DaaS or device-as-a-service: 14 January of 2020 will be last security update day for Windows 7. Σύμφωνα με τις εκτιμήσεις της Microsoft, υπάρχουν ακόμα 184 εκατομμύρια συσκευές (από τον Απρίλιο του 2018 και εκτός τις συσκευές της Κίνας) με Windows 7, ενώ το 64% της ηλικίας των συσκευών αυτών είναι άνω των πέντε ετών.
For Microsoft's partners and for the company itself, that means profits… incredible profits. Why;
Microsoft's end of support in a operating system it means more opportunities for the partners and also for the company itself to make available software change packages, or to provide a bunch of other services.
Meanwhile, the way computers are available is changing. Until 2020 (yes coincides with the Windows 7 support expiration time), 30% of all computers will be acquired via DaaS or device-as-a-service packets, such as they said Microsoft executives last week.
DaaS is the term used to lease a subscription-based computer that will coexist with other services. The term "Microsoft Managed Desktop" will be used for company devices.
During the Inspire conference, Microsoft executives often mentioned the idea that resellers should not just sell Windows 10, but devices running the operating system, according to ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley.
With the DaaS approach they will be able to create a whole platform for leasing new Windows 10 PCs to their customers.
Microsoft has presented to its partners a slide that describes the approach of DaaS.
The three main ones data is a “modern” commercial device, which means a device that uses Microsoft 365. The cloud management of that device, and a “modern” pricing, meaning an ongoing renewable lease.
These three elements could be combined into a single monthly account per user, said Steve Jensen, Microsoft Senior Partner Solutions Manager
Jensen reported a study by Forrester Research for Microsoft, according to which the company's partners could earn gross profits over $ 100 per user per year.
Some Companies have already adopted the DaaS approach. HP, for example, offers DaaS for Windows and Apple devices,while Dell offers various PC-as-a-service options.
