What is Managed Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)?

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) gives your people secure access to desktops and applications from anywhere. But running AVD well takes more than licensing and infrastructure. It needs the right design, strong security, active cost control and day‑to‑day operational management.

Our Managed Azure Virtual Desktop service brings this together in one place, combining AVD Complete, our rapid deployment and optimisation service, with AVD Management, our ongoing support and operational wrap. Whether you are starting from scratch or improving an existing environment, we meet you where you are.

Our AVD services give you everything you need…

AVD Complete and AVD Management are available as stand-alone services or together for an end-to-end solution.
