What is Azure Virtual Desktop?

Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly Windows Virtual Desktop) is Microsoft’s cloud-based VDI and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution that delivers Windows desktops and applications from Azure to any device globally. AVD is the only service that provides multi-session Windows 10/11 and offers free Extended Security Updates for Windows 7, making it an extremely cost-effective VDI solution for organisations already using Microsoft 365.

AVD Cost in India — What to Expect

Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure costs in India typically range from ₹1,200 to ₹3,500 per user per month depending on VM size, storage, and usage patterns. With multi-session Windows 11, costs can be significantly lower than traditional VDI. Organisations with Microsoft 365 E3/E5 licences can deploy AVD at no additional OS licensing cost. Virajo AutoSoft provides a detailed TCO analysis to help you understand your investment before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions – Azure Virtual Desktop India

Q: How is AVD different from Citrix or VMware Horizon?
AVD is a Microsoft-native cloud VDI that integrates tightly with Microsoft 365 and Azure. It offers multi-session Windows 11 (unique to AVD), is managed via Azure portal, and is typically more cost-effective for Microsoft 365 users. Citrix and VMware offer more advanced management features and better performance tuning for complex enterprise environments.

Q: Does AVD require Azure in India?
You can use Azure’s India regions (Central India – Pune, South India – Chennai) for low-latency AVD deployments. This ensures your data stays within India for compliance with CERT-In and RBI guidelines.

Q: Can we migrate from Citrix to AVD?
Yes. Virajo AutoSoft has expertise in migrating from Citrix CVAD and Citrix Cloud to Azure Virtual Desktop. We handle application compatibility, profile migration, and user transition with minimal disruption.

Q: What are the prerequisites for AVD deployment?
You need an Azure subscription, Azure Active Directory (or hybrid AD with Azure AD Connect), and valid Windows licences (Microsoft 365 E3/E5, Windows 10/11 E3/E5, or RDS CALs). Virajo AutoSoft handles the entire setup including licensing guidance.
