Quick answer
Fasthuma IT Solutions & MSP deploys and manages Azure Virtual Desktop for Bay Area businesses: a secure Windows desktop in Microsoft Azure that staff open from any device, with the company’s apps and data staying in the cloud.
When a virtual desktop helps
Staff who work from home or several locations, contractors who need access to one application, or software that should not live on personal devices: Azure Virtual Desktop keeps the desktop and the data in Azure, and sends only the screen to the user’s device.
