Arrow Electronics, a global technology provider, has achieved the Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop Specialization, a certification that attests to a channel partner's deep knowledge, breadth of experience and expertise in deploying, scaling and securing virtual desktop infrastructure on Azure.
This recognition follows Arrow's Infrastructure and Database Migration to Microsoft Azure specialization in 2025.
The Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop Specialization can only be earned by channel partners who meet rigorous customer success and internal staff training criteria, as well as pass a third-party audit of Azure Virtual Desktop implementation techniques.
The certification is a testament to Arrow's capabilities to support channel partner organizations in digitizing their workplace by providing secure, scalable and cost-effective virtual desktop solutions through Azure.
Sophie Daval, global director of public cloud enterprise computing solutions at Arrow, said: "Achieving the Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop specialization represents a significant milestone for Arrow. It enhances our commitment to supporting channel partners in delivering modern workplace solutions that drive productivity and security. Through ArrowSphere, we enhance the channel partner experience by simplifying cloud management and enabling the seamless delivery of multi-vendor solutions on a single, integrated platform. As a leading hybrid aggregator cloud and AI in the channel, Arrow will continue to provide the tools, expertise and resources channel partners need to succeed in the AI-native cloud era.”
Supporting remote working safely for employees is more important than ever. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop is a solution that integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products and allows customers to deploy virtual desktops in a scalable, secure and cost-effective way.
Channel partners with validated Azure Virtual Desktop implementation expertise can help customers deploy the solution and navigate the licensing efficiencies offered to provide the most efficient solution for their organization.
Andrew Smith, general manager, partner program management at Microsoft, said: "The Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop certification highlights partners who are considered the most competent in implementing Azure Virtual Desktop on Azure. Arrow Electronics has clearly demonstrated that it has both the skills and experience needed to offer customers a transition path to desktop-as-a-service in a scalable, secure and cost-effective manner."
Specializations such as Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop and Infrastructure and Database Migration to Microsoft Azure help Arrow differentiate itself by broadening the range of applications available to channel partners. Through ArrowSphere, Arrow enables companies to manage their business and cloud operations within a single digital platform. The platform's robust cloud capabilities enable the design, delivery and supervision of multi-vendor services, transforming them into ready-to-deploy solutions with automated provisioning.
