Azure Virtual Desktop: The Flexible VDI Solution for The Hybrid Workplace
By Oakwood MarketingOn
When Microsoft launched Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop) towards the end of 2019, nobody could’ve predicted a global pandemic would force millions of workers to leave the office and work from home. Organizations around the world scrambled to migrate important apps and data to the cloud to gain business resilience and agility. And, to support the new remote workforce, many organizations turned to Azure Virtual Desktop to give remote users a secure, easy to manage, productive personal computing experience with Windows 10 from the cloud.
If you’re reading this post, chances are you’re already familiar with Desktop Virtualization platforms. Rather than digging too deep into the broad features and benefits of Microsoft’s AVD product, we’re going to spend our time highlighting specifically how those within the Financial Services, Healthcare and Public Sector industries are re-thinking the way they leverage this technology to service their internal teams and the clients they serve.
