Yes. Although data is stored on third party servers and not within your immediate reach. Cloud providers and data centers have robust built-in security features and protocols to ensure data storage security.

All data is located in remote data centers all over the world. Cloud vendors usually store the same data in multiple places to make sure the data is always accessible. This is what we call redundancy.

Microsoft Solutions FAQs

If you want to use Win 10 EVD with WVD then you cannot migrate to WVD directly from on-premise. If you want to continue using your existing image (WS or Win10), you can migrate your VMs as long as you have the following also migrated/setup – AD with AAD sync, VNET, user storage (optional if they want everything available in Azure). You can also use Azure Site Recovery for the same. The other option is to migrate all your on-prem resources using ASR to Azure (inclusive of RDS components) and then once you have a validated env, you can connect the VMs to WVD. I would recommend this option because many customers get stuck in the AD and VNET creation/sync step and then cannot deploy their WVD setup. A phased migration ensures that you get all of the WVD pre-requirements in place before attempting to use WVD.
