Key Features

Seamless Integration with Microsoft Cloud Services

AVD integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft services, allowing you to maintain productivity tools, data, and settings across devices. This means you can access your Microsoft 365 Apps, such as Word, Excel, and Teams, directly from your virtual desktop.

Secure and Scalable

AVD provides built-in intelligent security and compliance features, ensuring your data is protected while reducing the complexity of managing your IT environment. It also scales easily, allowing you to quickly adjust capacity to meet changing demand.

Streamlined Management of virtual desktops

AVD allows us to quickly manage and support virtual desktop users. We have AVD integrated analytics and monitoring software that helps us identify and troubleshoot issues and performance to quickly address concerns.

Why Choose Azure Virtual Desktop?

When compared to other virtual desktop solutions, AVD stands out for its deep integration with Microsoft services, robust security features, and the flexibility to scale on demand. With the added value provided by SafariDesktops, including expert setup, optimization, and management, AVD becomes an even more compelling choice for businesses seeking to streamline their IT operations and enable flexible, secure remote work.

Where do the virtual desktops live?

In YOUR Microsoft Azure tenant. We add a standalone Azure subscription into your Microsoft 365/Azure tenant where we plug in our tools and build your Azure Virtual Desktop environment inside your tenant, not hosted in a 3rd party location, but inside your Microsoft tenant. What happens if you don’t want it anymore? Then we simply delete our standalone azure subscription and all of the components built on it – all of it cleanly goes away without any mess or left over charges to you.

Couldn’t I just build and manage it myself?

Indeed, you could opt to build your own Azure Virtual Desktop environment.
However, it’s important to consider the significant time, effort, and specialized knowledge required to do so effectively and affordably. Building an AVD environment involves not just initial setup, but also ongoing management, optimization, and troubleshooting – all of which demand a deep understanding of the Azure platform and Azure Virtual Desktops.

By leveraging our SafariDesktops AVD service, you benefit from our team of Microsoft Certified Azure Engineers, led by Microsoft MVP for Azure Jeremy Wallace, who have extensive experience and expertise in building, managing, and optimizing AVD environments. Our team has been working with AVD since before its public release, and over the years have developed and utilized custom scripts, automation tools, and optimization strategies that ensure you get the most out of your AVD investment. For those reasons we believe we can often build it better, faster, and more affordably than you could yourself.

Furthermore, we offer a straightforward per-user-per-month pricing model, making our services both affordable and predictable. What this means is you don’t have to carry the risk of building something wrong and potentially having lots of unexpected cloud computing costs. Your cost is only the per-user-per-month agreed upon pricing, and its our job to make sure the cloud costs incurred for that environment line up with that. This allows you to focus on your core business, knowing that your AVD environment is in expert hands. Therefore, while building your own AVD environment is certainly possible, utilizing Safari Micro’s SafariDesktops AVD as service is the smart, cost-effective choice for most businesses.
