Azure Virtual Desktop offers a more cost-efficient approach to virtualisation through multi-session capabilities. This allows multiple users to share resources, reducing the number of virtual machines required while maintaining performance. It is ideal for call centres and office environments where not every user needs a dedicated machine, cutting costs significantly.

Each virtual machine connects to secure storage accounts where data is held, as temporary machine storage is cleared once turned off. AVD users can access either full desktop environments through desktop application groups or specific programmes through remote apps, giving organisations complete flexibility in how employees access tools, files, and applications.
