Azure Virtual Desktop

What is Azure Virtual Desktop?

One of the problems that companies have had over the years is how can their remote workers access required applications quickly, reliably, and securely? There are also challenges of managing a remote workforce, shipping workstations to employee homes, and trying to get those workstations back when the employee leaves. Enter Azure Virtual Desktop or AVD.

AVD eliminates the need to pay for and manage workstations in remote situations. Your employees can access their work applications from their Home Computer in a safe and secure manner. What’s more, you only must pay for the services that you use – no longer will you have workstations sitting around the office that no one is using. In today’s hybrid or work from home environments there is simply no better solution than AVD.

Benefits of Azure Virtual Desktop?

1. Provides for the deployment of Windows 10/11virtual systems, without the cost or hassle of purchasing/leasing and managing physical devices.
2. Provides for the effective enforcement of compliance and IT Security policies.
3. Flexible provisioning allows you to only pay for what you use.
4. Built-in robust Business Continuity and Incidence Response capabilities.
5. Incredibly reliable Microsoft Azure has less than 30 minutes downtime on average per year
6. You want the benefits of server or database software in an environment you fully control, not one controlled by a cloud vendor, with the flexibility of cloud-based work from anywhere infrastructure.

But Virtual Desktop Is Expensive & Slow!

Wrong!

• With the improvement of cloud architectures and the lower cost of internet access, the expense and responsiveness of Virtual Desktops has improved dramatically.
• AVD is housed in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. The largest and most robust cloud infrastructure in the world.
• The expertise and knowledge of the technical team building your AVD architecture has a significant impact on the cost and responsiveness of your AVD environment.
• Done right, AVD is about the same cost as purchasing other remote access solutions.
