Azure Virtual Desktop: Enterprise-Grade Virtual Desktops, Built Your Way
When Standard Desktop Solutions Don’t Quite Fit. Your business isn’t standard, so why should your desktop solution be? Perhaps you’ve got teams that only need access during office hours. Engineers running CAD software that needs serious GPU power.
Why Businesses Choose Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) delivers virtualized Windows desktops and applications from Microsoft’s Azure cloud to any device. This means you can run 20 users on four virtual machines instead of 20 individual Cloud PCs.
You can scale up during busy periods and down overnight. You can deliver just the specific applications people need rather than entire desktops. You can configure GPU-powered workstations for your design team whilst running lightweight desktops for admin staff.
Pay Only for What You Use
With consumption-based billing, your virtual machines can scale down or switch off when not needed. Set them to automatically reduce capacity after 6pm and weekends. Scale up for month-end processing. You’re not paying for idle desktops at 2am on Sunday. For businesses with variable usage patterns, this can cut costs dramatically compared to always-on solutions.
Multi-Session Efficiency
Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session capability means multiple users can share the same virtual machine simultaneously. Instead of provisioning individual desktops for everyone, you pool resources efficiently. Task workers, call centre staff, and shift workers get the desktop power they need without the waste of dedicated machines.
Complete Configurability
Need GPU acceleration for CAD workstations? Configure it. Want to stream just Microsoft Access to the accounts team rather than full desktops? Done. Require different security policies for different user groups? Built in. AVD gives you the control to build exactly what your business needs, not what a vendor thinks you might want.
Seamless Application Delivery
Through RemoteApp functionality, you can deliver individual applications to users’ devices without providing a full desktop. That specialist software that only runs on Windows Server 2019? Your Mac users can run it seamlessly. Legacy applications that won’t work on modern Windows? Keep them running in a controlled environment whilst the rest of your estate moves forward.
