Cloud
Desktop

Cloud desktops allow businesses to store users’ desktop environments (the icons, wallpaper, windows, folders, toolbars, widgets, etc. users see every day when they go to work and logon to their computers) on a server, rather than on a local PC. Users can access their desktop remotely via laptops, smartphones, or tablets over a network that makes it feel as if they are working off the desktop itself.

​

These virtual desktops replicate physical workstations so there is no interruption in the user experience. Often, users report that performance is better than physical workstations. This is because system-taxing things like storage, processing power, and back-end databases are offloaded to the cloud.

​

Cloud Desktop end users are not limited to just hauling around bulky laptops and downloading files to memory sticks to get work done. They can log in to their personal virtual desktop from any internet-enabled device when they want and, in most cases, anywhere in the world. Remote workers no longer put up with hassles of time-intensive user experiences to access “work” and perform their jobs. They want to be able to work when and how they want. So, whether it is from the office, in their homes, or on the sidelines at soccer practice, they expect a seamless experience. By providing a virtual desktop option, businesses keep their staff safe, happy, and productive.
