Let’s learn the Windows 365 AI-based Cloud PC Resize Recommendations. Cloud PC is a SaaS service provided by Microsoft. It allows users to run Windows desktops in the cloud. It provides a scalable and flexible solution for remote work and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

Microsoft has introduced Cloud PC recommendations by incorporating AI-based mechanisms. It helps users assess whether their devices are appropriately sized for optimal performance and usage.

The critical aspect is the integration of this functionality directly into Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service part of the Microsoft UEM solution. It is designed for mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), and PC management.

Integrating Cloud PC recommendations into Intune implies a good user experience, where they don’t have to perform additional setup steps to access or utilize this feature. All these details are available in the Technical Takeoff session by Danniel Emerson.

Let’s discuss the AI-based Cloud PC recommendations. You can easily create a Cloud PC environment that not only delivers excellent performance for end users but also does so in a way that optimizes the Total Cost of Ownership.

Critical considerations involve optimizing end-user performance and ensuring the best Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in a Cloud PC environment. How can I ensure that my end-users get the best performance while getting the best Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?

  • Integrated into Intune, no setup is required
  • Included with Windows 365 Enterprise
  • Specific performance and cost-saving recommendations
  • Evolving model

AI-based Cloud PC Recommendations

The foundation of Cloud PC Recommendations is the meticulous collection of platform data, encompassing vital metrics such as Virtual Machine (VM) resource consumption and utilization. This data is then provided into a dynamic and evolving AI model, serving as the cognitive engine behind the system.

Optimize the total cost of ownership (TCO) by reclaiming unused Windows 365 licenses from users who have not logged in for a long time or at all. You can use Cloud PC Recommendations to identify inactive users; this way, you can optimize your license utilisation and avoid paying for idle resources.Users with undersized Cloud PCs may experience poor performance, slow response times, or application crashes. You can use Cloud PC Recommendations to find undersized Cloud PCs and a recommended SKU selection for each device.Users that may have an oversized Cloud PC could be driving higher total cost of ownership (TCO) without seeing a tangible benefit to their experience. Cloud PC Recommendations can identify oversized devices and provide a recommended SKU option for resizing.
