The ins and outs of hosted desktops
7th May 2021
The concept of a hosted desktop seems simple enough, but there can still be some confusion over what it all means and what the benefits are for your business. To help you decide whether it's the best solution for you, we've covered the ins and outs of hosted desktop services below and why they're so important in the working world today.
What is a hosted desktop?
A hosted desktop is a computer desktop that can be accessed remotely and virtually via the internet. Using virtualisation technology, your computer desktop is separated from your physical computer and stored remotely for you to access from other devices.
As long as you have a reliable internet connection, a hosted desktop is accessible from almost anywhere in the world without sacrificing the efficiency and accessibility of your computer. What's more, they come with built-in security features, so no matter where you are or what device you are using, you can rest assured you're protected against viruses, ransomware and malware attacks.
Why is a hosted desktop important and useful?
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of people that have resorted to remote working during this unprecedented time has significantly increased. Hosted desktops are vital for a successful remote working environment as all of your important files, programs and documents are still easily accessible to you via a hosted desktop as well as your emails, business data and Microsoft Office applications.
Hosted desktops are proven to increase your working productivity too due to the ease of access they provide - they are also extremely secure and safe to use. For all businesses, hosted desktops can be instrumental to attaining a simplified workspace with successful operation from varying locations. There is also a significant decrease in IT hardware and maintenance required for those operating on hosted desktops.
