Access Windows 10 and Windows 11 desktop and applications from virtually anywhere.
Bring your own device (BYOD) and access your desktop and applications over the Internet using an Azure Virtual Desktop client such as Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or HTML5. Choose the right Azure virtual machine (VM) to optimize performance and leverage the Windows 10 and Windows 11 multi-session advantage on Azure to run multiple concurrent user sessions and save costs.
Reduce Cost – there are no additional license costs — Azure Virtual Desktop can be used with your existing eligible Microsoft 365 or Windows per-user license. Reduce infrastructure costs by right-sizing virtual machines (VMs) and shutting them down when not in use. Increase utilization of VMs with Windows 10 and Windows 11 multi-session. Avoid upfront costs and align operational expenses to business usage.
