What Is A Cloud-Hosted Desktop?

A hosted desktop is a virtual machine hosting a remote instance of a local/physical desktop and its peripherals. Desktops have transcended the limitations of on-premises data centers. Instead, cloud providers actively host desktops, also known as Cloud-hosted Desktops. These cloud-hosted desktops are often delivered “As a Service” and referred to as Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS).

Why Your Business Needs Cloud Hosted Desktops?

Cloud-hosted Desktops empower businesses with any time, anywhere, any device access to business applications, data, communications, and IT services. It is a complete, business-ready solution, delivered as a cloud service with predictable, pay-as-you-go monthly billing. It provides businesses, a simple, flexible and affordable approach to IT.

In addition to the flexibility, hosted desktops also offer the following benefits:

  • Better Security: Hosted Desktop providers, in addition to patch management and data backups, also implement cloud technology that protects files and documents against complex security threats
  • Low Maintenance: By hosting workspaces/desktops and apps on their servers. A hosting provider makes it simple for IT employees to maintain them.
  • Cost-Effective:With hosted desktops, businesses may avoid investing in expensive PCs and enable employees to remain productive while accessing their workspaces from any device.
