SVA has recently achieved the Advanced Specialization for Windows Virtual Desktop, further expanding its partnership with Microsoft. The specialization certifies in-depth knowledge of Azure Virtual Desktop and includes know-how on topics such as adoption, security, compliance, migration, monitoring and extension with Citrix and VMware technologies.

"With the Advanced Specialization, we join the ranks of the few German Microsoft partners who are able to fully support companies in the implementation of virtual Azure workstation environments," says Stefan Müller, Head of Business Line End-User Computing, pleased with the certification. "In addition, there are many other added values that we can offer our customers to successfully carry out migrations and modernizations in the VDI area." And Thorsten Christoffers, Microsoft partner manager at SVA, adds, "But it's not only the implementation of Azure Virtual Desktop that our experts can help with. We also offer our customers both the option of operational support through our Operational Services and the option of completely outsourcing operations to our SVA Managed Services."
