Mycelium 365

    Managed Azure Virtual Desktop

    Managed Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud-hosted desktop service — Mycelium 365 deploys, secures, and operates Azure Virtual Desktop for Australian organisations so staff access a consistent, compliant Windows environment from anywhere.

    Secure, scalable, and seamless virtual workspaces—anywhere, anytime. Empower your workforce with cloud-based desktops.

    Azure Virtual Desktop is Microsoft's cloud-native answer to Citrix and VMware Horizon — multi-session Windows 10/11 desktops running in Azure, accessible from any device, with consumption-based pricing instead of perpetual licensing. For Australian organisations it's especially powerful because session hosts run in the Australia East and Australia Southeast regions, keeping data sovereignty intact while removing the on-prem hardware refresh cycle entirely. Mycelium 365 designs, deploys and continuously tunes AVD — image lifecycle, FSLogix profiles, autoscaling, Conditional Access — so you get the cost profile and user experience the platform is actually capable of.

    Who this is for

    Built for Australian businesses with hybrid or remote workforces, BYOD-heavy environments, organisations replacing aging Citrix or VMware Horizon platforms, regulated industries needing centralised data with strict access controls, and any business with a critical line-of-business app that doesn't perform well over VPN. Particularly relevant if you're sizing a Windows 365 vs AVD decision and want help choosing the right model per user persona.

    AVD Design & Deployment

    Landing-zone design, host-pool architecture, image build (Windows 10/11 multi-session with your apps baked in), and rollout. Configured for the right session density per VM size so you get the cost profile you signed up for, not a surprise bill.

    FSLogix Profile Management

    FSLogix profile containers so users get a consistent desktop, OneDrive, Outlook cache and Teams cache across every session, with Azure Files (or ANF) backing storage sized and tiered correctly. Roaming profiles done properly — none of the slow-logon pain of old RDS environments.

    Security & Access Control

    Entra ID join for session hosts, Conditional Access tied to device compliance, MFA enforced on every connection, Defender for Endpoint on every host, screen-capture and clipboard controls where data sensitivity demands it. The AVD edge becomes a hardened, monitored perimeter.

    Autoscaling & Cost Control

    Scaling plans tuned to your actual working hours, off-peak shutdown of unused hosts, right-sized VMs reviewed monthly, and Reserved Instances applied to the always-on baseline. This is where the real AVD savings live — most environments we take over are running 40–60% more compute than they need.

    Monitoring, Patching & Reporting

    Session-host monitoring, image refresh on a regular cadence, patching aligned to your change windows, backup of FSLogix profiles, and a monthly report covering utilisation, cost, security and user experience. We tell you what's slow, what's expensive, and what we're doing about both.

    BYOD & Multi-Device Access

    Native clients for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and any modern browser, with no corporate data leaving Azure. Combined with Conditional Access, this is the cleanest BYOD model available — your data stays in the data centre and only screen pixels reach the device.

    BYOD Organisations — Corporate data stays in Azure, never on personal devices
