Since Windows Virtual Desktop entered General Availability in October 2019, it has rapidly gained popularity among enterprises, government, and educational institutions. Microsoft's WVD provides organizations access to applications remotely that are running on top of Windows 7- or Windows 10- based consumer operating systems. Let's dig in to learn more about this virtual desktop solution's features and advantages that make it so unique, adaptable, and desirable for busy remote organizations today. Windows 10 Multi-session A core component of the WVD service is the new Windows EVD, a multi-session desktop-class Windows operating system. It is possible to use a multi-user operating system in other clouds, but the OS would have to be Windows Server. Because this is a server-class operating system, many cloud VDI implementations opt for Windows 10 Enterprise to give the users a native desktop experience but are forced to pay for a lot more infrastructure as a result of giving each user a complete VM. WVD + Windows 10 permits multiple users to use the same desktop virtual machine at the same time. This saves money due to using less Azure infrastructure and supplies the user with a familiar desktop experience. Simpler Profile Management This is a user profile container technology, letting the user switch desktop virtual machines without losing access to their customizations. Now users can use OneDrive and indexed search functionality on virtual desktops; which is not possible with RDS. WVD Management Service This Azure platform-as-a-service offering takes care of routing users' connection to the proper Azure virtual machine and this sounds simple, but it used to require multiple servers with RDS infrastructure roles. Now, Microsoft 365 handles this for you automatically. As part of the WVD service, Microsoft provides all of the "infrastructure RDS roles" as a managed service that's included with the WVD license that comes as part of the Microsoft 365 subscription. By providing these services at no additional charge and without the requirement for any dedicated VMs, WVD further reduces the cost of deployment and ongoing management of virtual desktops in Azure. Conclusion The Virtual Desktop Windows 10 feature makes it a good option for multiple small businesses with packed office spaces. Hosting providers Apps4rent would not only help you to set up a Virtual Desktop but even provides you with maximum uptime for your Virtually hosted Desktop.
