Explain the concept of Windows virtual Desktop.
Why would the user need more
than one desktop? What are the key functionalities of Windows virtual Desktop?
What is a virtual desktop?
A virtual desktop is a software emulation of a hardware device that runs on a physical or
virtual machine at a remote location, hosted either on premises or in the cloud. Virtual desktops
—such as Azure Virtual Desktop—enable end users to access their unique desktop
environments remotely over a network. This can include operating systems and applications,
which are accessed through client software or a web browser on the endpoint devices of their
choice. Microsoft's Windows Virtual Desktop technology enables one machine (a server) to run
many instances of Windows 10 concurrently. The purpose of this virtual desktop computing
architecture is to replace our daily use of powerful computers with "dumb terminals" that
connect to our Windows 10 cloud.
Why would the user need more than one desktop?
When you have several desktops, you may divide the open windows into various groups
so that you can concentrate on one group at a time. With a separate desktop for each project,
this makes juggling many tasks at once much simpler. When you have several desktops, you

Cheaper hardware replacement costs:
The goal of virtual desktops is to make conventional computing more scalable, efficient,
and cost-effective while improving workload management. Organizations and the academic
community are increasingly embracing virtual desktops due to its capacity to provide a
decrease in investment outlays and operational expenses. consider the following advantages of
a virtual desktop for your company as you give it some thought:
Work remotely safely and effectively on any device
increased adherence (i.e., via data encryption)
lower licensing and infrastructure costs
Protection from disruptions and reduced downtime to increase productivity
IT administration made easier
enhancing the security of important application and user data
What is a virtual desktop?
In virtual desktops, the desktop environment is segregated from the physical device
being used to access it. They are preloaded images of operating systems and apps. Over a
network, users may remotely view their virtual desktops. A virtual desktop may be accessed
from any endpoint device, including a laptop, smartphone, or tablet. The user interacts with the
client software that was installed on the endpoint device by the virtual desktop provider. A
virtual desktop is also software simulation of a hardware device that operates on a real or
virtual system at a distant location and is hosted either on-site or in the cloud. End users may
access their own desktop environments remotely across a network thanks to virtual desktops
like Azure Virtual Desktop. In a sense, virtual desktops are exact replicas of real computers.

Users may utilize and access their virtual desktop from any place and any internet-connected
device. A virtual desktop has the appearance and feel of a computer, but it is entirely controlled
by the management organization and is handled by a server.
