What is Windows 365 Cloud PC?

Windows 365 is a subscription-based Microsoft Cloud PC service. When you subscribe and set it up, you get a remote Windows desktop that can be accessed in any modern web browser from a PC or any mobile device. With Windows 365, you’re essentially accessing a remote Windows PC via a virtual desktop system. You can install whatever Windows software you like and access Windows applications and a complete Windows operating system environment through the browser. The desktop environment is always on.

In other words, if you have a bunch of application windows open but want to disconnect (or close your browser), you can rest assured that your desktop will be in the exact same state when you reconnect, no matter which device you connect from.

The Reasons That You Will Love Windows 365

Instant Access to Your Personalized Cloud PC

Your users will be able to boot instantly to their Cloud PC and stream their personalized Windows experience – their apps, content, and settings — with any device.

Seamless Windows 365 Experience Anywhere

Windows 365 is streamed from the cloud and travels with your users, always ready and always updated, wherever they need to work, on whatever device they need to work on.

Consistent Cloud PC State Across Devices

They can pick up right where they left off because the state of their Cloud PC remains the same, even when they switch devices. It’s a simple and versatile Windows experience powered by Microsoft cloud technologies.

Streamlined Management with Virtualization

Windows 365 simplifies procurement, deployment, management, and updates, because, unlike other solutions, it uses virtualization behind the scenes.

Flexible Configuration for Employee Needs

The Microsoft cloud PC offers many configuration options to easily scale to meet employees’ needs, with the right processing power and storage to do their job when and how they need it.

Robust Security with Zero Trust Principles

The Windows 365 Cloud is secure by design and built with the principles of Zero Trust. Windows 365 secures and stores information in the cloud, not on the device, providing users a secure, productive experience. Always up to date and building on the strength of rich Microsoft security capabilities and baselines, Windows 365 takes away layers of security complexity and recommends the best security settings for the environment at hand.

Simplified Purchasing with Predictable Pricing

We know that the procurement process can also be tedious for IT, and Windows 365 makes purchasing Cloud PCs easy with predictable per-user per-month pricing.
