DaaS or device-as-a-service: 14 January of 2020 will be last security update day for Windows 7. According to her estimates Microsoft, there are still 184 million devices (as of April 2018 and excluding its devices Chinas) with Windows 7, while 64% of the age of these devices is over five years old.
For Microsoft's partners but also for Microsoft itself company, αυτό σημαίνει κέρδη... απίστευτα κέρδη. Γιατί;
The end of Microsoft's support in an operating system means more opportunities for partners and the company itself to provide operational 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.
Το DaaS είναι ο όρος που θα χρησιμοποιηθεί για τη μίσθωση ενός υπολογιστή με συνδρομητική βάση, η οποία θα συνυπάρχει και με άλλες υπηρεσίες. Ο όρος "Microsoft Managed Desktop" θα χρησιμοποιείται για συσκευές της εταιρείας.
During the conference Inspire, Microsoft executives have often floated the idea that resellers shouldn't just sell Windows 10, but devices running the operating system, as ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley reports.
With the DaaS approach they will be able to create an entire platform to lease new Windows 10 computers to their customers.
Microsoft has presented to its partners a slide that describes the approach of DaaS.
Τα τρία βασικά στοιχεία είναι μια "σύγχρονη" εμπορική συσκευή, κάτι που σημαίνει μια συσκευή που χρησιμοποιεί το Microsoft 365. Η διαχείριση του cloud της εν λόγω συσκευής, και μια "σύγχρονη" τιμολόγηση, δηλαδή μια συνεχής ανανεώσιμη μίσθωση.
These three elements could be combined into a single monthly account per user, said Steve Jensen, Microsoft Senior Partner Solutions Manager
Jensen cited a Forrester study Research performed for Microsoft, according to which the company's partners could earn gross profits of more than $100 for each 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.
