Azure Virtual Desktop
Virtual desktops, Modernised.
Productivity, Unleashed.
Azure Virtual Desktop represents the evolution of enterprise VDI, delivering cloud-native virtual desktop infrastructure that scales dynamically while integrating seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and enterprise identity systems.
At Cordant, we deploy and optimise Azure Virtual Desktop solutions that enable secure remote work, enhance user productivity, and reduce infrastructure overhead through intelligent cloud-based virtual desktop delivery.
We cut through AVD complexity, delivering scalable virtual desktop solutions that adapt to modern workforce requirements.
Our Azure Virtual Desktop services provide comprehensive deployment, optimisation, and management capabilities that transform how organisations deliver desktop experiences to distributed workforces while maintaining security and compliance.
AVD Infrastructure Deployment & Architecture
Deploy enterprise-grade Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) infrastructure with optimal configuration for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. Our AVD deployment services establish robust virtual desktop environments that support diverse user requirements while leveraging Azure cloud capabilities for dynamic scaling and global accessibility.
Our AVD infrastructure deployment includes:
- End-to-end design and deployment of a scalable and resilient AVD host pools aligned to your business requirements.
- Guidance on selecting the most effective delivery model. RemoteApp for streamlined access to specific applications, or full desktop experiences for broader productivity needs. Ensuring the right balance of usability, security, and cost.
- Secure identity and access integration with Entra ID, including conditional access policies and MFA for access control.
- Optimised network and connectivity design with Azure ExpressRoute and VPN integration to ensure low latency and reliable user experiences.
- Seamless user experience through FSLogix, Azure Files, and tailored storage strategies for profiles and application data.
- Proactive insights using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics for visibility, troubleshooting, and optimisation of AVD workloads.

FSLogix Profile Management & User Experience Optimisation
When deploying pooled Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environments, profile management becomes the cornerstone of user experience. Inefficient or poorly designed profile solutions can lead to long logon times, inconsistent settings between sessions, application errors, and degraded overall performance.
Our FSLogix implementation covers:
- Design and deployment of the optimal storage backend for FSLogix profiles, selecting from options such as Azure Files, or Azure NetApp Files based on workload demands, performance requirements, and cost considerations.
- Built-in high availability and elastic scaling to handle fluctuating user demand, reducing session bottlenecks.
- Profiles managed in line with organisational security policies, with support for data retention, compliance, and conditional access integration.

MSIX App Attach & Application Delivery
Traditional application deployment models often lead to bloated images, complex patch cycles, and lengthy update processes. MSIX app attach modernises application delivery by decoupling apps from the base image, enabling dynamic, on-demand assignment without compromising performance or user experience.
Our MSIX app attach implementation includes:
- Evaluating existing applications for MSIX suitability, providing remediation strategies, and converting compatible apps for streamlined deployment.
- Creation of MSIX packages and app attach containers to enable flexible, dynamic application delivery without embedding apps into desktop images.
- Integrating with Entra ID groups to deliver applications based on user roles, departments, or security policies, ensuring the right apps reach the right users.
- Designing strategies for updates, patching, and version control, reducing the time and risk associated with maintaining multiple golden images.
- Supporting non-MSIX-compatible applications through hybrid delivery models, ensuring business-critical apps remain accessible.
