In other words, a virtual desktop can be configured to begin every session in a pristine state, or it can be set to maintain user state data from one session to the next, thereby acting as a personal virtual desktop. The choice over whether an organization should use virtual desktops or remote desktops largely depends upon the organization’s. Windows Virtual Desktop Secure Remote Access to Any Device Boost employee productivity and enable your remote workforce As the digital landscape of businesses continues to shift, companies have developed an immediate need to enable their employees to work remotely from anywhere, on any device. You can deploy a full desktop, remote apps, or both and also scale up or scale down as needed, and you pay only as per usage. You can assign multiple users to a single VM using a client OS, not a server OS. Windows Virtual desktop uniquely breaks away from the one user per VM and delivers the only Windows 10 multi-session experience. To support your efforts, Windows Virtual Desktop provides reverse connect technology and FSLogix profile containers. Reverse connect significantly reduces the attack surface area by letting you run a virtual machine (VM) without keeping any inbound ports open.
You can access Windows Virtual Desktop resources on devices with Windows 10, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and Windows 7 using the Windows Desktop client.
