Windows 365 is a cloud service that introduces a new way to experience Windows 10 or Windows 11, taking the operating system to the Microsoft Cloud, streaming the full Windows experience – apps, data, and settings – to personal or corporate devices. Windows 365: Today, Microsoft unveiled Windows 365 ( read the announcement here), which is ushering in the next wave of digital workspace innovation.Today, we are pleased to announce that NetApp is collaborating with Microsoft to deliver new, complementary innovations designed to meet the needs of the modern elastic workforce and their digital workspaces: At NetApp, we see this driving increased demand for a fully managed approach to supporting desktop environments that includes VDI, cloud, storage, real time monitoring, compute provisioning, and enhanced information security, all delivered as a service and continuously optimized for cost. It’s no surprise that these same enterprises consistently cited information security and the need to increase collaboration while lowering IT support costs as the key factors in their decision to move to cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). The clouds enable these workspaces to scale up and down at runtime matching the supply to the demand more efficiently than on premises.Ī recent study conducted by industry research firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)1 found that 92% of enterprises surveyed expect 50% or more of their workforce will utilize virtual, hosted desktops by 2024. Digital workspaces are now the norm, and the challenge and promise of a new hybrid workplace and elastic workforce is before us.Īt NetApp, our customers are increasingly moving their desktop environments from traditional on-premises infrastructures to cloud-based virtual desktops that enable employees to securely access applications, data, and resources from anywhere. Work from the office went to work from home and now work from anywhere. These transformations fundamentally affect a company’s relationship with its customers, partners, and its employees.

Digital transformations projects scheduled for two years are now being done today in 2 months.

The massive technology disruption caused by the global pandemic in the past year has fundamentally shifted how businesses are delivering IT services to their employees and accelerated the public cloud as the platform for digital transformation.
