Our Hosted Desktop Services
Secure and scalable solutions for managing your desktop environments in the cloud.

Hosted Desktop Solutions
A Hosted Desktop solution delivers a complete desktop experience to users via the cloud. Unlike traditional desktops tied to physical hardware, hosted desktops reside on secure servers in data centres, ensuring scalability, security, and seamless updates. This innovative approach offers businesses several benefits, such as reduced costs, heightened mobility and enhanced disaster recovery capabilities, as part of our complete recovery service.

VDI Desktop
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) empowers businesses to create and manage Windows virtual desktop environments on remote servers. It leverages virtualisation technology to run multiple desktop instances on a single physical machine, enabling users to access their personal desktops remotely, regardless of their location or device. This concept streamlines IT management, enhances security, and boosts accessibility for users, creating an agile and adaptable workspace for hybrid and remote team members.

Complete Virtual Workplace
While a hosted desktop primarily focuses on delivering a secure and efficient desktop environment to users, a Complete Virtual Workplace extends this concept by encompassing a broader range of tools, applications, and collaborative features.
