Enterprises and organizations seeking a solution to process highly sensitive data securely, retain full control of their workloads and enable collaborative analytics
About Azure Confidential Computing
Azure Confidential Computing increases data privacy and security by protecting data while it’s being processed, rather than only when stored or in transit. It encrypts data in memory within hardware-based trusted execution environments, only allowing computation to proceed after the cloud platform verifies the environment. This approach helps prevent access by cloud providers, administrators, or other privileged users. It supports scenarios such as multi-party analytics, allowing different organisations to contribute encrypted datasets and perform joint machine learning without revealing underlying data to each other. Users retain full control of their data and code, specifying which hardware and software can access it, and can migrate existing workloads with familiar tools, SDKs, and cloud infrastructure.

Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly Windows Virtual Desktop) is a comprehensive desktop and app virtualization service running in the cloud. It’s the only virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that delivers simplified management, multi-session Windows 10, optimizations for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, and support for Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environments. Deploy and scale your Windows desktops and apps on Azure in minutes, and get built-in security and compliance features. Bring your own device (BYOD) and access your desktop and applications over the internet using an Azure Virtual Desktop client such as Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or HTML5. Choose the right Azure virtual machine (VM) to optimize performance and leverage the Windows 10 and Windows 11 multi-session advantage on Azure to run multiple concurrent user sessions and save costs.

Confidential AI
Confidential AI provides private inference, private agents, confidential VMs and confidential computing infrastructure for AI labs, inference providers, routers, and organizations handling sensitive workloads. Its hosted inference service runs open-weight models in hardware-backed trusted execution environments (TEEs), including Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP confidential VMs with NVIDIA GPUs in confidential computing mode. Prompts, responses, and workload data are protected from infrastructure operators, and clients can verify attestation before sending sensitive input. Customers can use an OpenAI-compatible API to deploy inference endpoints and agent workloads, or license the confidential-computing stack for on-premises infrastructure, bare metal, and major clouds. Use cases include serving models while limiting operator access to prompts and model assets, and running sensitive AI workloads on dedicated confidential compute.

V2 Cloud
V2 Cloud is a virtual cloud computing platform that enables organizations to securely deliver workstations and all of the computing resources associated with them, such as files and databases, business applications of any kind, and servers of any kind including Linux, to users anywhere in the world. While V2 Cloud is often described as Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), it goes well beyond virtual desktops: it's a complete cloud computing environment that brings desktops, applications, data, and servers together in one managed platform.
Unlike traditional VDI solutions that require significant IT resources and specialized infrastructure expertise, V2 Cloud provides an intuitive, managed platform that can be deployed in minutes. Organizations can centralize computing resources, improve security, simplify IT operations, and support remote, hybrid, branch, and distributed workforces without investing in on-premise infrastructure.

Google Cloud Confidential VMs
Google Cloud’s Confidential Computing delivers hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments to encrypt data in use, completing the encryption lifecycle alongside data at rest and in transit. It includes Confidential VMs (using AMD SEV, SEV-SNP, Intel TDX, and NVIDIA confidential GPUs), Confidential Space (enabling secure multi-party data sharing), Google Cloud Attestation, and split-trust encryption tooling. Confidential VMs support workloads in Compute Engine and are available across services such as Dataproc, Dataflow, GKE, and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Notebooks. It ensures runtime encryption of memory, isolation from host OS/hypervisor, and attestation features so customers gain proof that their workloads run in a secure enclave. Use cases range from confidential analytics and federated learning in healthcare and finance to generative-AI model hosting and collaborative supply-chain data sharing.
