Virtual Desktop
Virtual desktop solutions help businesses reduce their total cost of ownership and grant users anytime, anywhere access to systems and applications.
As organizations shifted from traditional PC desktops to virtualized solutions, IT administrators hosted and provided access to applications and desktops from an on-premises data centre. This proved to be more efficient than traditional PC environments because IT admins were able to centrally manage desktop and app delivery, however, data centre costs were still significant. Now, with the increased capabilities of Microsoft Azure, and enhancements to the Azure Virtual Desktop offering, Citrix and Microsoft offer businesses new opportunity and economics to harness the value of cloud services and deliver high-performing cost-effective virtualization.
