Today, at Microsoft Ignite, a big announcement was made. The world was told about Windows 365 Link – the first Cloud PC device purpose-built to connect securely to Windows 365 in seconds. This device is now in preview and will become generally available for purchase in April 2025.
Phoenix were one of a handful of partners globally who were invited by Microsoft’s Engineering Team to take part in the private preview for Windows 365 Link. The private preview saw Phoenix deploy several devices across the organisation to help validate and steer the technical direction of the product ahead of it being generally available in 2025.
In addition to the technical validation, the private preview also allowed Phoenix to identify use cases where the device could deliver value for our customers currently evaluating their EUC strategy with windows in the cloud technologies. We’ve been supporting multiple organisations with the adoption of Windows 365 over the last three years and see huge potential with the introduction of this dedicated device.
Since winning Microsoft’s Modern Endpoint Management Partner of the Year in 2023, Phoenix has firmly cemented itself as a global leader across the cloud endpoint solution stack. With this came an invitation to join the Microsoft Management Customer Connection Program, which provides opportunities for Phoenix to work closely with Microsoft Engineering Teams to develop solutions that better address customer needs, such as Windows 365 Link.
Windows 365 Link will be generally available in 2025 and we’ll be sharing more updates and insights in the coming months.
“We’re so excited to have been part of this pilot period and experience this modern technology firsthand. This head start is set to enable us to support customers right from the beginning, further developing our cloud endpoint skills and representing our place as one of the top UK Microsoft partners.”
