Advantages of Azure Virtual Desktop

Get cost-effective licensing

Did you know that organisations running Microsoft Office 365 E3 or above can use Azure Virtual Desktop without any additional licensing costs? Simply pay your Azure cloud computing costs, which will be amended on a monthly basis to reflect usage, and you're good to go.

Simple setup and management

In comparison to its biggest competitors, Azure Virtual Desktop is relatively straight-forward to set up and simple to manage. This will soon become even easier thanks to the new cloud management platform that’s coming soon - watch this space.

Made for Cloud

Azure Virtual Desktop fits neatly into an existing cloud-based or hybrid computing strategy, making it ideal for organisations already planning or in the initial stages of their move. It runs entirely in the Azure cloud, so there is no requirement for additional hardware or capital IT investments.

Built-in Security

Running in Azure means that AVD benefits from all of the advanced security features attached to the Azure platform, as well as all future security enhancements released by Microsoft for Azure.

These features, which are continually updated by Microsoft, include the Azure Security Centre, the Azure Sentinel security information and event manager (SIEM) platform, Microsoft Defender advanced threat protection, and the Azure Firewall.

Future-proof your technology

The flexibility of this cloud platform allows organisations to easily increase or decrease their numbers of virtual machines, the amount of RAM and hard disk storage on demand as their business needs change in the future.

Alongside Microsoft's ongoing enhancements to Azure Virtual Desktop, which demonstrate their commitment to continuing to develop and improve this platform for the future, this is a sure-fire way to futureproof your estate.
