A Hosted Cloud Desktop is a type of Hosted Desktop in which your operating system, data, and applications are stored and maintained in the cloud by the service provider. Therefore, rather than managing, licencing and dealing with all of the hassle, with a Hosted Cloud Desktop, you pay a monthly fee and leave the maintenance and technical services to the Hosted Desktop Service provider. You are still able to access your desktop, which is very flexible as it can be accessed from any modern device with an internet connection, anywhere.
Having a Hosted Cloud Desktop may improve your job by providing you with high-quality processing power, memory, storage capacity and network bandwidth capacity, all of which contribute to your workplace's efficiency. Furthermore, due to the cloud's frequent backups and many levels of system security, the cloud is also very secure; however, with a traditional desktop, if a laptop or computer is taken, the data on it becomes exposed and accessible to anyone. However, data is not kept on any one computer using a Hosted Cloud Desktop, so it can be simply and remotely erased if a device is misplaced or hacked. It simplifies the handling of security breaches and possibly minimises their impact significantly, improving a workplace’s efficiency and security.
