Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) was first announced in September 2018 at Microsoft Ignite, and with a private preview signup being available it certainly created a massive amount of hype in the techie community. Sometime on now and it’s much clearer on how this Microsoft Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solution can best be used, but is it for everyone?

IT leaders, are constantly anticipating and responding to the evolving technology needs of organisations, and working within changing budgets the pressure is on to ensure that the IT provision remains agile and fit for purpose.

For sure WVD delivers many benefits from security with its sophisticated security services being easily configured through Azure AD, easy administration with granular role-based access control (RBAC), and not forgetting the organisational CAPEX cost savings, but you might still be wondering if it’s the right strategic approach for your organisation.
