TD SYNNEX has announced a new managed virtual desktop Click-to-Run solution for businesses looking to offer remote desktop capabilities. The solution deploys an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment hosted in Microsoft Azure that allows users to access their desktops and applications from anywhere, on any kind of device.

"Many organizations don't have the time or resources to commit to building or deploying full-scale IT infrastructure for new or remote employees, and a virtual desktop solution can help to deliver the flexibility, scalability and cost efficiency businesses need," said Peter Zonneveld, vice president of global solutions aggregation, TD SYNNEX. "The addition of new managed features to Azure's Virtual Desktop reduces setup time and allows for easy-to-use services that help customers access their work applications and infrastructure from anywhere in the world."

TD SYNNEX's Managed Azure virtual desktop solution simplifies the process of provisioning, configuring, and deploying a cloud-based virtual desktop, with mapped-out support to meet customer needs for virtual working. The new offering has two options for deployment:

• A standalone feature that provides a quick deployment for partners that already offer managed services and need a quick AVD environment setup. Partners can easily customize the size and scope of the desired AVD environment and deploy this offering in less than 30 minutes.
• A managed feature which provides the quick AVD environment setup listed above plus comprehensive 24/7 support and management provided via email, phone and chat; performance monitoring and backup to restore support, efficiently and automatically managed environments while identifying and completing required backup of recurring tasks on AVD; and white-labeled service options including implementation, onboarding, resource monitoring, remediation and patch management services.

"TD SYNNEX recognizes delivering secure cloud-based virtual desktop solutions is essential to ensuring customer productivity while mitigating risks," said Stephen Ennis, vice president of services and advanced solutions, Europe, Tech Data. "By adding a services component to these solutions, we are helping partners go to market more effectively, faster and even more profitably. The Azure Virtual Desktop Click-to-Run offering provides a fully managed solution that teams can quickly set up and scale to virtualized infrastructures, while providing a new revenue stream and portfolio enhancer."

To provision and deploy this and other preconfigured Click-to-Run solutions, customers can find them on the StreamOne platform and these solutions are available globally.
