Why Cloud, Why Now? While it may seem out of the ordinary to push desktops from the cloud, it is the next step in the evolution of digital transformation. Similar to how you scale enterprise web-based applications to your employees and customers, you can now quickly deploy desktops with the same scalability potential. If you’ve migrated your applications and data to the cloud, why not host the desktops there too. Centralization keeps everything congregated and increases the performance potential. By software defining the desktop, you clip your dependency on rigid hardware and diminishing product lifecycles. While traditional VDI achieves this, deploying a cloud desktop platform is far simpler from a configuration and deployment perspective. Plus, you’re benefiting from the power, security, and scalability of Azure.

Companies are undergoing their digital transformations to become more agile, and Windows Virtual Desktop is a prime example of fluid flexibility. Users can access their expected desktop experience regardless of location. Access can be from any device that contains either the WVD native client application or a Windows Virtual Desktop HTML5 web client. Here’s a partial list of what WVD can do for you.
