Frequently Asked
Questions
Read some of the most frequently asked questions regarding our Virtual Desktop Infrastructure services.
What is Azure Virtual Desktop?
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a cloud-based desktop and application virtualisation service from Microsoft. It allows your team to access a full Windows desktop or individual applications from any device, anywhere. AVD runs on Azure infrastructure, so you benefit from Microsoft's global network, security and compliance certifications without managing the underlying hardware.
What devices can access virtual desktops?
Virtual desktops can be accessed from virtually any device with an internet connection - Windows PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, iPads, Android tablets and thin clients. Users connect via the Remote Desktop client or a web browser, so there is no need for specialist hardware at each location.
How does VDI compare to traditional desktops for cost?
VDI can deliver significant cost savings compared to traditional desktop deployments. You reduce hardware spend by extending the life of existing devices or using low-cost thin clients. Centralised management lowers IT support costs, and Azure's pay-as-you-go model means you only pay for what you use. For multi-site businesses, the savings on hardware refresh cycles alone can be substantial.
Is virtual desktop suitable for hospitality head office teams?
Absolutely. Virtual desktops are an excellent fit for hospitality head office teams who need access to finance systems, HR platforms, reporting tools and Microsoft 365 from multiple locations. Staff can work securely from any site, from home or on the move - with the same desktop experience every time.
What internet speed is needed?
A stable broadband connection of at least 5 Mbps per user is recommended for a good virtual desktop experience. For optimal performance with video calls and graphics-intensive applications, we recommend 10 Mbps or more per user. We assess your connectivity as part of our initial evaluation and can recommend improvements if needed.
