We’re excited to announce that Windows 365 Government is now available for US Government Community Cloud environments GCC and GCC High.
Built to meet the enhanced security and compliance requirements of the US government, Windows 365 Government is a full Windows 365 experience—combining the power and security of the cloud with the familiarity of the PC to empower flexibility and innovation. With Windows 365 Government, US government agencies, contractors, partners (State, Local, Federal Civilian, Defense), and native Indian tribes (US only) can securely stream their Windows apps, data, content, and settings from the Microsoft cloud to any supported device at any time. It’s a complete Windows experience that is:
- Personalized: All your apps, content, and settings, streamed from the Microsoft cloud to any device
- Powerful: Scalable Cloud PCs bring the Windows 10 experience to you, on any device, and beginning in December, Windows 11 will also be available.
- Simple: Provision and deploy Windows on a Cloud PC today, right from Microsoft Intune or at windows365.microsoft.com
- Secure: Enhancing the security benefits of Cloud PCs with new Windows 11 security features
With Windows 365 Government, Cloud PCs are provisioned within a US government data center. Customers that also have Cloud PCs in the commercial cloud will recognize the same experience in the Government Community Cloud (GCC environment) including familiar tools and provisioning policy configuration. Customers using both Commercial and GCC environments can also use the same identity and credentials.
Windows 365 is transparent, simple, and secure for users, and it helps administrators meet the stringent security and compliance requirements of the US government. This approach enables customers to operate more cost effectively as they manage hybrid environments and both legacy and modern applications.
