Technology is playing a vital role in the rapid transformation of organisations worldwide. Companies can become more flexible by leveraging powerful new virtual technologies and their ability to transform the post-COVID workplace.
One of the best ways to help your business prosper is by utilising Azure Virtual Desktop, one of the most versatile tools any company has. Desktop virtualisation is a powerful tool that can help within many different parts of your organisation, and Microsoft’s Azure provides the best virtual desktop tools out there.
In this blog, we will go over the ins and outs of Azure Virtual Desktop and how you can utilise Azure Virtual Desktop within your organisation. We’ll also look at some of its benefits in 2024.
Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud-based desktop virtualisation service that lets users access a virtual Windows desktop hosted within the Azure cloud. This allows businesses to take advantage of the many benefits of the cloud for virtualisation while also providing a great way to enable remote working in a reliable and cost-efficient manner.
Microsoft Azure gives you access to full desktop virtualisation, meaning you can access your virtual Windows desktop in the cloud. This means you can easily access your desktop from anywhere, which is vital in the post-COVID remote world.
By utilising Azure Virtual Desktop to run desktops within your whole organisation, you can move your entire organisation’s desktop system to the cloud, which can help you save costs on hardware and resources to ensure everyone has their accessible systems, and turn that into an operational expenditure.
There are a ton of other benefits, too —
Using Azure Virtual Desktop, you can take advantage of remote app streaming. This allows you to run applications from the cloud, which comes with a host of benefits —
A virtual desktop is a powerful tool that any organisation should look to use. But what makes Azure Virtual Desktop so great?
Utilising Azure Virtual Desktop for your organisation’s desktop virtualisation needs lets you use the cloud. You don’t have to spend capital on central server hardware and all the maintenance that comes with maintaining a server that can host desktop virtualisation.
All of that cost becomes an operational expenditure that you’ll need to pay as a fee to your service provider, which is a lot easier and works out cheaper than having to pay for all that hardware and replacing it as time goes on.
As your business grows, you’ll need to develop your IT infrastructure. The cloud fully enables desktop virtualisation scaling, allowing you to increase your implementation with your organisation.
Scaling up physical server hardware is a pain, so the fact that Azure Virtual Desktop makes it so easy to scale, in a few clicks, is a massive benefit. But Azure Virtual Desktop has autoscaling, meaning it’ll automatically scale to match your needs to save you money and resources.
Azure Virtual Desktop is directly equipped with Microsoft Windows, which gives you access to Windows 10 and 11 on any device worldwide, including MacOS, Android, and iOS devices.
With this, you can further facilitate remote working as your employees can access their desktops no matter what the device they have at home is.
Azure Virtual Desktop gives you access to some of the most powerful hardware available to a business. Therefore, if you have tools that require lots of hardware power and don’t want to invest in all that hardware, Azure Virtual Desktop is a great solution.
Using remote app streaming, you can run the app on a virtual desktop, meaning you can take advantage of the high-performance hardware the Azure system runs on.
This is great for organisations that rely on demanding applications such as 3D Modelling and Rendering applications, graphic design applications, CAD applications, and any other hardware-intensive tools you might need.
Azure Virtual Desktop is a tool that any organisation can use to boost their organisation’s flexibility, power, and productivity. With Azure Virtual Desktop, desktop virtualisation has become more accessible than ever and can be used in many ways.
The Azure cloud network only helps here, as it lets you ensure reliable access to your desktops and great hardware to run your virtual desktops on.
