Cloud-based solutions are gaining momentum in the small and medium-sized business marketplace. Over the last 18 months, SMBs have been required to adapt to remote and hybrid workplaces rapidly. Windows 365 Cloud PC is the contemporary experience for SMB customers, providing SMBs with multiple benefits, including the security of the cloud and the ease of use of the PC. However, as we have been discussing both Azure desktop and Windows 365 Cloud PC, it should be helpful for customers to see a comparison.
Both the Windows 365 Cloud PC and the Azure desktop deliver the latest cloud technology features, such as built-in security, a high-end remote experience, flexibility, and affordability. Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that permits users to completely customize infrastructure and manage the resources that work within the virtualized infrastructure. By contrast, Windows 365 Cloud PC is a fully managed SaaS solution that delivers the same outstanding desktop experience as Windows, but without the inconvenience of managing infrastructure.
Benefits of Windows 365 Cloud PC
- It offers easy and predictable per-user pricing and is turn-key to purchase and deploy. No specific IT skills are needed.
- Windows Cloud PC offers scalable solutions, which can scale up or scale down as power and storage needs change.
- It targets new and unique clients not previously serviced by the Azure solution.
- The Windows 365 Cloud PC target customer isn’t required to fit a specific company size or industry type. Instead, the Cloud PC fits most logically into businesses with a hybrid/dispersed or seasonal workforce that requires managed PCs.
Why Should You Choose Azure Virtual Desktop?
- Azure desktop provides the best price on Windows 10 with Windows 10 multi-session, exclusive to Azure Virtual Desktop.
- Azure desktop is completely customizable, operates on Azure, and is the most cost-effective solution for clients.
