Virtual Desktops
Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 Cloud PC
Not every user needs a physical device managed by Intune. Some scenarios demand a virtual workspace – cloud-hosted, centrally managed, and available from anywhere. Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 Cloud PC deliver secure desktops and applications from Microsoft’s cloud, with enterprise-grade identity, compliance, and security controls built in from day one.
- We handle the full lifecycle from assessment and design through golden image management, patching, and ongoing operations – not just the initial deployment.
- We align virtual desktop security with your broader endpoint and identity strategy, ensuring consistent policies across physical and virtual workspaces.
- We design for cost efficiency with auto-scaling, reserved instances, and the right balance of personal and pooled host pools for your user profiles.
The Problem
When physical devices are not the answer
Remote and external workforce
Contractors, consultants, and temporary staff who need access to corporate applications without the overhead of shipping and recovering physical hardware. AVD and Cloud PC both support secure external access models.
Data sovereignty and residency
Regulated environments where corporate data must never be stored on endpoint devices. AVD keeps data in the cloud, within your chosen Azure region, and nothing is cached locally.
Hardware lifecycle costs
Replacing hardware on a fixed cycle is expensive. Virtual desktop models let you extend the life of existing endpoints while delivering a modern Windows experience from the cloud.
Burst capacity and seasonal scaling
Organisations with fluctuating workforce sizes – seasonal workers, project-based teams, or rapid onboarding scenarios – need desktop capacity that scales up and down without lead time.
Legacy application delivery
Applications that require specific Windows versions, 32-bit environments, or older runtimes can be isolated and delivered through AVD without polluting the modern endpoint estate.
Privileged access from anywhere
AVD can serve as the virtual component of a PAW strategy – delivering isolated admin sessions to privileged users without requiring a dedicated physical device for every tier.
What we can help with
End-to-end virtual desktop delivery - from architecture and golden image management through scaling, security, and ongoing operations.
Assessment & Architecture

- Security baseline enforcement on every image rebuild
Security & Compliance
- Session isolation and data residency controls
- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on session hosts
- Conditional access tied to device and user compliance
Cost Optimisation
- Auto-scaling based on usage patterns and schedules
- Reserved instance and savings plan recommendations
- Personal vs pooled host pool strategy
Ongoing Operations
- Proactive monitoring of session host health
- User experience analytics and performance tuning
- Image lifecycle and application compatibility testing
Our Approach
Our approach won't surprise you. But our sleeves-up attitude might.
1. Discover
Assess the current landscape – devices, apps, identities, security posture – and identify what is managed, what is exposed, and what is at risk.
2. Build & POC
A working proof of concept, fast. Customers are consistently surprised by how quickly we can deliver something real to test.
3. Design & Harden
Refine the architecture together – security baselines, policy structure, application packaging – informed by what the POC revealed.
4. Pilot & Roll out
Controlled pilot with real end users, phased rollout, structured training, complete documentation, and handover so your team owns it.
Security, compliance, and ownership as standard.
Security by design
CIS Level 1 baselines, Defender hardening, conditional access, and zero-trust principles baked into every platform we build.
Compliance & audit readiness
Measurable security posture – tracked continuously against CIS, Microsoft Baselines, or your own frameworks.
Knowledge transfer
Training, runbooks, and structured handover so your team owns and operates the platform independently. That is part of the deliverable, not an afterthought.
