Choosing Windows Virtual Desktop means improved security and a reduced management burden. For your employees, it means improved productivity and remote working. You will be able to gain full access to Windows and all familiar desktop applications from anywhere, at anytime.
No. As one of the top managed service providers, we can build the new virtual desktop environment alongside your existing infrastructure. We ensure this is thoroughly tested prior to moving your users over to the new environment.
Here’s what you get with Windows Virtual Desktop:
- Fully managed, always up to date, modern Windows experience.
- Rich desktop experience accessible from any device.
- Client-like experience including look and feel, Cortana, Edge, desktop search and Microsoft Search.
- Virtualise Store and legacy apps easily.
- Easily virtualise your existing Windows 10 applications.
- Create a full desktop virtualization environment in your Azure subscription without having to run any additional gateway servers.
- Publish as many host pools as you need to accommodate your diverse workloads.
- Bring your own image for production workloads, or test from the Azure Gallery.
- Reduce costs with pooled, multi-session resources. With the new Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session capability, exclusive to Windows Virtual Desktop and Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) roles on Windows Server, you can greatly reduce the number of virtual machines and operating system (OS) overhead, while still providing the same resources to your users.
- Provide individual ownership through personal (persistent) desktops.
- Use the Azure portal, Windows Virtual Desktop PowerShell and REST interfaces to configure the host pools, create app groups, assign users, and publish resources.
- Publish full desktop or individual remote apps from a single host pool, create individual app groups for different sets of users, or even assign users to multiple app groups to reduce the number of images.
- As you manage your environment, use built-in delegated access to assign roles and collect diagnostics to understand various configurations or user errors.
- Use the new Diagnostics service to troubleshoot errors.
- Only manage the image and virtual machines, not the infrastructure. You don’t need to personally manage the Remote Desktop roles like you do with Remote Desktop Services, just the virtual machines in your Azure subscription.
- Once assigned, users can launch any Windows Virtual Desktop client to connect users to their published Windows desktops and applications. Connect to your Microsoft power apps from any device through either a native application on your device or the Windows Virtual Desktop HTML5 web client.
- Securely establish users through reverse connections to the service, so you never have to leave any inbound ports open.
