Implementing a virtual desktop moves your desktop to a computer or server that resides in the cloud or on any device other than your own. A growing number of virtual desktops are hosted, where a cloud-based service provider maintains your desktop on their server and then makes it accessible to you through your Internet connection. What you see on your computer or device when you log on is actually an image of your desktop that is being sent to you from the host in the cloud.

Key characteristics of virtual desktop:

Multi-User Virtual Desktop – new desktops can be easily cloned for additional users in a fraction of the time
Virtual Desktop Access – can be accessed from any computer
or location across a basic Internet connection
Device Independent – access through any device that can connect to the Internet and has modest browsing capabilities
Centralized Management – management of all software, backups, security
and other maintenance functions can be centralized, handled by the host company.
Redundant Hosting – high-quality hosting offers multiple server locations for redundancy, accessibility, backup and recovery

There are many benefits to implementing a virtual desktop:
