Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) - Virtual Apps


Overview

Virtual Apps are individual applications that HITS provides using Microsoft's Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) technology. AVD Virtual Apps simplify the user experience by providing direct access to specific applications and enterprise websites rather than requiring users to work inside an entire virtual desktop like WVD. This reduces unnecessary steps, makes resources easier to find and launch, and provides a more seamless experience while retaining the security and management benefits of AVD.

Use the Windows App (Windows or Mac) for the best experience or https://virtual.med.umich.edu for incidental use to access the following applications and websites.
