Overview
Azure Cloud PC is our Windows virtual desktop environment and can be accessed from any device anywhere, on or off of our network. They can be used for several use cases, including:
- A quick replacement machine for end-users when their primary device fails or is in need of repair (they can connect to it from a personal device or mobile phone/tablet)
- A primary device for short-term contractors, or users who simply need to access email and use cloud-based applications to do their jobs
- A great solution for the users where we don't support sending physical machines
