Windows Virtual Desktop: Opportunity

Remote work for employees reflects an entirely new way of operating for many organizations. Employees are suddenly navigating everything from setting up remote productive and secure work spaces, to putting systems and processes in place that support collaboration and business continuity during time of pandemic.
Virtualization infrastructure allows employees to access their computer and be able to work anywhere anytime. It’s the basis to enabling employees to work remotely, while staying productive, collaborative, and fostering a sense of community without compromising security.
Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) enables businesses to perform app and desktop virtualization efficiently and securely by running it on Azure (the cloud).
