Azure Virtual Desktop
Your desktops shouldn't be the reason your workforce can't work from anywhere.
Aging terminal servers. Legacy VDI that costs more to maintain than replace. Rightworks bills that climb faster than the value they deliver. Users tied to a specific machine in a specific building. If any of that describes your current desktop environment, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is worth thirty minutes of your time.
We design, deploy, and operate AVD for organizations that need secure Windows desktops from anywhere, on any device, supported by senior architects, 24/7 operations, and our standing as a Microsoft Solutions Partner.
Two ways to move to Azure
Scenario one
DQ Managed Azure
Your production workloads run on Azure, fully managed by us. We migrate, host, and operate your line-of-business applications, databases, and file services, owning the platform so your team can stay focused on the business. That management covers the full stack, from architecture to day-to-day operations:
- Azure landing zone design (hub-and-spoke, identity, governance)
- VM, SQL, and storage migration with minimal downtime
- Backup, disaster recovery, and 99.9% availability targets
- 24/7 monitoring, patching, and incident response
- Reserved-instance optimization and monthly cost reviews
- Entra ID integration, MFA, and Conditional Access
Scenario two
DQ Managed Azure + AVD
Includes everything in DQ Managed Azure, plus secure virtual desktops for every user. AVD replaces aging on-prem terminal servers and legacy VDI with a Microsoft-native, multisession platform that we architect, tune, and run end to end. Here's what's included:
- Multisession Windows 11 Enterprise host pool design
- FSLogix profile management and application masking
- Custom golden image build with life cycle management
- RemoteApp or full desktop delivery, by user and role
- MFA, Conditional Access, and endpoint security integration
- Auto-scale, session optimization, and ongoing performance tuning
Why Azure Virtual Desktop matters
AVD’s impact looks a little different depending on where you sit in the organization:
For Business Leaders
- Predictable monthly OpEx instead of capital refresh cycles
- Workforce flexibility for hybrid, remote, and M&A growth
- Stronger security posture without expanding IT headcount
- One accountable partner for cloud, desktops, and support
For IT Leadership
- Senior Azure architects, not generalist support staff
- Mature runbooks across identity, networking, security, and backup
- FSLogix, image management, and profile expertise in-house
- 24/7 network operations center (NOC) and security operations center (SOC)
Why the move is worth it, in numbers
Forrester interviewed organizations that migrated from on-prem RDS or VDI to AVD and measured the operational impact:
75% reduction in end-user onboarding time
New hires and desktop replacements get up and running in a fraction of the time it used to take.
70% reduction in help desk tickets
Fewer disruptions for end users, and fewer hours spent by IT chasing routine desktop issues.
50% reduction in IT time spent on deployment, security, and patching
Free your team to focus on projects that actually move the business forward instead of desktop upkeep.
