We’ve released some highly anticipated solutions that make Office running in a virtual environment better… and faster!
Microsoft 365 is designed to help organizations digitally transform workplace collaboration. Many customers that I work with use virtualization, and they’re always looking for ways to cut costs and improve the user experience. To help, we acquired FSLogix last November, and today I’m pleased to announce four new capabilities to further improve the user experience in virtualized environments:
- FSLogix technology, which improves the performance of Office 365 ProPlus in multi-user virtual environments, is now available at no additional cost for Microsoft 365 customers.
- Windows Server 2019 will add support for OneDrive Files On-Demand in the coming months.
- Office 365 ProPlus, our flagship Office experience, will be supported on Windows Server 2019.
- And we’ve added new capabilities to Outlook, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams in Office 365 ProPlus to improve the user experience in a virtualized environment.
