A Hosted Desktop is a secure, cloud-based virtual environment that enables businesses to access their workspaces from any device, anywhere. Instead of relying on physical office infrastructure, employees can work remotely with the same access and performance as if they were in the office.
How Does a Hosted Desktop Work?
Hosted Desktops operate through cloud infrastructure, where all files, applications, and settings are stored in secure data centers instead of on local machines.
- Users access their desktop via a secure internet connection.
- All data is encrypted and stored in high-performance cloud environments.
- IT teams can manage software updates and security centrally.

- Cost-Effective – Reduce IT maintenance costs, hardware investments, and on-premises infrastructure.
- Scalability – Easily add or remove users as your business grows.
