Microsoft today announced that it is acquiring FSLogix to improve its virtualization capabilities and provide an even better experience for Microsoft 365 customers. FSLogix’s next-generation app-provisioning platform reduces the resources required to support virtualization. FSLogix solutions are now being used by various enterprise organizations around the world to enhance customer experience and productivity.

Here’s how customers will benefit from FSLogix acquisition:

Office 365 ProPlus is currently the best Office experience, and, with FSLogix enabling faster load times for user profiles in Outlook and OneDrive, Office 365 ProPlus will become even more performant in multi-user virtual environments (including Windows Virtual Desktop).

To meet the demands of businesses that requires a virtualized desktop experience, Microsoft recently announced the new Windows Virtual Desktop service. The Windows Virtual Desktop based on Azure is the only cloud-based service that delivers a multi-user Windows 10 experience. Microsoft mentioned that Windows Virtual Desktop includes free Windows 7 Extended Security Updates.
