Windows on any device, anywhere

Windows 365 is a cloud service that allows users to access a virtual PC desktop environment from any device with an internet connection. This innovative solution provides a secure and scalable desktop platform for businesses of all sizes to manage their desktop computing needs while providing flexibility about what device the user has, whether it is a corporate laptop or desktop, a home PC, or a tablet.

Windows 365 offers several advantages over traditional desktop in that it provides a seamless, consistent and familiar Windows experience across devices, with all user data and settings stored in the cloud. This allows users to easily switch between devices without any loss of productivity.

All data is stored in the cloud and is protected by network, encryption and login security, to safeguard against cyber threats.

Windows 365 is a powerful and flexible solution for businesses and organisations looking to simplify their desktop computing infrastructure while maintaining security and reliability.

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a cloud-based desktop and application virtualisation service offered by the Microsoft Azure platform. It allows you to provide your employees with access to a Windows desktop and applications from anywhere, on any device, while maintaining control and security over the environment and without having to deploy and manage your own physical infrastructure.

Azure Virtual Desktop offers several benefits, including the ability to scale quickly and efficiently to meet changing demands, reduce capital expenditures, and simplify desktop management.

One of the most significant benefits of AVD is its flexibility. It allows employees to work from anywhere, on any device, while providing a consistent experience across all devices. This makes it easy for your organisation to support remote work and provide employees with the tools they need to be productive from anywhere.

Additionally, AVD provides advanced security features, including multi-factor authentication and conditional access, to protect against cyber threats and unauthorised access.

Azure Virtual Desktop is a powerful and flexible solution for any organisation or business looking to simplify their desktop infrastructure and support remote work with scalability and a consistent experience for employees while maintaining security and control.

If you need more flexibility for your users, with more customisation options than Windows 365 provides, please contact us to find out how AVD could help your organisation.

On the face of it, Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop sound like very similar desktop and application virtualisation solutions, but there are some key differences.

One of the main differences is how the services are managed. Windows 365 is a fully-managed service. It is designed to be easy to set up and manage, and requires minimal IT expertise. In contrast, Azure Virtual Desktop is a more complex solution that requires more technical expertise to set up and manage, but it is more customisable and flexible.

Another difference between the two services is the level of scalability they offer. Windows 365 is designed to scale up and down easily to meet changing business needs, making it a good choice for small and medium-sized organisations.

Azure Virtual Desktop, on the other hand, is a more powerful solution that can handle more complex workloads and is perhaps better suited for larger organisations with more demanding requirements.

In summary, Windows 365 is a more constrained and streamlined solution, ideal for small to medium-sized businesses and organisations with simple desktop computing needs, while Azure Virtual Desktop is a more powerful and customisable solution for larger organisations with more complex requirements.

Our consultants are well versed in the differences between all the Windows platforms and would be happy to help you understand which of these solutions best fits your requirements and business scenarios.
