Windows 365 Cloud PCs

Q: Windows 365 vs Virtual Desktop: Understanding the Difference

Many businesses are familiar with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions, such as Citrix , RDS , or even Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) , which allow users to access virtual desktops hosted on remote servers. While Windows 365 is also a virtual desktop solution, it simplifies the experience by offering a Cloud PC that provides users with their own dedicated desktop environment, with all the security and performance benefits of traditional VDI but with far less complexity. Unlike traditional VDI, which often requires extensive infrastructure, configuration, and management, Windows 365 Cloud PCs are easy to set up, manage, and scale. The simplicity of Windows 365 lies in its all-in-one subscription-based service , eliminating the need for large upfront investments in hardware or specialised IT resources. With Windows 365, your team can access their full desktop from any device, anywhere, without worrying about latency issues or complicated setups. In short, Windows 365 is essentially a more user-friendly, cost-effective, and scalable alternative to traditional virtual desktop solutions, providing the flexibility of the cloud with the simplicity of a standard desktop PC experience.
