Azure Virtual Desktop is Microsoft's cloud-hosted desktop platform. It runs full Windows desktops and apps in Azure and delivers them to any device through the Windows App, Microsoft's unified client for remote desktop access. Unlike a fixed per-user Cloud PC, Azure Virtual Desktop gives your IT team direct control over host pools, session host images, network architecture, and scaling policy.
That control is the tradeoff. You get more flexibility to run pooled multi-session desktops, tune costs against usage, and integrate with an existing Azure environment. You also take on more configuration decisions than a pure SaaS desktop product. That's where we come in.
How CloudServus gets you there
Infrastructure assessment
- Environment audit of your current identity, network, and endpoint setup against Azure Virtual Desktop requirements.
- Deployment plan scoped to session host sizing, host pool design, and image strategy for your user counts.
Licensing and cost design
- License review to confirm which Microsoft 365 or Windows licenses already entitle you to Azure Virtual Desktop access.
- Cost modeling across pooled versus personal host pools, autoscaling policy, and session host sizing to keep Azure spend in check.
Security and access
- Identity and access controls through Microsoft Entra ID, conditional access, and external identity support for contractors and partners.
- Endpoint policy covering clipboard, printer, drive, and USB redirection so BYOD access doesn't become a data leak path.
Where it fits
Azure Virtual Desktop makes sense when you need more than a single-user Cloud PC per employee: remote and hybrid work at scale, BYOD policies without handing personal devices access to corporate data, offshore and field teams that need a consistent desktop regardless of local hardware, and time-boxed access for contractors or partners who shouldn't get a full endpoint on your network.
We size the deployment to the use case instead of defaulting to one host pool model for every user group.
Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365
Windows 365 provisions a dedicated Cloud PC per user for a fixed monthly cost. It's simpler to manage and predictable to budget, which fits organizations that want a SaaS-style desktop with minimal admin overhead.
Azure Virtual Desktop runs on your own Azure subscription and supports pooled, multi-session desktops that multiple users can share. That flexibility usually costs less per user at scale, but it requires more setup and ongoing management. We'll walk your user counts, budget model, and IT capacity against both and give you a straight recommendation.
