Azure Virtual Desktop Implementation Partner

Bridgeall’s implementation process for Azure Virtual Desktop is designed to eliminate the complexity associated with virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). We begin with a technical briefing and discovery session to align the environment with your specific business requirements,whether that is supporting a hybrid workforce, enabling a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy, or securing access for third-party contractors.

During implementation, our certified Azure consultants configure optimised host pools using Windows 11 multi-session technology, which allows multiple users to share a single virtual machine without compromising performance.

We focus heavily on Identity and Access Management, integrating AVD with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) and enforcing Conditional Access policies to ensure your data remains encrypted and protected from the moment a user logs in.

Azure Virtual Desktop FAQs

Azure Virtual Desktop is a secure, cloud-based platform from Microsoft that lets users access a full Windows desktop and apps from anywhere, on any device.

Azure Virtual Desktop pricing is a flexible, consumption-based model that combines two main components: the cost of underlying Azure resources like virtual machines, storage, and networking, and per-user access rights. Organisations can optimise costs by leveraging existing eligible Microsoft 365 or Windows licenses and using features like auto-scaling to pay only for the resources they use. Find out more about Azure Virtual Desktop pricing here on the Azure website.

Everything sent within the Azure environment is automatically encrypted. The Azure network has automatic detection to prevent distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, similar to some of the largest services on the internet. Microsoft spends more than $1bn a year in cyber security improvements across its cloud platforms and users of Azure benefit from this every day.

All Azure services can be secured with Azure Active Directory and Multi Factor Authentication.

Migrating to Azure Virtual Desktop offers significant benefits, including enhanced security, simplified management, and improved flexibility. It enables secure remote work from any device, eliminates the need for expensive on-premises hardware, and provides seamless integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, allowing businesses to scale resources on demand.

Bridgeall has years of experience helping organisations with Azure Virtual Desktop through our implementation and Managed Services. Some of our previous projects and customers can be found here.

With Azure Virtual Desktop the key thing is to identify good use cases for the solution. This is why we recommend a proof of concept to ensure that for your use case you see the benefits you are looking for to justify a full roll out. It’s also good to check if you have any licenses included in your Microsoft 365 Bundle.

Azure Virtual Desktop is the new name for Windows Virtual Desktop, so there is no real difference. Since becoming Azure Virtual Desktop, the solution has received a number of new features and upgrades.
