The first wave of adoption for Microsoft Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) focused on relatively straightforward use cases — call centers, temporary remote work during pandemic lockdowns, offshore development teams, and environments with only a few applications.
Those projects proved cloud-hosted Windows desktops could work.
Now the next wave is arriving: knowledge workers at enterprise scale.
Organizations are moving larger groups of users into AVD and Windows 365 environments that require far more complexity — hundreds of applications, persistent user settings, strong security requirements, performance optimization, and seamless support experiences.
This is where the surrounding ecosystem becomes critical.
Liquidware has partnered alongside Microsoft to help organizations operationalize modern Windows workspaces across physical PCs, virtual desktops, DaaS, and cloud PCs. Liquidware solutions are also available directly through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, simplifying procurement and helping organizations align cloud workspace initiatives with existing Azure investments.
The best time to engage Liquidware is early in the process.
Liquidware helps organizations simplify and optimize enterprise AVD and Windows 365 deployments with four core solutions:
- Stratusphere UX helps organizations assess existing environments before migration begins. IT teams gain visibility into application usage, login performance, resource consumption, and user behavior to make smarter sizing recommendations for AVD and Windows 365. Organizations can also compare before-and-after migration metrics and continuously optimize cloud desktop performance and Azure costs over time.
- ProfileUnity helps deliver a consistent user experience across physical PCs, AVD, Windows 365, and hybrid environments. User personalization, policies, and settings follow users seamlessly, reducing migration disruption and easing the administrative workload during large-scale transitions.
- FlexApp provides a modern application delivery solution for organizations moving beyond aging technologies like Microsoft App-V as it approaches end of life. Using dynamic container-based application delivery, FlexApp helps organizations reduce image sprawl, simplify application management, and rapidly deliver applications across AVD, Windows 365, physical PCs, and other Windows workspace environments. Its broad compatibility allows enterprises to modernize application strategies without forcing costly application repackaging or redevelopment efforts.
- CommandCTRL provides real-time monitoring and remediation capabilities that help support teams troubleshoot issues quickly and improve help desk responsiveness for cloud-hosted Windows environments, especially for business-critical knowledge workers and VIP users.
The easy use cases for AVD and Windows 365 came first.
Now enterprises are onboarding knowledge workers en masse — and success increasingly depends on delivering not just cloud desktops, but fully optimized Windows workspaces designed for scale, performance, and user experience. Learn more.
