Azure Virtual Desktop — Secure Remote Work for Every Employee
Multi-session Windows 11, any device, anywhere. Seepath designs, deploys, and manages AVD so your team works securely from any location.
As a Microsoft Direct CSP partner since 2014, we handle licensing, deployment, and day-2 operations — no surprise bills, no complexity.
Azure Lighthouse Managed
Traditional VDI Is Killing Your IT Budget
Legacy VDI solutions lock you into expensive licensing, costly refresh cycles, and rigid architectures. AVD solves all three.
Citrix/VMware Licensing 3–5x More Expensive
Per-user perpetual or subscription models add up fast. AVD uses existing Microsoft 365 licenses you already own.
Expensive Refresh Cycles Every 3–5 Years
On-prem VDI requires hardware refreshes, complex migrations, and downtime. AVD scales with software — no hardware costs.
Can't Scale for Hybrid Teams Quickly
Legacy VDI is rigid — adding users takes weeks. AVD auto-scales in minutes to support remote workforce growth.
AVD That Works the Way Your Business Does
Four outcomes our clients depend on — backed by architect-level Azure expertise and 10+ years as a Direct Microsoft CSP.
Any Device, Any Location
Full Windows 11 desktop on Mac, iPad, Chromebook, thin client — no VPN, native authentication, and seamless experience.
- Multi-session Windows 11 — multiple users on one VM to reduce Azure costs
- FSLogix profile containers on Azure Files — fast logon, roaming profiles across devices
- Microsoft 365 apps pre-installed — Teams, Office, Outlook, everything your team needs
Cost Optimisation vs Legacy VDI
Save 40–70% vs Citrix/VMware — through licensing, auto-scaling, and reserved instance pricing for predictable workloads.
- Azure Hybrid Benefit (AHUB) on eligible Windows licences — 40%+ VM cost reduction via Direct CSP
- Auto-scale down outside business hours — spin down session hosts when users aren't working
- Reserved Instance pricing for predictable workloads — lock in discount rates for baseline capacity
Enterprise Security Built In
Zero-trust, MFA, Conditional Access, and no data left on the device — perfect for regulated industries and sensitive data.
- Conditional Access + Entra ID P1 — block access from non-compliant devices, enforce MFA
- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (optional) — real-time threat detection on all sessions
- No data leaves Azure — perfect for HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and NIST compliance
Fully Managed by Seepath
Day-2 operations, patching, scaling, monitoring — so your IT team focuses on business instead of infrastructure tickets.
- Azure Lighthouse delegated management — we manage your AVD environment as if it were ours
- Automated session host scaling — Azure Autoscale rules keep costs optimised 24/7
- 24/7 monitoring via Azure Monitor — proactive alerts, incident response, and health reporting
Your Employees Work from Anywhere. Your Data Stays in Azure.
AVD isn't just a desktop in the cloud — it's a zero-trust architecture where identity, compliance, and security are first-class features. Seepath ensures all three work seamlessly together, so your team stays productive and your data stays protected.

AVD vs Citrix vs VMware Horizon
Why thousands of organizations are switching from Citrix and VMware to AVD — cost, cloud-native architecture, and zero management overhead.
Citrix DaaS
Cloud-hosted Citrix- Expensive per-user licensing — $10–15/user/month typical
- Complex administration — Citrix-specific expertise required
- Slower feature updates — lags Microsoft's release cadence
- Limited Microsoft 365 integration
- Vendor lock-in — difficult to migrate away
VMware Horizon
Broadcom post-acquisition- Broadcom price hikes — licensing costs skyrocketing post-acquisition
- Perpetual licensing model — expensive refresh cycles
- Separate management plane — adds complexity and cost
- Hybrid cloud options limited
- Poor Microsoft ecosystem integration
Seepath AVD
Azure-native, Direct CSP managed- Azure-native — built into Azure, no separate licensing
- Use existing M365 licenses — no additional per-user costs
- 40–70% cost savings vs Citrix/VMware with AHUB
