Your desktop computers in the cloud
For years, businesses have been absorbing the cost of putting a PC on every desk, giving employees a machine with moving parts that can break and software that can be corrupted not to mention allowing each employee to act like their own administrator, downloading or installing things that can be very damaging to a business. Consequently, PCs are unreliable, difficult to secure, and expensive to maintain in a business environment.
Although the initial price of the PC remains low, Gartner estimates the average TCO "Total Cost of Ownership" at $4500.00 over a 3-4 year lifespan. Larger companies hire dedicated staff to deal with these problems, and the smaller ones outsource the computer support, but what does the small to medium business owner do?
These businesses cannot afford a large IT staff or expensive consultants to keep their systems working but they also cannot afford to have their computer systems fail. Caught between a rock and a hard place, many businesses just muddle through with substandard performance, inadequate security and the ongoing threat of a catastrophic loss of data from computer failure or ransomware.
There is a better way!

How does it work
Simply access your operating system and data housed in our solar powered data center remotely from a small terminal at your location. Organizations with branch offices, remote workers, or offsite facilities can be managed and their desktop environments standardized, where backups, upgrades, and complete maintenance is performed by us from our data center.
Complete desktop and laptop environments are encapsulated inside virtual machines and maintained in our data center where it is safe and secure. Moreover, if a terminal is stolen, there is no data stored on the stolen hardware, we just ship you a new one and you're up and running in no time, with no data loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?#
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) Is a cloud offering where a virtual desktop is delivered to an end user over the internet, often licensed with a per-user subscription. We take care of the backend management and infrastructure.
What are the advantages of Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?#
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) offers clear advantages over a traditional desktop model.
- Deploying or decommissioning active end users is much faster and less expensive. The desktop is already configured, and simply needs to be connected to a new device. There is no need for individual PC setups.
- Increased device flexibility. DaaS runs on a variety of operating systems and device types, which allows employers to offer a variety of devices to employees.
- Enhanced Security. Data is stored in the data center with DaaS, so security risks are considerably lower. If a laptop or mobile device is stolen it can simply be disconnected from service without risk of a thief accessing sensitive data. Additionally, security patches and updates are much easier to install and manage in a DaaS environment because all the desktops can be updated simultaneously from a remote location.
- Cost savings. The workstations needed to operate DaaS require far less computing power than a traditional machine—thus, they are less expensive.
- Continue with premise-based software if you need. Not all companies are able to transition to a fully browser-based (or SaaS) model of doing business. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) allows you to continue using applications that you need to host and access from the desktop.
How does Desktop as a Service (DaaS) Work?#
We hosts the infrastructure, network resources, and storage in the cloud and streams a virtual desktop to the user's device. Your users can access the desktop's data and applications.
What is the difference between DaaS and VDI?#
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Desktop as a Service (DaaS) are often interchangeably used terms, but they are not the same. Traditional VDI environments present some hefty challenges. There are significant infrastructure costs, complex licensing requirements, and a high level of management expertise is required.
On the other hand DaaS requires virtually no upfront infrastructure costs, can be purchased in a simple subscription model, is often managed by a vendor, and offers an "anywhere" presence that VDI can't compete with.
DaaS will keep your organization more lean and focused with predictable costs.
Who should use Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?#
DaaS is great for any organization that:
- Uses applications or integrated tools that require a premise-style hosting of the apps
- Wants to offer a solution for employees that is both flexible and secure
- Has aging IT infrastructure or aging workstations and needs a modern solution and doesn't want to deal with buying new computers every few years
- Doesn't want to worry about data loss or theft
- Requires collaboration with other team members on documents that contain sensitive or confidential information
NOTE: This type of PC solution is NOT recommended for gaming. This is recommended for the light to medium CPU/Graphics intense applications, and does not support a CD-ROM/DVD drive or CD/DVD burning.
