Azure Virtual Desktop is built for organisations looking to deliver and manage virtual desktop environments effectively. It provides a secure, remote Windows desktop experience that supports a wide range of business use cases.
Azure Virtual Desktop manages the core infrastructure (including the broker, gateway, load balancing, and diagnostic) removing much of the complexity for your IT team. This allows your organisation to focus on managing Windows desktops, applications, and governance policies, rather than the underlying platform.
