With all the talk lately of "JMP for the Cloud" as well as the new pricing model rolled out on 10/1/2022 with JMP for the Cloud add-on pricing, there is some confusing about what is possible for organizations and their desire to provide virtual desktop environments (VDIs) to their end-users.
Fortunately, the cloud vendors make this very easy and we should know how to talk to this when it comes up in sales conversations.
I am using what SAS provides to its employees for a Windows Cloud PC on Azure. I go through the request process as well as downloading and installing the JMP 17 trial and using the VDI in a browser.
You can read more about Windows 365 Cloud PCs here. Note this was completely self-service and rules-driven for me. And automatic and rules-driven for our IT department. After the compute resource was provisions, installing JMP was the very same experience as using a physical PC laptop.
