What is Microsoft Windows Virtual Desktop? WVD

A cloud-based service that provides a virtualised desktop and application service to the end-user

Ed Wright, Services and Development Director, Fabric

Windows Virtual Desktop is a cloud-based service that provides a virtualised desktop and application service to the end-user. This means that your desktop experience (wallpaper, icons, toolbar and apps) is hosted remotely on an online server within a Microsoft Data Center. 

This simplified virtualised desktop infrastructure can easily be scaled to support the needs of the organisation. Devices benefit from auto updates with built-in security polices, all managed by Microsoft. This allows users to access their desktop and applications for any device with their login credentials. 

Microsoft Windows Virtual desktop is the perfect solution for any organisation that wants to migrate from their existing Remote Desktop Services Environment. The Microsoft Cloud provides simple management and deployment tools to enable a seamless and efficient transition to the cloud.
