The basics

What is a Windows Cloud PC?

A Cloud PC provides an individually assigned Windows desktop running in cloud infrastructure — rather than depending completely on an employee's physical computer.

Users access a persistent Windows environment containing approved applications, company resources and settings, then reconnect to the same working environment from any supported device.

Approved business & Microsoft applications
Company resources and user settings
Consistent security policies, on every device

The CloudNet management layer

Where Microsoft Windows 365 is selected, the Cloud PC runs in Microsoft's cloud — and CloudNet manages everything around it:

Planning Licensing guidance Deployment User configuration Security Identity integration App deployment Monitoring Backup planning Technical support

Microsoft Windows 365

Your Windows 365, fully managed

Buying a Cloud PC licence is only one part of the solution. The Cloud PC itself operates within Microsoft's cloud infrastructure — CloudNet adds the management layer that turns a licence into a running, supported environment for your team.

Right fit

Who should consider Windows Cloud PCs?

Windows Cloud PCs can be a strong fit for teams already living in the Microsoft ecosystem — or moving toward it.

Choosing an approach

Cloud PC, Hosted RDS or private VDI?

Different teams need different desktop technologies. Here's how a Windows Cloud PC compares — and CloudNet can help you decide, or combine them.

Choose a Cloud PC when

Windows Cloud PC

Every employee should get an individually assigned Windows desktop
Microsoft cloud integration is important
Microsoft identity & endpoint management are already central
Standardized per-user resources make sense

Choose Hosted RDS when

Hosted RDS

Multiple employees use similar applications
Shared resources are appropriate
Cost efficiency matters
Centralized multi-user application hosting is required

Windows Cloud PC vs private VDI

Consideration	Windows Cloud PC	Private VDI
Desktop model	Individually assigned	Personal or pooled
Ecosystem	Microsoft-focused	Flexible infrastructure
Platform	Standardized	Greater architectural control
Resource configuration	Simple user-based model	More configuration choices
Best integration with	Microsoft management tools	Custom hosting options

Not sure which fits? CloudNet can help determine which approach best matches your organization — or design a hybrid that uses each where it makes sense.

Everyday value

Give employees a consistent desktop experience

Instead of rebuilding an employee's whole working environment each time their device changes, their cloud desktop stays centrally available.

A Cloud PC is especially useful when an employee:

Works from home several days per week

Uses multiple physical devices

Travels frequently

Receives a replacement laptop

Needs standardized business applications

Requires controlled access to company resources

Pricing

Priced around your users, not a one-size plan

Cloud PC costs depend on the resources and management each business needs:

Number of users Processor configuration Memory Storage Microsoft licensing Management requirements Backup services Security requirements

CloudNet can compare Cloud PCs with Hosted RDS and private VDI to determine which approach gives you the best combination of cost and functionality — so you only pay for the desktop each employee actually needs.
