Benefits of Windows Virtual Desktop below
To find out if your business could benefit from implementing WVD we have listed our top benefits of Windows Virtual Desktop below.
Boost productivity
Employees require constant connectivity, flexibility, and specialized resources in order to stay productive and Windows Virtual Desktop provides the tools to do this. With WVD users can access their desktop from any internet-connected location using a company-issued or personal device. Seamless integration with Microsoft 365 apps for enterprise, Windows 10, and Microsoft Teams, also helps end-users to be productive with the desktop experience they’re used to.
Reduced costs of licensing and infrastructure
Upgrading and refreshing infrastructure can be a costly exercise. However, with WVD your business can start to see cost savings almost straight away. To start, hosting on Azure greatly reduces the infrastructure needed, mainly servers and the physical space to house them in. Labour savings will also be significant as there will be reduced requirements for full-time employees to maintain such a vast infrastructure.
There are also savings to be made when it comes to licensing. Windows 10 Virtual Hosted Desktop is included in some Windows and Microsoft 365 license packages that you only pay for when you’re using it.
Excellent security
Easily apply the right access controls to users and devices with Azure Active Directory Conditional Access. Reduce vulnerabilities and help keep your virtual desktops secure by leveraging reverse connections and security solutions like Azure Firewall, Azure Sentinel, and Azure Security Centre.
WVD is a great solution for organizations looking to provide virtualized desktops and applications. It provides a wide range of performance optimization, security, resiliency, and automation capability and the benefits of Windows Virtual Desktop don’t stop there.
Improve resiliency and protect against outrages
As part of Windows Virtual Desktop, you can help keep your team running during outages by leveraging built-in Azure Site Recovery and Azure Backup technologies. Mitigate downtime and prepare for planned maintenance with personalized alerts and guidance through Azure Service Health. Put Windows Virtual Desktop clearly in the middle of your business resiliency strategy.
Scale quickly
A company that wants, or needs, to grow quickly can do so with WVD. Rapid increases in hiring don’t need to be hindered by new infrastructure setup or device procurement in a bring your own device (BYOD) setting. For company-issued devices, the processes of creating an image, app packaging, and app deploying aren’t necessary. Conversely, a business that is going through a re-organization can easily downsize the number of users on WVD, and if it was a BYOD environment, it need not be stuck with devices and servers that will soon become outdated.
