Microsoft Windows 365 – A Cloud PC Service that empowers Remote & Hybrid Work
Now you can get a full, personalized Microsoft Window 10 PC experience from the cloud to any device in your organization - giving your workers more power, simplicity and security for their remote and hybrid work.

Windows 365 streams the full Windows experience - apps, data and settings - and stores information in the cloud, not on the device, providing a more secure, productive experience. 

We Make IT Easy… Work with DataLink to connect your teams with Microsoft’s latest Cloud PC technology. 

Remote and Hybrid work require virtual processes and remote collaboration. In this more distributed environment, hybrid employees need access to corporate resources across locations and devices - and with cybersecurity threats on the rise, securing those resources is paramount. Windows 365 helps businesses solve those challenges, and more.

By building on the power of the Windows operating system and the strength of the cloud, Windows 365 offers greater peace of mind in 3 key ways:

  • Powerful: With instant-on boot to their personal Cloud PC, users can stream all their applications, tools, data and settings. The cloud also provides versatility in processing power and storage, enabling IT to scale up or down, based on their needs. With a choice of either Windows 10 or Windows 11 (once it is generally available later in 2021), organizations can choose the Cloud PC that works for them with per-user per-month pricing.

  • Simple: With a Cloud PC, users can log in and pick back up where they left off across devices, providing a simple and familiar Windows experience. For IT, Windows 365 also simplifies deployment, updates and management - and unlike other solutions, doesn’t require any virtualization experience. With Windows 365 optimized for the endpoint, it’s easy to procure, deploy and manage Cloud PCs

  • Secure: Windows 365 is secure by design, leveraging the power of the cloud and the principles of Zero Trust. Information is secured and stored in the cloud, not on the device. Always up to date and building on the strength of rich Microsoft security capabilities and baselines, Windows 365 simplifies security and recommends the best security settings for the environment at hand.

Simplified IT Management for Your Multi-location Business
Managing a multi-site business? Running IT in the cloud permits multi-site enterprises to run their operations without the complexity and expense associated with managing standalone data centers and infrastructure, while enabling distributed users to get one-call, centralized support.

Businesses can turn to DataLink to fulfill their end-to-end server, processing, storage, networking and user support needs. Among the Cloud services we offer that simplify enterprise IT are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Desktop as a Service (DaaS):

  • Infrastructure as a Service – We implement and maintain your Enterprise-class IT environment. We set up and maintain the servers, network equipment and related services. You can opt for a fully managed or co-managed arrangement. Web-based management tools enable you to self-provision resources – scaling them up or down – or we can handle everything for you.

  • Desktop as a Service – Our experts coordinate, provision, and support your user endpoints, including PCs, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. This service minimizes up-front hardware and software costs, while enhancing security. Best of all, our team handles ongoing daily user demands so you can focus on strategic IT initiatives.

Considering a Move? Office expansion? First, let’s talk about Your Technology 
Office technology is the powerhouse that drives your business forward… If your broadband connections and voice communications aren’t working at your new office on Day One, your business will sputter to a stop. 

Here are some of the critical technology elements that DataLink relocation experts pay special attention to so you can avoid costly roadblocks... 

  • IT Infrastructure - We review your wireless and cabling requirements for voice, data and video, as well as map out the best locations for servers, routers, wireless access points, network printers, uninterruptable power systems – anything that needs to be connected.

  • Dedicated Space - We'll work with your facilities team to help identify the ideal locations for server rooms and network hubs, and any special requirements for electrical power, air handling, and physical access control.

  • Broadband Connections - We review capacity requirements to determine if you need more network capacity or broadband speed at your new location. We'll work with the service providers to get the connections you need.

  • Cloud Migrations - An impending move may provide an opportunity for cost savings by moving more onsite systems and applications to the cloud, especially if your aging on-premises technology can’t provide the latest capabilities your people need to perform at their best.

  • Equipment - We determine if your current systems still meet your business needs. If they fall short, we'll get you up to speed on upgrades or replacements that will meet your performance requirements at your new location.

Don’t let a poorly executed office move put your business on hold. For a successful Day One get DataLink involved in your plans as early as possible.
