You may already be aware that many organisations are currently leveraging virtual desktops. Right now, they are becoming increasingly popular, when much of the workforce is remote. The fact is, the way we work is rapidly evolving. An increasing number of companies are adapting to these changes and cutting costs with Azure Virtual Desktop, also known as AVD (formerly Azure WVD)
However, remote work isn’t the only use case for this solution. Azure Virtual Desktops offer an easy and secure way to give your entire team secure access to the information and applications they need on their devices. This saves time, resources and boosts employee efficiency.

Your staff need to work remotely
Your team need to be able to work from home, when travelling, on customer sites or in the office and have the same user experience wherever they are. You need to manage and secure access to company data and applications.
Simple security management
When you have contractors or part time staff that need access to information, security can become a concern. Azure WVD makes it easy for you to provide controlled and secure access to your data and applications. Additionally, your full-time employees can use their home PC (or Mac) to connect to their work virtual desktop. This keeps all your corporate information secure.
You have an occasional need for PCs
Don’t waste resources on setting up several physical machines if all of your employees don’t need a dedicated PC. Azure WVD makes it possible to deploy virtual PCs when you need them. As your needs change, you can add or remove virtual desktops to meet the needs of your workforce.
You need different types of PCs for different teams in the business
You can deploy different virtual desktops to different user groups. This way, users are only able to access the apps and information they need to do their work. They won’t see information that they don’t need, and you can give them the computing power that they need for their work.
