Microsoft has announced Windows 365, a new service from the company that will allow businesses to access Cloud PCs from anywhere by streaming Windows 10 or Windows 11 in a web browser on any device.
The development comes at a time when more and more businesses are moving towards a mix of office and remote work and several companies have decided to offer permanent remote working options after this COVID-19 pandemic.
At the time of announcing the Windows 365 service, the company didn’t reveal its pricing details. Now, just a day later, the company has revealed one pricing option that allows businesses to use a virtual Windows PC in the cloud for $31 per user, per month.
The $31 pricing option offers two CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. Do note that this isn’t the lowest-priced option as Microsoft will also be offering a plan with a single CPU, 2GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage.
Being a part of the Windows 365 Business option, it is meant for businesses with less than 300 overall users for the service. The company has confirmed that it will offer many more options, both in terms of configurations and price points, to share when the product becomes generally available on August 2nd.
Microsoft is offering 12 different configurations for both Windows 365 Business and Enterprise — from 1 CPU to 8 CPUs and from 1GB of RAM to 32GB of RAM. Businesses will be able to scale processing power so there will be lots of options to choose from.
Windows 365 will only be available for businesses when it launches on August 2nd, with a per-user monthly subscription cost. The company says that it is designed for one-person businesses all the way up to enterprises with thousands of employees. We’ll know all the pricing options in a couple of weeks.
