N-able,
Inc. announced enhanced Windows
365 management capabilities within N-able Cloud Commander,
a solution introduced in collaboration with Microsoft earlier this
year. Cloud Commander is a multi-tenant solution enabling managed
services providers (MSPs) and cloud solution providers (CSPs) to manage
Microsoft users, Microsoft Azure resources, and Microsoft Intune all
from a single console-now including Windows 365 management capabilities.
As the demand for cloud solutions continues to surge, Cloud Commander
offers management and monitoring capabilities across Microsoft Cloud
solutions, positioning itself as an essential tool as MSPs and CSPs may
face challenges with managing at scale.
N-able Chief Technology and Product Officer, Mike Adler explains, "MSPs
are expected to manage a lot of different environments, alongside
physical devices through Intune, Azure virtual machines, and Azure
Virtual Desktop. When adding the growth of Windows 365 to the mix,
viewing all these assets in a single location is extremely important in
making their business run efficiently-and in turn, making their small
and medium-sized customers efficient. That's what makes N-able's
collaboration with Microsoft so beneficial. N-able Cloud Commander helps
MSPs manage the Microsoft Cloud for their clients while helping them be
more secure and profitable."
With the addition of Windows 365 management, endpoint administrators now have the ability to:
-
Seamlessly view and manage Windows 365 Cloud PCs across Windows 365
Business, Windows 365 Enterprise, and Windows 365 Frontline editions.
-
Access critical monitoring parameters for each Cloud PC, including
provisioning status, power state, connectivity status, and last sign-in.
-
Perform key actions such as refreshing, renaming, rebooting, and
reprovisioning on devices based on user roles, with many actions
supported in bulk.
-
Still access Intune-specific functions for Windows 365 Cloud PCs from the Intune list.
-
View and manage Windows 365 licenses, including usage for shared
licenses such as Windows 365 Frontline, via the new product licenses
page. This integration simplifies license administration and
optimization.
-
Access a single management interface for all Windows 365 Cloud PCs,
regardless of Intune enrollment status. Administrators can use Windows
365 device capabilities and relate them to the Intune counterpart and
device license.
"We are pleased to partner with N-able to bring enhanced Windows 365
management capabilities to MSPs and CSPs, enabling them to manage on
behalf of their customers and scale with ease," said Scott Manchester,
Vice President of Product Management Windows 365 and Azure Virtual
Desktop at Microsoft.
