Windows 365 is a virtual desktop for corporations that anticipate telework demand
Windows 365 is a strategic service that lowers the hurdle of virtual desktop services in anticipation of rapidly increased telework demand.
Virtual desktop services are services that can remotely control Windows 10, which operates with virtual machines on the cloud using a remote desktop client and browser, and has been used for corporate clients.
The cloud service Azure provided by Microsoft was also provided as "Azure Virtual Desktop" (former Windows Virtual Desktop), extreme stories, hosting virtual machines on Azure and connecting with a remote desktop.But it was available (using Azure Bastion is also available via a browser).
However, these services had a high hurdle to use and were not suitable for introducing small and medium -sized organizations and individual offices.
There are two main solution tasks.
Construction task
Azure Virtual Desktop requires an Active Directory environment for synchronizing an account with Azure AD, connecting the local Active Directory with VPN, or building Azure Ad Domain Service on Azure.
On the other hand, the virtual machine requires a virtual machine setting and a roll -based permission to sign in with Azure AD, and the Azure Bastion for accessing via a browser has the drawback that Azure AD authentication cannot be used.
Azure Virtual Desktopは、Azure上での設定が必要なだけでなく、AD環境との接続が必要だったり、初心者にはハードルが高かったExpenses issues
Even with Azure Virtula Desktop and virtual machines+Bastion, the monthly fee was fixed to some extent (it can be considered up to 720 hours a month because it is a monthly charge), so it was not difficult to assume.
For example, the "B2S", a virtual machine with a CPU 2 cores, 4GB of memory, and 8GB of temporary storage is $ 36.21 per month, can be used at the same price as this Windows 365.
However, in addition to this, a storage fee ($ 9.6 for 128GB of Standard SSD) is charged for each terminal, and a fee for the transfer amount of the network may be charged.
In addition, depending on the environment, charges such as Azure AD Domain Service ($ 109.5 per month), Azure VPN (when connecting to local), and Azure Bast ($ 138.7 per month) described at the time of construction issues are also required.
個人で使いたいなら仮想マシンを使ってリモートデスクトップで接続する手もある。ただし、Bastionなどを組み合わせたりするとコスト的に高くなるThis is the Windows 365 that solved these issues.BASIC's CPU 2 cores, 4GB of memory, and 128GB of storage can be used at a reasonable price of 4,210 yen per month for each user, and it is easy to build an environment anyway, so we can consider cooperation with AD.There is no need to do it, and you can transfer from HTTPS to RDP from the beginning.
In addition, the CPU 1 cores, 2GB of memory, and 64GB of storage can be used at the minimum price of 2,720 yen per month.
Windows 365 Businessの料金例The deployment of the virtual machine is really easy, and if you have experienced Microsoft 365 management, you will know, but just open the user's property from the management center and assign a Windows 365 license to automatically automatically desktop.The deployment is started.
In detail, there is no need to specify a login destination, such as "azuread is azuread attraction" or "azuread\.onmicrosoft.com" when the user connects to the virtual machine.
In short, the fact that it was "slightly troublesome ..." was wrapped in Windows 365 clothes, and neither the administrator nor the user had to be aware of it.
