Hosted Desktop Services let your team access their desktops, apps, and data securely from anywhere – no bulky hardware or clunky VPNs required.
By centralising everything in the cloud, updates, security, and maintenance become simple and seamless. The result? A flexible, mobile workforce that stay productive while your systems stay secure, compliant, and easy to manage.
The Benefits of Hosted Desktop
Standardised desktop
experience for all
Everyone gets the same fast, secure desktop — no matter where they log in from. With a consistent environment across your workforce, updates are easier, support requests drop, and your team can get straight to work without tech getting in the way.
Secure access to corporate resources
Give your team secure, reliable access to business apps and data wherever they are. With built-in security controls, encrypted connections, and centralised management, you keep your information protected without slowing anyone down.
Fast, reliable access from anywhere
Get the same fast, responsive desktop experience wherever you work — in the office, at home, or on the move. Because the power sits in the cloud, not your device, you get reliable performance without pricey hardware slowing you down.
Security and compliance baked in
Your desktops come with enterprise-grade encryption, strict access controls, and full GDPR and ISO 27001 compliance. Security is part of the package, keeping data safe, audits simple, and your team free to focus on the work that actually matters.
Scalable to meet your needs
We design your virtual desktop infrastructure with flexibility at its core. As your business evolves, your cloud desktops expand effortlessly — keeping systems stable, resources optimised, and your workforce fully supported wherever they’re working.
Work anywhere, anytime, on any device
With cloud-powered desktops, they can access everything they need securely and reliably, whether at home, in the office, or on the move — reducing downtime, supporting flexible working, and keeping business moving without friction.
Cost-efficient operations
Keep your cloud desktops working smarter, not harder. By powering down machines when they’re not in use, you cut unnecessary spend and reduce energy consumption — delivering a greener, more cost-efficient way to run your workforce.

Transform your IT operations with Virtual Desktop
By moving users to a hosted desktop, you can transform your business, change up your workstyle, or even ditch the office completely. You don’t need us to tell you about the massive recent rise in remote and hybrid work, and hosted desktops are a key ingredient in making them possible.
Users tend to love it; they don’t have to wait for Outlook to populate all their emails when they log in. They can pick up where they left off if one device fails or runs out of battery. And their luggage will be much lighter on the road, as they won’t need the most powerful devices to run demanding applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Remote Desktop Services (RDS), and Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?
VDI and RDS are technologies used to create a virtualised environment on a remote server setup. VDI offers individual desktops to each user, while RDS hosts multiple, simultaneous client sessions. Both require pretty substantial infrastructure management and might need to be hosted on-premises. This can mean higher costs and more complex deployments.
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a DaaS, a cloud service provided by a third party. As DaaS is hosted in the cloud, it has better scalability, and a lower infrastructure management burden. This means a DaaS managed service can be more cost-effective in certain scenarios.
Which hosted desktop solutions do you provide?
We can provide services for a number of different hosted desktop solutions such as Citrix or Azure Virtual Desktop. We can tailor the offering to your business needs.
What is the pricing for hosted desktop?
We normally use a pay-as-you-go pricing model. This means you only pay for the virtual machines and the storage you use, making it a cost-effective option for businesses of all sizes.
