Key capabilities

Seamless access from any device. Virtual Desktops can be accessed anytime, anywhere from legacy PCsiPads, iPhones, Android-based tablets and smartphones, thin clients. Virtual Desktops can be deployed on-demand in minutes so end-users can stop working in one location or on one device and use another device (including those they own themselves) at a different location to pick up right where they left off. All the data and apps on each employee desktop remain secure because all desktop images continue to reside in the highly secure Microsoft Azure Cloud. So if a notebook or tablet is lost or stolen, it can be wiped and that end-user's desktop image can be placed on another device.

While one of the main motivators for switching to desktops as a service (DaaS) is security, you'll find that the ease of use for everyone – IT staff, management, and individual employees – is a huge payoff. By switching to desktops in the cloud you can eliminate the need for in-house servers. That makes your IT department cheaper, more secure, and less prone to failure. With desktop as a service, you also eliminate the need for managing software or hardware updates yourself.

Staff love desktops in the cloud because it allows them to access their work desktop from anywhere: on their mobile phone, tablet, or laptop. Whether you use virtual desktops to enable remote working, or simply as a tool to keep your employees connected at all times, the result is increased accessibility at a reduced cost.
