GoCloud hosted desktops help IT companies grow by giving them the freedom to work from anywhere.
When a GoCloud hosted desktop infrastructure is installed across your workforce, all of your staff benefit from it right away.
Whilst your IT specialists will enjoy a fast, smooth and bug-free experience, other departments such as Finance can complete their daily, weekly and monthly tasks much more quickly.
In fact, it’s amazing how the agility of hosted desktops can change the way you run your business, as employees can get work done from anywhere rather than having to stick to their office computer.
That means that any PC, Mac, Linux machine, laptop, iPad,
iPhone, Android or Blackberry device can be transformed into a
fully functioning mobile workspace.
Whilst the ability to work from home as smoothly as in the office is a very tempting feature, we’re here to help you understand the full scope of remote working.
Imagine your sales reps having access to absolutely everything they need when visiting a prospective client, your payroll staff being able to schedule in annual leave right there and then when a co-worker asks them in the staff room, and your customer service team having the option to deliver first-rate support from any device with an internet connection.
Meanwhile, company directors and managers have their entire desktop experience at their fingertips even when they’re away from the premises.
This means that whether you’re having a meeting elsewhere,
attending an event, delivering a presentation or simply
commuting to work, you can get work done more effectively than
ever before.

A hosted desktop is a Windows desktop containing your applications, which you use to access your files and data from. Files can be stored on a hosted file server, data can be on a database server such as SQL Server. Our hosted desktop service comes with the desktops, file server and a firewall, all dedicated to you and not shared with other customers.
No. Customers can use any PC, Mac or Linux machine to connect to their hosted desktop. One of the initial cost-savings is the ability to continue to use existing PCs. As the processing power, memory, and storage are provided by our servers, customers are even able to use older PCs that would be unable to run a new Operating System themselves, thereby extending their working lives and ROI. Alternatively, you may decide to supply thin clients, to further enhance the benefits of moving to a hosted desktop environment. Thin clients are physically smaller PCs; they cost less than a normal PC (aka a "fat client"), and use a lot less energy. Of course, as a hybrid measure they may opt to simply replace existing computers with thin clients as they begin to fail. Hosted desktops will also work on laptops, tablet devices such as the iPad and smartphones such as the iPhone.
Firstly, we recommend using a backup internet service if required, such as ADSL or a dongle if mobile. Secondly, if you lose your connection to your hosted desktop, when you regain your connection, your desktop is exactly as you left it, with all applications and data intact.
