Migrating from Remote Desktop Services to Azure Virtual Desktop brings major advantages for both cost and management. Traditional RDS setups require multiple separate licences, including Server OS and Office versions compatible with RDS. With Microsoft 365 Business Premium, you already have access to Azure Virtual Desktop, meaning you can consolidate those costs and simplify your setup.

AVD also runs on a version of Windows built specifically for virtual environments, removing many of the compatibility and performance issues seen in RDS. Perhaps the biggest benefit is shared management. Microsoft takes care of the infrastructure, gateways, and diagnostics, leaving you to focus only on connectivity and data. It is a smarter, simpler, and more scalable approach to virtual desktops.
