VIRTUAL DESKTOP – WHAT IS IT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

March 15, 2016 by Jon Klubnik
Category: General

A virtual desktop is a hosting service that allows you to access your desktop through the Internet.

You log into your Virtual Desktop with a personal ID and password on any Internet-connected device through a web browser or app. Your data and desktop operating system are kept on a secure server in a data center.

When you are logged in, your desktop operates and appears on your screen just like a traditional desktop, and will contain the same programs, features, and icons that you are used to, on your device of choice.

You can easily upload your files to the remote servers, where they will be saved and backed up, and will be returned to you when you no longer need the service.  You can continue to save your files on the Virtual Desktop, just as you had before, but now they can easily be shared between locations and multiple users.

Many companies prefer to use a Virtual Desktop because they are low maintenance, more secure, and can be implemented for as long as you need.
