Simform has earned Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop AVD specialization after meeting Microsoft performance and skilling requirements and passing third-party audit. It recognizes partners that have demonstrated deep expertise in deploying optimizing and securing virtual desktop infrastructure on Azure. Milestone marks Simform tenth advanced Microsoft specialization reflecting breadth of Microsoft-validated Azure expertise spanning cloud migration enterprise applications networking security and other specialized Azure workloads.
Migrating to Azure Virtual Desktop involves far more than lifting and shifting desktops. Applications identity networking security and operations must be assessed and aligned with target Azure environment or same legacy constraints simply move with them.
Simform addresses those dependencies from outset aligning workspace applications infrastructure and controls under one modernization program. That helps enterprises reduce migration risk accelerate AVD adoption strengthen security and performance and simplify ongoing operations with one accountable partner across environment.
Simform focuses on three areas that have direct impact on AVD after going live architecture and scalability host pools identity and networking designed against Azure Well-Architected Framework and adjusted as workforce needs change security and access least-privilege access and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint extend Azure security controls into desktop environment cost and reliability Simform 24x7 managed services support AVD environment while SimOps proprietary cloud management platform tracks Azure consumption and compute costs that drive it.
For one financial services client Simform replaced hosted Citrix XenApp environment with AVD while rebuilding Azure foundation around it. New setup strengthened identity and access controls isolated desktop environment through private networking centralized security monitoring and added cross-region recovery. Simform also provisioned infrastructure entirely through Terraform with zero manual portal deployments. Result was retirement of Citrix and legacy hosting dependency with centralized security monitoring cross-region recovery and fully repeatable infrastructure deployment through Terraform.
Extending Microsoft-validated expertise across Azure specialization adds Azure Virtual Desktop to Simform Microsoft-validated Azure capabilities and strengthens ability to support Microsoft-led opportunities where workspace modernization is part of larger Azure program.
Earning this specialization gives customers another independent measure of engineering rigor behind our Azure practice. AVD rarely operates in isolation. Its success depends on applications identity networking security and operations around it. Approach AVD modernization as part of wider Azure environment so dependencies addressed as part of program rather than after desktop migration.
