkeep? Double check.  

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) takes it up a notch, offering smooth, secure access to everything from heavy-duty apps to daily collab tools like Teams. Scaling up or onboarding? That’s a matter of minutes, not days.

FAQs

01

A virtual desktop enables users to access their computers and applications from anywhere with an internet connection, on any device. In more technical terms, it’s a preconfigured image of the operating system and applications where the desktop environment is separate from the physical device used to access it.  

Virtual desktops can support remote working, enabling access to corporate applications with centralised data sets, and remove the dependency on a single office location.

02

Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud-based desktop and virtualisation service. It is designed to enable users to set up a scalable and flexible environment.  

With Azure Virtual Desktop, you can create a full desktop virtualisation within your Azure subscription. You can also publish host pools for differing application sets, leverage custom images for workloads, and reduce costs with pooled, multi-session resources.  

By using an Azure Virtual Desktop, you can also deploy and manage desktops and applications that enable you to only manage the image and virtual machine, not the entire infrastructure. You can also better connect users, enabling them to launch any Azure Virtual Desktop client to connect to their published desktops and apps.   

03

By moving to Azure Virtual Desktop, businesses can reduce the need for expensive on-premise infrastructure and ongoing hardware refresh cycles.
