Whether your company offers work from home as a perk or uses it as the norm for business, device management enables organizations to protect and secure resources and data on different devices. Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is the best solution for organizations considering providing access to company applications remotely and securely. It not only provides a local Windows 10 experience for end users but also brings great cost saving via multi-session deployment. The Windows Virtual Desktop end user experience is top of the market.

Device endpoint management is the process of managing the implementation, operation and maintenance of a physical and/or virtual device. It is a broad term that includes various administrative tools and processes for the maintenance and upkeep of a computing, network, mobile and/or virtual device. Endpoint management generally includes installing device and component-level drivers and related software, configuring a device so it performs as expected using the bundled operating system, business/workflow software and/or with other hardware devices, and implementing security measures and processes. Devices typically refer to physical/hardware devices such as computers, laptops, servers, mobile phones, tablets and more.

Windows Virtual Desktop is a desktop and app virtualization service that runs on Microsoft Azure that allows end users to connect securely to a full desktop from any device. Microsoft Intune takes it a step further by securing and managing your WVD VMs with policy and apps at scale once they’re enrolled. Microsoft WVD comes with Intune to support a diverse mobile environment, managing IOS and android devices for phones and tablets, as well as Windows PCs and MAC laptops and desktops. When it comes to managing mobile devices, Intune focuses on mobile application management (MAM) and mobile device management (MDM). You can control how your organization’s devices are used and configure specific policies to control apps that host company data.

IT managers, CIOs and CISOs want to get out of the business of managing devices and software patches to simply focus on the outcomes. The traditional Windows deployment includes building a custom image, gathering all that is necessary to deploy, and then deploying the image to a new computer, overwriting original content. This means time and money, making this a very expensive and painful proposition. Modern Windows deployment means un-box and turn on-off-shelf Windows PC and transform with minimal user interaction for productive use. Windows Autopilot simplifies device enrollment without the need to build or maintain custom operation system images.
