Service Deliverables • Greenfield deployment without migration headaches. • Remote delivery based on proven blueprints. • Scalability options based on user types and applications. • Deployment via code (terraform) offers deploying the entire infrastructure within minutes

Benefits • Accelerated AVD environment deployment. • In-depth training during deployment. • Detailed documentation for ongoing management. • Efficiency gains with AVD and Azure.

Centralization: AVD centralizes your desktop infrastructure, allowing you to manage and maintain virtual desktops from a single location. This streamlines administration and ensures consistency across your organization. • No Hardware Refreshment: With AVD, there’s no need for frequent hardware upgrades or refresh cycles. Your virtual desktops run in the cloud, eliminating the burden of managing physical hardware. • Enhanced Security: AVD provides robust security features, including encryption, multi-factor authentication, and network isolation. Your data remains protected, even when accessed remotely. • Attracting Talent and Easy Onboarding: Offering AVD as part of your technology stack can attract top talent. New employees can quickly onboard with pre-configured virtual desktops, reducing setup time. • Lower IT Spend: AVD reduces infrastructure costs by eliminating the need for on-premises servers and hardware. You pay only for the resources you use, optimizing your IT budget. • On-Demand Scaling: AVD allows you to scale up or down based on business needs. Whether you’re expanding your workforce or adjusting capacity, AVD adapts seamlessly. • End User Productivity and Flexibility: Users can access their personalized desktops from any device, anywhere. This flexibility enhances productivity and work-life balance. • Centralized Content and Data: AVD keeps content and data centralized in the public cloud. Collaboration becomes easier, and data remains secure. • Leveraging Powerful Cloud Services: By integrating with Azure services, AVD enables advanced capabilities such as machine learning, analytics, and AI.
