What is Azure Virtual Desktop?
Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud-based service from Microsoft that allows users to remotely access a Windows-based virtual desktop from any device. It uses Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect to the virtual machine, which can be configured with a variety of software and settings. Azure Virtual Desktop also includes features such as multi-session support, application publishing, and user profile management. This service can be used by individuals, organisations, and enterprise customers to provide secure and flexible remote access to Windows-based desktops and applications.
Access from anywhere
Azure Virtual Desktop lets you use your regular work computer from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. It’s easy to set up and use, and it’s secure. You can use it on a lot of different devices, like your personal computer, phone, or tablet. You can even use it on different types of operating systems, like Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android. Plus, you can save money because you can use licenses you already have. And, it’s easy to manage because you can control everything through the Azure portal. Azure Virtual Desktop makes it easy for you to work remotely and securely, using the device and operating system you prefer.
Cost Savings
Azure Virtual Desktop allows you to reduce costs in several ways. Firstly you can reduce infrastructure costs by right-sizing virtual machines (VMs) and shutting them down when not in use. Secondly, you can increase the utilisation of VMs with Windows 10 and Windows 11 multi-session features. This helps you avoid upfront costs and align operational expenses to business usage.
Lastly, it also helps in reducing management overhead by moving all your virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to the cloud with a managed service. This ensures that all your virtual desktop needs are taken care of, with minimal management effort.
Scalable and Easy to deploy
Azure Virtual Desktop allows you to deploy and scale quickly within the Azure portal. With the Azure portal as your management hub, you can easily configure network settings, add users, deploy desktop apps, and enable security with just a few clicks. Additionally, you can set up automated scaling and manage your images efficiently using Azure Shared Image Gallery. This allows you to focus on your desktop apps and policies, while Azure manages the rest. The Azure portal provides a user-friendly interface for managing your Azure Virtual Desktop, making deployment and scaling a breeze.
