Why use Windows Virtual Desktop?

WVD is a good fit for customers who need to support a flexible or remote workforce.
In 2020, the number of people working remote grew from 7% to 66%.

Built-in security makes WVD the go-to-choice for those who work in heavily regulated industries like healthcare, government, and financial services.

" Windows Virtual Desktop provides more flexibility for the agency, more availability in case of disaster recovery, and security capabilities like encryption all the way down to the kernel, that we couldn’t get from other solutions. "

It’s also great for customers who want to replace their expensive virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), provide a better virtualized experience than their existing remote desktop solution (RDS) provides, or want to upgrade their Citrix or VMWare architecture.
