Hosted Virtual Desktop Computing

Hosted desktop technology is an innovative new method for delivering desktops to end users. Part of the ‘cloud computing’ concept, a hosted desktop looks and acts exactly like a traditional PC but, instead of residing locally, all software and data are housed in our state-of-the-art data centres. Hosted desktops offer numerous advantages in terms of cost savings, security, resilience, flexibility and reduced management.



Hosted desktops are beginning to replace the traditional idea that all office staff must have a full PC sitting beneath their desks. Of course, in today's world businesses need their employees to have access to computers to communicate and to perform all manner of tasks. However, the way in which this can be facilitated is evolving. Buying, setting up and maintaining PCs is an expensive exercise, especially when you factor in the associated management time and costs. Hosted Desktops removes this headache by providing you with a hosted desktop environment, which you can connect to from anywhere via the internet – in the office, at home, or even abroad.

Key benefits

All you need is a PC, laptop, thin client or mobile device and an internet connection., we do the rest. Because we provide you with a full Windows environment with all the functionality you’d expect, you'd never know you weren’t using a PC. Additional applications can be installed on demand, whilst we backup, manage and maintain the hosted desktops for you, ensuring they’re available 24 /7.

Economical
Rather than investing in depreciating assets, which require high CapEx initially and then continue to be a drain on your resources, choosing hosted desktops means you no longer have to splash out on PC infrastructure or office applications. Instead, a transparent subscription-per-user model ensures predictable costs and great value for money.

Cut your carbon footprint
Rising energy costs, combined with government-imposed financial penalties on carbon production, make cutting your power consumption a vital consideration. However, as all of your data and applications are stored in our energy-efficient data centres, hosted desktops allow you to make significant savings – accessing them via a thin client means using only 10% of the power a normal PC does.

Add resources on -demand
Scale resources up and down as you need them. Need more RAM or CPU? No problem - just click a button. Our cloud computing infrastructure can deliver resources to you instantly.

Anywhere accessWherever you are you can connect to YOUR hosted desktop . Our networks allow you secure access from any location you wish, which means that you can join colleagues as if you were in the office.



Flexibility is a quality that can pay dividends internally too. Many businesses are now increasing productivity and gaining valuable loyalty by providing flexible working arrangements, including working from home. Home workers can gain access to their working environment, network and applications instantly, without the need for expensive VPNs or providing everyone with laptops. Instead, hosted desktops make the ‘anywhere’ office a reality

Free yourself from desktop management
Hosted desktops remove the burden of managing individual desktop environments in-house, leaving you to concentrate on growing your business and maximising turnover. Information is stored in our highly secure data centres and delivered to you via any internet browser, so your own, fully customisable desktop can be accessed wherever you are, whenever you want. It is exactly the same as using a PC - simply plug into your broadband connection and you’re ready to go.
