Azure Virtual Desktop: cloud workstations for teams

· Blog

Since 2022, thousands of Ukrainian companies have shifted to a hybrid work model. Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) offers a full Windows desktop in the cloud, accessible from any device.

How AVD works

Users connect from a laptop, tablet, or thin client. Data stays in the cloud — nothing is stored on the device. If a laptop is lost, confidential information remains protected.

AVD vs Windows 365

AVD — pay-as-you-go, auto-scaling, multi-session. Best for 50+ users. Windows 365 — fixed price, simple as SaaS. Best for small teams with predictable budgets.

How SL Global Service solves this

SGS deploys turnkey AVD environments: FSLogix for profiles, Conditional Access, monitoring. Auto-scaling reduces bills by 40–60% — VMs shut down outside working hours.

“Remote work is already the standard. Companies investing in cloud workstations gain an advantage in hiring talent from any city.”

Mykhailo Vihovskyi, member of the Supervisory Board, Intecracy Group

Cloud workstations are about data security, scalability, and hardware independence.
