Windows Virtual Desktop

Enable a secure, remote desktop experience; anytime, anywhere.

Windows Virtual Desktop is Changing Cloud Services

Initially, on-premise solutions were required for businesses to make any sort of remote work possible. This of course meant the labor cost associated with not only installing the necessary hardware, but the cost of its oversight as well.

When Microsoft announced a cloud-based version of its desktop service — which would be known as Windows Virtual Desktop, or WVD — it vastly altered the landscape of remote work.

Windows Virtual Desktop allows businesses to seamlessly set up and enable a secure remote work environment for entire teams. It opens up a whole new way to connect with a unique “bring-your-own-device” approach which allows users to connect remotely regardless of device type. This means that Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or any other device users with an HTML5 web client could connect to its business enterprise experience while also leveraging the Windows 10 multi-session advantage.

Reap the Benefits of Windows Virtual Desktop

Windows Virtual Desktop also offers several other crucial benefits. Some of the most impactful include:

Consistent delivery

A unilateral virtualized experience which is fully optimized for both Windows 10 and Office 365. All team members enjoy the same access experience whether using a desktop or laptop which helps to streamline and improve productivity and collaboration.

Built-in security

WVD helps to securely store all employee and company data by leveraging Azure’s portfolio of security options, including Azure Firewall, Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel and Microsoft Defender ATP, instead of relying on local desktops alone. You also have the option of multi-factor authentication and role-based access control so you can manage who has access to what, and when.

Streamlined administration oversight

Remote IT management can be a challenge, but WVD uses one easy-to-use management shell which allows your IT team the ability to monitor, track, and review your entire remote environment including: virtual machines, users, and hosted apps

Simplified deployment & scalability

Ease the deployment and the management of your infrastructure by configuring your network, deploying desktops, and enabling security from a centralized hub. You also have the option of automated scaling through Microsoft’s Logic Apps.

Compliant with your industry

WVD offers compliance certifications, which include: ISO 27001, ISO 27018, ISO 27701, PCI, FedRAMP High for Commercial, HIPAA

Cost-effective

Reduce cost using existing licenses and pay only for what you use. Additionally, Windows Virtual Desktop is a free service and can be used with your existing Microsoft 365 or Windows per user license.
