Hosted Desktop

Imagine if your computer wasn’t actually tied to a physical machine…if you could log in (anytime, anywhere, using any device) and see your same desktop! Thanks to a hosted desktop cloud computing solution, you can do just that!

At Waypoint, we have extensive experience with cloud computing and hosted desktops. We can set up the hosted desktop solution that you need, one that will transform the way you work and collaborate.

What Is A Hosted Desktop

With a hosted desktop, your entire computer desktop (files, programs, settings, and more) is on a remote server that you can access over the internet.

All of your data is securely stored in the cloud, and your desktop looks and works like a normal Windows or Mac desktop. The hosted desktop can be accessed from any device (e.g. PC, Mac, tablet, or phone) as long as you have internet access.

A hosted desktop makes it easy – and secure – for people to work from home, from remote locations, and/or while they’re traveling.

What Can You Do On A Hosted Desktop

On a hosted desktop, you can typically do all of the tasks that you would do on a regular desktop, including:

• access company files and folders
• send and receive email
• use business software
• run office applications (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Google docs, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, and Adobe Acrobat)

Benefits Of A Hosted Desktop

There are a number of benefits to using a hosted desktop.

Same Desktop On Every Device: The main benefit of a hosted desktop is that you get the same desktop, files, and programs, ho matter where you are or which device you’re using.

Work From Anywhere: The ability to access your full desktop from any location makes a hosted desktop the ideal solution for remote work, travel, and multiple office locations.

Improved Security: With hosted desktops, data is stored in secure data centers (not on local machines), which reduces the risk of data loss or breaches. And if a laptop is stolen or lost, the data on it remains safe.

Lower Hardware Costs: Even older computers or basic devices can access a hosted desktop, so you don’t need to buy powerful computers for each employee or continually invest in upgrades and the latest equipment.

Business Continuity: Thanks to hosted desktop, your business can keep running even if an office computer fails, a local power outage occurs, or a disaster impacts your office.

Scalability: Scalability becomes easy with hosted desktops! You can increase storage and performance, without buying new hardware. And you can easily add or remove users as your business changes.
