We often have businesses approach us with concerns around an ever-growing mobile workforce and the security challenges this brings.
As a Microsoft Cloud Service Partner, Enhanced can tackle these challenges by deploying Microsoft Cloud solutions that provide employees with the tools to work from anywhere, while ensuring access to core services are secure and data is not at risk.
Well such solution is Windows Virtual Desktop “WVD”.
Virtual desktops are not new but have been very expensive to implement robustly due to the need to build out a vast amount of equipment at a core location.
What if that core platform was already built and also managed on your behalf?
This is where Microsoft WVD is taking the market by storm!
Built on Microsoft’s public cloud platform Azure and fully managed from their data centres Microsoft WVD is now making virtual desktops a real alternative to a local desktop both inside and outside of the corporate network.
WVD and the Azure eco-system provides extensive security and data protection including conditional access and multi factor authentication amongst other technologies.
Whilst a flexible and resilient infrastructure is important, user experience is critical!
This is where WVD really excels by providing the first virtual desktop service that provides a true Windows 10 experience from a Multi-session environment. WVD was architected from the ground up around user experience. Applications look and feel like they are local and can also be integrated into the task bar.
The great news is that all Microsoft 365 plans give you the necessary Windows and Office licences to run WVD!
An unexpected benefit of WVD has been Microsoft offering free extended security updates for Windows 7 running on WVD. This means that companies can utilise legacy applications while they are transitioned to Windows 10.
