Windows 365 Link – The modern workplace rethought

Imagine entering the office in the morning, sitting down at a free desk, switching on a small device – and your complete Windows workstation is immediately available. No setup, no updates, no compromises. This is exactly what Windows 365 Link makes possible.

The combination of Microsoft’s cloud PC technology and a specially developed thin client radically shifts the concept of the workplace: away from the physical device and towards the environment – flexible, secure, scalable. As evoila, we are one of the few official reseller partners for Windows 365 Link in Europe – and bring this innovation directly to our customers.

What is Windows 365?

Windows 365 is a cloud PC service from Microsoft. It gives users a fully-fledged Windows workstation – provided directly from the cloud. Whether via browser, app or a special device such as the Windows 365 Link: Access to the personal virtual desktop is possible at any time.

With Windows 365, your PC is wherever you are

The most important advantages

  • Complete Windows PC from the cloud, accessible at all times
  • Access from anywhere – regardless of the end device
  • No local data loss in the event of device failure
  • Management via Microsoft Intune and integration in Azure AD
  • Scalability on demand – without classic hardware cycles

Windows 365 is available in a business version (for smaller companies) and an enterprise version with comprehensive administration, security guidelines and integration into existing IT infrastructures.

Windows 365 Link is a compact, fanless thin client that can be managed via Microsoft Intune and is designed exclusively for connecting to a Windows 365 Cloud PC. Local data? Not a chance. Complicated installations? Not necessary. Instead: a digital workplace that is available wherever there is an internet connection – in the office, at home, on the move.

Windows 365 Link – a fanless thin client

Typical application scenarios – three use cases from practice

Desk sharing in modern offices

In companies with flexible working models, employees no longer have fixed workstations, but rather changing workstations. Windows 365 Link offers ideal access to the personal working environment – regardless of where you are based. Simply log in, work, done.

Secure access in call centers or in the public sector

In sensitive environments where data protection and access security are top priorities, Windows 365 Link scores with a zero-trust approach: no data on the device, centrally managed security, can be combined with FIDO2 login (e.g. YubiKey) – ideal for temporary employees or workstations with changing usage.

Rollout in globally distributed teams

International companies in particular benefit from the ability to provide employees at different locations with standardized, preconfigured workstations – without having to ship expensive hardware or complex IT support processes on site. The cloud PC is always with you – the link device is configured locally or even sent directly by post.

Our experience: fast, secure, accepted

Windows 365 Link has quickly proven itself in initial customer projects – including at a large hybrid service provider. The feedback shows:

  • Quick start without waiting time
  • High security thanks to central administration and MFA
  • Easy to use for end users
  • High acceptance in everyday life, especially with changing workplaces

The experience is particularly powerful in combination with FIDO2 security keys such as the YubiKey. This enables passwordless login, which is not only convenient but also highly secure – especially in combination with Azure AD and Conditional Access.
