Windows 365 updates

Microsoft announce the general availability of three Windows 365 innovations – find the article here: https://bit.ly/4k3VcGv, and read on for the summary.

First, Windows 365 Link is now available. This is a purpose-built Cloud PC device that’s designed to connect to Windows 365 in a fast and secure way; you can find out more on our blog here: https://bit.ly/4jwyp6d.

Then there’s Windows 365 Frontline Shared Mode for when you want to provision a single Cloud PC which lots of people need to use for short periods on an ad hoc basis, perhaps for a specific task. Only one person can use the Cloud PC at a time, and you can find out more on our blog here: https://bit.ly/4cOpf2e.

And finally, there’s Windows 365 Disaster Recovery Plus, an Add-on licence for Windows 365 Enterprise for (of course) disaster recovery scenarios. Find out more about that on our blog here: https://bit.ly/42wcy8P.

Windows 365 Frontline Shared Mode

Microsoft announce that there’s a new Shared Mode for Windows 365 Frontline which is now in public preview. The original mode, now called Dedicated Mode, is aimed at users with staggered working hours. It allows you to provision personalised Cloud PCs for up to three users for each Windows 365 Frontline licence as long as those Cloud PCs are used non-concurrently. The new mode is for when you want to provision a single Cloud PC which lots of people need to use for short periods on an ad hoc basis, perhaps for a specific task. Only one person can use the Cloud PC at a time, and when they sign out all user data is deleted.
