AVD Foundation
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) sounds great – but setting it up and running it is complicated? With our AVD Foundation, it becomes child's play. Simple, efficient, and tailored to your needs. Plug & Play for the cloud – get started instead of tinkering for a long time!
Imagine you save not only time but also costs with every virtual workplace – and your colleagues love the user-friendliness. Sounds like a dream? With Azure Virtual Desktop, it becomes reality, but only if the environment is set up cleanly. That's exactly why we developed the AVD Foundation. We take care of the entire setup and operation – so you can focus on what matters.
Benefits of the AVD Foundation
Don't feel like reading so much text? Our Cloud Architects Peter and Timo present all the key facts of the AVD Foundation in our webcast (in German with subtitles).

Our path to your AVD Foundation
- WorkshopWorkshopWe start with a workshop to define all relevant parameters for the introduction of the AVD Foundation. This includes workloads, security requirements, and scaling options – all based on proven best practices.
- DeploymentDeploymentWith our Infrastructure-as-Code approach, based on Terraform, we implement the AVD Foundation efficiently and standardized. Terraform enables consistent deployment of all Azure components, based on Microsoft best practices.
- Training & HandoverTraining & HandoverAfter deployment, we train your team on the standard processes and best practices of the AVD Foundation. The goal is to ensure smooth usage and management.
- Managed Service OnboardingManaged Service OnboardingAfter implementation, we take over the operation and optimization of your AVD environment. With our managed service, we ensure that your environment is always up to date – without additional effort for your team.
