Windows 365 & Liquidware

Windows 365 Cloud PC

 

 

Value CalculatorUnleash Flexibility with Liquidware 

Windows 365 Cloud PCs are persistent desktops. Over time, that persistence can lead to application sprawl, configuration drift, and rising operational cost as environments evolve.

This applies to standard Windows 365 deployments as well as Windows 365 Frontline – Shared and Dedicated Cloud PCs. While Frontline users receive isolated, personalized experiences, the underlying Cloud PCs remain persistent. As applications, updates, and configurations accumulate at the OS level across users and shifts, operational complexity and management overhead increase.

Liquidware enhances Windows 365 by simplifying application change, user environment control, and experience visibility, helping IT teams operate Cloud PCs more efficiently and cost-effectively at scale., and experience visibility, helping IT teams run Cloud PCs more efficiently at scale.

 

 

 

FlexApp – Reduce Image Sprawl in Persistent Cloud PCs

Many organizations evaluating Windows 365 find that application management requirements remain just as strict as in physical and virtual desktop environments. Security policies, compliance mandates, and operational controls still govern how applications are installed, updated, and maintained.

Even with persistent desktops, Windows 365 environments still require multiple images and frequent rebuilds when applications change.

This is especially true in Windows 365 Frontline – Shared Cloud PC environments, where consistency across users and shifts is essential.

FlexApp reduces this complexity by delivering applications dynamically, without baking them into the base image.

Standardizing on FlexApp for application delivery allows IT teams to maintain enterprise-grade control and security while simplifying operations across Windows 365, AVD, and physical Windows environments.

• Minimize the number of Windows 365 base images
• Update or roll back applications without reprovisioning Cloud PCs
• Maintain consistent application delivery across Windows 365, AVD, and physical Windows
• Preserve required security and compliance controls without increasing management overhead

Result: Faster change, lower risk, less image management overhead.

 

Manage Profiles

 

 

 

ProfileUnity – Control the User Environment Over Time

Persistence does not prevent configuration drift. User settings, policies, and personalization diverge as Cloud PCs age.

In Windows 365 Frontline – Shared Cloud PCs, this challenge is amplified as multiple users log on and off the same Cloud PC, each requiring a clean, consistent, and personalized experience.

ProfileUnity provides centralized user environment management to keep experiences consistent and recoverable.

• Centralize user settings and policy control for Windows 365

• Apply context-aware configurations based on user or role

• Repair user environment issues without rebuilding the Cloud PC

• Ensure each Frontline user receives their own settings, personalization, and policies on shared Cloud PCs

Result: Stable, consistent user experience with fewer rebuilds and support tickets.

 

DEX Insight

 

 

 

Stratusphere UX – DEX Insight for Windows 365 You Can Act On

Stratusphere UX delivers continuous visibility into Cloud PC performance and user experience.

This visibility is critical for Windows 365 Frontline – Shared Cloud PCs, where performance issues may impact many users across multiple shifts.

• Measure real user experience across Windows 365

• Identify performance issues and root cause faster

• Optimize Cloud PC sizing using real workload data

• Understand usage patterns and performance trends, even across shared Frontline Cloud PCs

Result: Better performance with controlled Cloud PC cost.

 

Real-time Remediation

 

 

 

CommandCTRL – Real-time Control for Cloud PCs

CommandCTRL adds live visibility and remediation to Windows 365 operations.

In Frontline Shared Cloud PC environments, rapid remediation is essential to avoid disruption across shifts and user groups.

• See real-time Cloud PC health and activity

Remediate issues remotely without device rebuilds

• Reduce downtime and mean time to resolution

• Resolve issues on shared Cloud PCs before they impact the next Frontline user

Result: Proactive support with lower operational effort.

 

Business Outcomes

Lower operational cost: Fewer images, fewer rebuilds, fewer tickets

Faster change: Apps and user environments updated without disruption

Better experience: Consistent performance as Windows 365 scales 

Optimized Frontline operations: Reliable, personalized access on shared Cloud PCs across shifts
