IT Hosting for Manufacturers

Access your desktop and applications from anywhere with remote access systems.

Introducing Virtual Desktop

Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop) is a cloud-based virtualisation service that enables organisations to host Windows desktops and applications on Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform.

With Azure Virtual Desktop, users can securely access their virtualised desktops and applications from any device with an internet connection, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices.

The service provides a flexible and scalable solution for businesses of all sizes. Businesses can easily manage and deploy virtual desktops and applications while minimising infrastructure costs and improving productivity.

Azure Virtual Desktop also includes advanced security features, such as multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and network isolation, to help ensure the protection of sensitive data and prevent unauthorised access.

What Are The Benefits Of A Virtual Desktop?

Azure Virtual Desktop gives a seamless Windows 11 experience on any internet connected device. Users get the same computing experience with full access to their Microsoft 365 products.

Stay Online

Don’t rely on your own office power, internet, and backup solution to keep your remote desktop system running. Take advantage of Microsoft’s secure and always online data centre.

Scale Quickly

If you need more users to work remotely, or undergo rapid expansion, we can quickly add more resources with no need to buy additional complex hardware.

Be Secure

Azure Virtual Desktop is hosted in Microsoft’s secure datacentres. Help secure your employee and company data by storing it there rather than on local devices.
