Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop · Pennsylvania

Your Desktop Follows You,
Securely, Anywhere.

IntermixIT designs and manages Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop for businesses across Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and Central Pennsylvania, delivering secure, high-performance desktops your team can reach from any device, proven with a proof of concept before you commit.

  • Work from any device without a clunky VPN
  • Prove it first with a proof of concept
  • Keep data in the cloud, not on lost laptops
  • Scale desktops up and down as you hire

Your VPN Was Never Built for This

Remote work on aging VPNs means slow files, security gaps, and laptops full of company data. Every one of those laptops is a device that can leave the building with your client files still on it. Azure Virtual Desktop keeps the desktop in the cloud and streams it securely to any screen, and IntermixIT designs, proves, and manages the whole environment.

FAQ

Azure Virtual Desktop Questions, Answered

Straight answers about what AVD is, what it costs, and why we prove it first.

What is Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop?

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) hosts your team’s desktops and applications in the Microsoft cloud and streams them securely to any device, anywhere.

Your people get the same desktop at the office, at home, and on the road, while your data stays in Azure instead of scattered across laptops. Firms in architecture, legal, accounting, and professional services benefit most.

Do you offer a proof of concept before deployment?

Yes. Every AVD engagement starts with a proof of concept in your environment, with your real applications and users.

You see performance, user experience, and costs before committing to a full rollout. If AVD is not the right fit, the proof of concept tells you that too, before you have spent real money.

How much does Azure Virtual Desktop cost?

AVD pricing has two parts: Azure consumption and management. We right-size both and auto-scale, so you never pay for idle desktops.

Costs depend on user count, workloads, and hours of use. During your Discovery Session we model your actual usage against the proof of concept and recommend a plan with clear, predictable pricing.

Can you work with our internal IT team?

Yes. Co-managed AVD gives your internal team enterprise virtual desktop infrastructure with our engineering depth behind it.

Many internal teams keep user administration and hand IntermixIT the environment design, image management, security configuration, and 24/7 monitoring. Your team stays in charge; we keep the desktops fast and secure.

How quickly do you respond to support requests?

Our average response time is 15 minutes, and most issues are resolved remotely.

When hands-on help is needed, our technicians, who are all IntermixIT employees, serve businesses throughout Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Carlisle, and Central Pennsylvania.

Can you migrate our existing systems to Azure Virtual Desktop?

Yes. We migrate from on-premise servers, aging remote desktop environments, and VPN-based setups with minimal disruption.

Migrations are staged behind the proof of concept: environments are built and tested before cutover, and users move in waves with support standing by. Most teams notice the speed, not the switch.

What is not included in AVD agreements?

Design, deployment, monitoring, security, and cost optimization of your covered environment are all included. Larger one-time efforts are scoped separately as projects.

Efforts such as custom application refactoring, third-party software licensing, and large data-center exits are quoted as defined projects with clear pricing approved before work begins, so there are never surprise invoices.

Can you help with compliance and cyber insurance requirements?

Yes. Centralizing desktops in Azure makes many compliance requirements easier: data stays in the cloud, access is identity-controlled, and everything is logged.

IntermixIT aligns your environment with HIPAA and PCI expectations and provides the documentation to prove it. From healthcare practices to accounting, law, architecture, and engineering firms, compliance support is built in.
