Windows Virtual Desktop is the perfect tool for facilitating remote work. It allows for easy remote access whenever you need it.<\/h2>\n
\n

Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is a desktop as a service (DaaS) offering that provides remote access to modern desktop applications from any device, anywhere, and at any time.<\/p>\n

This fact makes it a digital workplace<\/a> transformation tool perfect for companies who offer remote work options to employees, as it allows them to work safely from home with the same desktop experience they have in the office, and without multiple logins to various apps.<\/p>\n

However, that is just the beginning.<\/p>\n

In this blog post \u2014 the first of a series on WVD \u2014 we’ll explain why the WVD and remote workplace environment will grow exponentially in the coming years, and we’ll explore WVD’s capabilities and benefits. In future posts, we’ll show how you can safely take advantage of this new technology.<\/p>\n

Why WVD \u2014 and Why Now?<\/h2>\n

High-performing remote teams are the secret sauce for many of today’s successful organizations. Companies accomplish more than 60 percent of the work they do today through some sort of remote collaboration tool.<\/strong>\u00a0In 2022, the DaaS market was valued at approximately $4.9 billion, and was expected to reach $6.2 billion in 2023 and $18.7 billion by 2032, according to a recent market research study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic, WVD has multiple use cases for all organizations, regardless of size or industry. WVD can help you:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Build a temporary workforce<\/strong>: Scale up or down quickly to accommodate temporary workers and contractors needed for tax season, seasonal hiring or other short-term needs.<\/li>\n
  2. Expand your workforce<\/strong>: Instantly provision desktops in new territories or even countries without the time and complexity of setting up local IT resources.<\/li>\n
  3. Run a business 24\/7:<\/strong> Keep your business always-on with modern tools for collaboration, productivity and communications.<\/li>\n
  4. Merge and acquire for growth:<\/strong> Transition securely to new organizational structures by giving everyone equal access to shared company resources.<\/li>\n
  5. Control IT expenses: <\/strong>Only use what you need with cloud-based tools that don’t require unnecessary hardware or software.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Fortunately, if you are a Microsoft<\/a> shop, you probably already have WVD included in your existing licenses. It allows you to only pay for compute, storage, and network consumption, leaving room to enjoy its many benefits at a price that’s lower than you might think.<\/p>\n

    WVD’s Benefits<\/h2>\n

    While all DaaS tools have multiple benefits, WVD offers a broad range of advantages. Let’s break them down into six categories: quick and cost-effective deployments, simplicity, managed services, high performance, security and compliance.<\/strong><\/p>\n
