About Hosted Desktop and its Benefits!

A Hosted Virtual Desktop is a user interface that connects to applications and data that are stored to a cloud provider’s servers – rather than on the user’s own desktop or corporate network. Hosted virtual desktop is the next phase in IT efficiency and productivity gains. Each desktop individually exists as a virtual machine (VM) on the service provider’s servers. To the end users, the experience is indistinguishable from one in which all their data and applications are local.

The Hosted Desktop delivery model, know as Desktop as a Service (DaaS) offers many benefits to an organization. The provider is responsible for storage, backup, security, and upgrades – which reduces labor for the IT department of an organization. HVD allows users to access all normal applications and desktop capabilities from virtually anywhere and on any device. Wherever you are in the world and from whatever device you are accessing, the hosted desktop solutions offers secure access to your business applications as well as Microsoft Office and Email.

Hosted Desktop applications all look and behave the exact same as if on the in-house desktops that are managed on in-house systems. However, the software and data employees access are instead hosted in data centres.

The following are business benefits of Hosted Desktop:

• All your critical data is stored off site
• Access your e-mail and applications anywhere
• Secure authenticated access
• Predictable costs
• Enhanced disaster recovery
