Azure Virtual Desktop on ThinPro OS


HP’s ThinPro OS works seamlessly with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)1 to enable protected,
remote work for end users around the world. Deploy AVD to an HP Thin Client running
ThinPro OS to access virtualized desktops and applications at scale.2

Why Azure Virtual Desktop?


Whether out of necessity or as part of an overall
productivity strategy, the modern workforce is
increasingly comprised of remote and mobile
workers. AVD provides an efficient, productive,
and protected desktop and app virtualization
service for your employees.
MANAGEABILITY | Easily manage the
security of users’ desktops at enterprise
scale with Azure’s unified management.
SCALABILITY | Deploy desktop instances of AVD at no additional cost by leveraging a pre-existing
Microsoft 365 subscription or enterprise Windows license.
SECURITY | Sensitive company data is never transferred out of the company's control structure
because any data transfers are between Azure cloud instances, which is heavily protected by built-
in security protocols.
PRODUCTIVITY | Utilize a Zoom plugin for a seamless and optimized VDI experience with AVD
ThinPro9. Leverage virtual backgrounds, desktop/app sharing, 1080p video resolution, and meet
with over 25 video participants.

Why ThinPro OS?


HP ThinPro OS + AVD is the ideal combination to enable your workforce to work remotely and with
enhanced security.
SECURITY | Based on the naturally secure Linux® OS, ThinPro has robust security thanks to a
locked file system, SecureBoot signing, and Componentization making it the perfect solution for
security-minded businesses.
SIMPLICITY | Experience a quick and painless setup using the start-up wizard and customize the
level of user control via the access panel. Seamlessly integrate ThinPro OS with tools you’re
already using; installed printers, USB keys, smart cards, SSO solutions, legacy solutions and more.
EFFICIENCY | Having the option to use either h.264 or h.265 codecs in ThinPro 7.2 means that the
customer can choose whether to reduce bandwidth on their network using h.265, or reduce
compute on their devices using h.264 – a crucial choice to be able to make to maximize system
efficiency.
