Access Windows 10 desktop and apps from anywhere, on any device.
Bring your own device (BYOD) and access your desktop and applications over the internet using an Azure Virtual Desktop client such as Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or HTML5. Choose the right Azure virtual machine (VM) to optimize performance and leverage the Windows 10 multi-session advantage on Azure to run multiple concurrent user sessions and save costs.
Leverage the seamless Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Office experience
Provide employees with the same experience as a local desktop or laptop – whether you are managing your inbox with Outlook, sharing files on OneDrive or collaborating with colleagues on Microsoft Teams meetings.
Reduce cost
There are no additional license costs—Azure Virtual Desktop can be used with your existing eligible Microsoft 365 or Windows per-user license.
Reduce infrastructure costs by right-sizing virtual machines (VMs) and shutting them down when not in use. Increase utilization of VMs with Windows 10 multi-session. Avoid upfront costs and align operational expenses to business usage.
Reduce management overhead by moving all your virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to the cloud with a managed service.
Deploy and scale quickly within the Azure portal
The Azure portal is your management hub for Azure Virtual Desktop. Configure network settings, add users, deploy desktop apps, and enable security with a few clicks. Set up automated scaling and manage your images efficiently with Azure Shared Image Gallery. Focus on your desktop apps and policies while Azure manages the rest.
