What Is Microsoft AVD? How Does It Streamline My Business?
Microsoft’s Azure Virtual Desktop is a service that can effectively extend the life of your hardware. It is much more than just a VPN; there is no cost structure associated with implementing the service, and it’s faster and more reliable than a VPN.
Consider that office laptop that is at the end of its life: It doesn’t have the storage or processing power you need. That same laptop can be reborn as the access point to your virtual desktop. All the heavy computing tasks are done by the virtual machine and the old laptop’s sole responsibility is to maintain the internet connection to that machine.
Using virtual machines (VMs) shifts the cost of your equipment from CapEx to OpEx and is more easily scalable in times of high turnover or high growth. Companies that hire remote workers may choose to no longer provide a desktop or laptop for home use but a virtual machine instead, giving the company both more control and security over its data.

How Azure Virtual Desktop Provides Security and Productivity
AVDs provide the value of virtual desktops while also allowing the configuration needed to meet your business’s integration needs. They serve as a way to secure your business processes and take them to the next level. Microsoft AVD users transform your business via:
You must protect your data at all hours; day and night. With Microsoft AVD, you have secure access to your company’s network with a reverse protocol, authenticated against Microsoft itself, as well as multi-factor authentication as an optional added security layer.
Additionally, Microsoft AVD is designed to support transformative products and services delivery, offer seamless scalability, provide cost savings and give users choice and flexibility regarding VM families and sizes. Microsoft AVD can be considered an operational cost rather than an upfront cost because pricing is billed on consumption.
