Tech Talk | Windows in the Cloud: Inside Microsoft's Windows 365 Cloud PC Vision
Date: Monday, April 21st at 11am PT / 2pm ET
Work environments today require seamless access to corporate desktops and applications across locations and devices. Delivering that consistently while maintaining security and compliance has become an increasingly complex task. Many organizations are held back by on-premises desktop infrastructure that’s expensive to maintain, difficult to scale, and slow to adapt to changing needs—which is why so many organizations have turned to Windows 365 and Cloud PC technology. By streaming a personalized, persistent Windows experience from the cloud, these solutions can simplify desktop delivery while enhancing security, scalability, and manageability.
In this live Tech Talk veteran technology journalist John K. Waters talks with industry expert Neil McLoughlin to get an insider's look at Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and the future of Cloud PC technology. Join them as they will dive into the impact of the industry-wide shift toward cloud-based desktop solutions and offer actionable solutions for organizations facing uncertainty around architectural choices, deployment models, and long-term management strategies.
