A private cloud-hosted desktop is a virtual version of your regular desktop that runs from a secure, private cloud environment. It gives you full access to your files, apps and settings from any device, anywhere. Because it’s hosted in the cloud, you don’t need to worry about physical hardware or on-site servers. It’s a reliable and secure way to keep your business connected and productive at all times.
Using a cloud-hosted desktop makes it easier for your team to work from anywhere without sacrificing performance or security. It reduces the need for local IT support and keeps your systems consistent across all users. You get a centralised setup, cost savings, and easier management, which all help your business run more smoothly. It’s especially useful for companies with remote teams, multiple locations, or flexible work environments.
Yes, a secure cloud-hosted desktop is designed with advanced security features to protect your business. This includes encrypted connections, multi-factor authentication, regular security updates and constant monitoring for threats. Since all your data is stored safely in a UK-based data centre rather than on local devices, it’s much harder for data to be lost, stolen or compromised.
A hosted desktop gives you more flexibility and control compared to a traditional desktop setup. You can log in from any device, and your experience stays the same. Updates and backups happen automatically, so your systems are always up to date. You don’t need to worry about managing hardware or software across different machines, and if anything goes wrong, recovery is quick and simple. It’s a more modern, cost-effective way to run your IT with security as standard.
Absolutely. Your cloud desktop is built around the way your business already works. You can run all your usual applications like Microsoft 365, accounting software, CRMs and any other tools your team relies on. Your files are also right where you expect them to be. We make sure everything is set up properly so you can get to work straight away without missing a beat.
Our managed service includes everything you need to keep your hosted desktop running smoothly. We take care of setup, maintenance, updates and backups. If you ever need help, our UK-based support team is just a call away. We monitor your system around the clock to make sure it’s always secure and performing as it should. From day one, we’re here to keep things simple and stress-free.
No, your team won’t need to change how they work. A private cloud-hosted desktop is designed to fit around your existing routines. Your staff can keep using the same applications, access the same files, and follow the same processes they’re already comfortable with. The main difference is that they’ll be able to do it all from anywhere, on any device, with added security and reliability. There’s no need for retraining or major adjustments. We’ll make sure everything works smoothly so your team can carry on as usual, just with better technology behind them.
Yes, a private cloud hosted desktop does rely on internet connectivity, just like most modern business tools today. But it's important to remember that internet is already essential for almost everything we do, whether you're using cloud services or a traditional IT setup. The good news is that reliable internet is widely available, and there are simple safeguards like backup broadband or 4G/5G failover lines that can be put in place to keep your business online even if your main connection goes down. Also, even in the rare event of a full internet outage, your team can work from any other location that does have internet and if not still access essential tools like email through mobile devices, so you're not completely cut off. And realistically, if you're running a traditional on-site setup, an internet outage would cause even more disruption as you wouldn't be able to login from somewhere else. In short, with a private cloud desktop and the right connectivity in place, your business is secure, resilient, and ready to work from anywhere without missing a beat.
