Why hosted virtual desktops beat a traditional PC

Security
Traditional PC
  • Data is stored locally on the laptop/desktop.
  • If the device is lost or stolen → data risk.
  • Users may install unsafe software.
Virtual Desktop
  • Devices are just “screens”; nothing sensitive is stored locally.
  • Easier to enforce policies, MFA, encryption, and patching.
  • Instant lock/wipe without touching the physical device.
Work from Anywhere
With VHD:
  • Same desktop from office, home, hotel, or another country.
  • Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, thin clients, even Chromebooks.
  • No need to carry a heavy corporate laptop.
Cost Control
Initial cloud costs can seem higher, but:
  • No frequent hardware refresh cycles.
  • Thin clients last 6–8 years vs laptops 3–4.
  • Reduced onsite IT visits.
  • Lower risk of data-breach fines.
  • Easier scaling up/down based on staff numbers.
Centralised Management
Traditional
  • Each PC must be updated, patched, and troubleshooted individually.
  • Hardware failures cause downtime.
  • Imaging and rebuilds take time.
Virtual
  • One master image can serve hundreds of users.
  • Updates and software installs happen once.
  • Faster onboarding/offboarding.
  • If a user breaks their environment → reset in minutes.
Scalability
Scaling and staffing benefits:
  • Hire 20 new staff → spin up 20 desktops in hours.
  • Seasonal staff → scale down after peak.
  • No shipping hardware or waiting for suppliers.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

Business continuity:

  • Office burns down, flood, or power outage → staff can still work from home instantly.
  • Backups and snapshots are simpler.
  • Fast restore if ransomware hits.
  • Traditional PCs often rely on local backups or slow restores.

All customers are billed in arrears and we setup a direct debit with the customer. This is charged 15-30 days after the date of the invoice.

What happens if i loose internet connection?

Hosted Desktops are in the cloud so even if your local internet has lags or temporarily has a downtime, all your work stays in the Cloud enviornment and you can regain access and resume where you left off within 3 hours of downtime. 

Are we tied on to a long term contract

No, we understand in a fast paced office where employees leave and new ones join all the time. Therefore all hosted desktop profiles and any add-on’s have a 30 days rolling contract, You can cancel with 1 month’s notice.

How secure and compliant is my service?

A hosted desktop is actually more secure than a traditional desktop.
