Desktop Virtualization with Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365

Deploy workstations faster, reduce IT costs, and enhance security. We’ll work with you to find the right virtualization solution for your needs.

Virtual workstations for flexible work with less IT effort

Your teams need to be able to work securely and reliably from anywhere. At the same time, demands for security, compliance, and cost control are increasing. Traditional desktop infrastructures are often too complex, inflexible, and difficult to scale for this purpose.

With Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365, you can deploy full Windows desktops from the Microsoft Cloud. This allows employees to work productively on virtually any device, while your IT department maintains central control, high security standards, and predictable deployment.

The result: Your employees work with flexibility on any device, your IT department retains full control, and your company scales workstations as needed without having to purchase new hardware.

Benefits of Virtual Desktops for your company

Set up workplaces in minutes

New employees, project teams, or external service providers can get a fully functional Windows workplace in no time—no need to order hardware or set it up on-site.

Improving security and compliance

Company data remains in the Microsoft Azure cloud. Features such as Zero Trust, Conditional Access, and network segmentation help better protect access, even on personal devices.

Cut IT costs, reduce effort

Centralized management reduces the effort required for operation, updates, and support. You pay only for the resources you actually need.

Working as usual on any device

Your teams work on the virtual desktop just as they would on a traditional PC: with Windows 11, Microsoft 365, Teams, and all their usual applications. Regardless of the operating system.

Azure Virtual Desktop vs. Windows 365: Which solution is right for you?

Microsoft offers two approaches to desktop virtualization. Both are based on the Azure cloud, but differ fundamentally in terms of flexibility, management overhead, and cost model. The right choice depends on your specific requirements.

	AZURE VIRTUAL DESKTOP	WINDOWS 365 (W365)
Model	VDI platform (Infrastructure as a Service)	Cloud PC (Software as a Service)
Ideal for	Complex requirements, variable user numbers, specific compliance requirements	Simple, fast deployment, predictable costs, fewer IT resources required
Scalability	Highly flexible: multi-session, auto-scaling, custom VM configuration	Easy to scale: assign or remove Cloud PCs per user
Management	Azure Portal, full control, requires Azure expertise	Microsoft Intune, less effort, lower skill requirements
Pricing model	Consumption-based (pay-as-you-go), optimizable through Reserved Instances and scaling	Fixed monthly cost per user, predictable budgeting
User experience	Familiar Windows environment, customizable, accessible from any device (including BYOD)	Familiar Windows environment, persistent, accessible from any device
Security	Azure-native security, Zero Trust, Conditional Access, network segmentation	Integrated security, Conditional Access, Microsoft Defender

Our Recommendation

In practice, many companies rely on a combination of both solutions: Windows 365 for standard workstations with predictable costs, and Azure Virtual Desktop for specialized requirements such as multisession environments, GPU workloads, or advanced compliance scenarios.
