Learn More About Hosted Virtual Desktop Services

What are Hosted Virtual Desktops?

A hosted virtual desktop (HVD) is a "Desktop as a Service" (DaaS) where the platform and applications are hosted on the service provider's server. A desktop instance creates a virtual machine on the host's server, from which an end user may access the operating system and applications ideally in a way indistinguishable from if they were installed locally on the end user's machine.

Hosted virtual desktops have a number of benefits for the businesses that use them. The first is that the business doesn’t have to handle storage and security. This is particularly valuable for smaller businesses that take in a lot of sensitive data but don’t have the resources to store or secure it locally. Additionally, hosted virtual desktops allow users to access their desktop anywhere since the entire solution is cloud-based.

Hosted Virtual Desktop Features & Capabilities

The following features are common in hosted virtual desktop solutions:

  • Cloud desktop access
  • Managed storage
  • Managed backup
  • Managed upgrades
  • High availability

Hosted Virtual Desktop Comparison

When selecting a virtual desktop solution, you should consider what data features are most important to you. The biggest differentiator between each solution will be storage and security features. If you aren’t storing sensitive data, you may be able to go with a cheaper solution, while if you need to meet high compliance requirements, a more expensive hosted virtual desktop solution may be appropriate.

You should also consider how the storage solutions offered by each virtual desktop option integrate with your existing IT infrastructure.

Hosted Virtual Desktop Pricing

Pricing for hosted virtual desktops is based on a per user per month basis. Businesses should expect to pay at least $10.00 per user per month, with that rate increasing as more features, or higher security are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What businesses benefit most for hosted virtual desktop?

Small businesses in the tech space can benefit greatly from hosted virtual desktop solutions. Hosted virtual desktops enable these businesses to achieve high storage and security requirements without building the infrastructure themselves.

Do hosted virtual desktops offer equal performance to local desktops?

Hosted virtual desktops are designed to offer indistinguishable performance from traditional desktops. That said, poor connection, or using particularly demanding apps can cause users to notice a difference. For most business applications, however, users won’t notice a difference.

Are hosted virtual desktops more secure than local desktops?

Hosted virtual desktops are not necessarily more secure than local desktops. That said, they tend to be supported by large tech companies with a wide variety of resources for securing your data. Larger businesses that can build this infrastructure themselves can still achieve high security for their data without hosted virtual desktops.
