Hosted Desktop
Our Hosted Desktop solution provides a desktop experience delivered from the cloud. Therefore, users can access a Windows desktop, applications and email from anywhere, at any time and on almost any internet-enabled device. As an added benefit, you could dispense with on-site hardware and the resources needed to maintain and support the equipment resulting in significant cost savings. All user data is hosted and stored securely in state-of-the-art data centres. The system also includes built-in disaster recovery to eliminate the threat of downtime.
If you are still running either Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating systems on machines or servers your business could be susceptible to security and data issues because Microsoft no longer support these systems. You could take advantage of our Hosted Desktop Service to avoid the worry of upgrading operating systems manually as we offer a seamless transition to new software and Microsoft updates, removing the threat of insecure and outdated software.

Hosted Desktop could save you up to 40% on traditional IT operating costs when considering servers, software, licensing, maintenance and support costs.
