Frequently Asked Questions

What is Azure Virtual Desktop?

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a cloud-based desktop and application virtualization service built on Microsoft Azure. It lets users securely access a full Windows desktop, or individual apps, from any device, anywhere, without IT teams shipping hardware or managing physical machines. For businesses with remote teams, compliance requirements, or specialized workloads, AVD replaces the need for traditional on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure.
Is Microsoft replacing RDP with Azure Virtual Desktop?

Azure Virtual Desktop is Microsoft's modern successor to traditional Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) deployments. Where legacy RDP required on-premises servers, complex network configuration, and constant maintenance, AVD delivers the same remote access experience entirely from the cloud, with built-in security, automatic scaling, and direct integration with Microsoft 365 and Entra ID. Microsoft has been directing new investment toward AVD rather than traditional RDP infrastructure.
How does Azure Virtual Desktop fit into BEMO's broader Azure Managed Services?

AVD is one component within BEMO's Azure Managed Services offering, not a standalone product. Azure Managed covers the full governance of your Azure environment: identity, security posture, cost optimization, monitoring, and compliance. AVD sits inside that structure as the virtual desktop layer. For customers who primarily need secure remote desktops, BEMO offers AVD as a focused add-on. For customers who need end-to-end Azure governance, AVD is part of the larger managed engagement.
What does BEMO's managed Azure Virtual Desktop service include?

BEMO handles the full lifecycle of your AVD environment. That includes architecture reviews, AVD audits, host pool deployment, auto-scaling configuration, role-based access control, Defender for Cloud integration, Cloud Security Posture Management, ongoing monitoring and alerts, and a global dashboard for backup and session health. You also get dedicated Security Engineers and a Customer Success Manager assigned to your account.
Do I need to be on Microsoft 365 to use BEMO's AVD services?
How does BEMO handle security for Azure Virtual Desktop environments?
What industries does BEMO AVD serve?
How does BEMO compare to managing Azure Virtual Desktop in-house?

Managing AVD internally requires deep Azure expertise, 24/7 monitoring, patch management, host pool configuration, and continuous cost optimization. BEMO provides all of this with a dedicated team of Security Engineers, a Customer Success Manager, and a support team, starting at a fraction of the cost of a single in-house hire. For reference, a single in-house cloud or security engineer runs $84K–$132K+ per year, before factoring in 3 months to hire and 3 months to onboard.
