What is the cloud PC device “Windows 365 Link”? Is it time to return to on-premise?
In mid-November, Microsoft announced a new device called “Windows 365 Link.”
This is completely different from conventional Windows PCs, and this Windows 365 Link does not have the Windows OS installed, but is a cloud PC device for connecting to Windows 365 on the cloud.
If there was something similar to this, it would be a thin client.
Among thin clients, the “cloud-based thin client” that has been making a lot of noise in recent years seems to be the closest thing.
There are two types of thin clients: on-premise thin clients and cloud-based thin clients. Companies that are able to manage their own servers tend to use on-premise thin clients, while companies that want to reduce the workload of their system staff or that are unable to manage their servers tend to use cloud-based thin clients.
The newly announced Windows 365 Link is a device created by Microsoft with the aim of completely migrating to the cloud, but if it is a cloud-based thin client, the device can be used from the PC, tablet, or smartphone you are currently using, and it is easy to install. If you want to use a system like Windows 365 Link right away, we recommend the cloud-based thin client service.
The recommended cloud-based thin client service is “applippli Dx Pro”. This service allows you to use the remote desktop environment of a Windows PC from various devices. The service can be used from JPY 11,900 per user (for 4 cores and 15 users), and there is no limit to the number of users per capacity, making it very convenient. The setup of the client environment used by the user can be done entirely from the host environment, so you can perform the configuration work without wasting resources.
