Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid: AVD on the Servers You Already Run

Some applications can't simply move to the cloud. They sit beside a database, a file server or a production line, and slow down the moment they're far from it.

Some applications can't simply move to the cloud. They sit beside a database, a file server or a production line, and slow down the moment they're far from it.

Your servers and hypervisors are still earning their keep. You still want desktops run the modern way.

Systech brings Azure Virtual Desktop to the infrastructure you already run.

Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid connects your own servers to Azure through Azure Arc. Desktops and apps run on your hypervisor, right beside the systems they depend on, while Azure brokers every connection.

People connect through Windows App, the same way they reach any Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365 desktop. The desktops stay in your building.

Microsoft runs the service in Azure. The machines on site still need running: patching, capacity and power. That part we can run for you.

We start by measuring your apps and users, then show which desktops belong beside your systems, which belong in Azure, and whether hybrid is right for you at all.

A certified UK team, led by a Microsoft MVP for Azure Virtual Desktop.
