Cloud computing technology has changed the way IT works. From servers to data storage systems, all your virtual information can immediately be saved on the cloud. You can also lift the desktop off your personal computer and place it in the cloud. When you host your desktop in the cloud, you can connect to the exact same desktop through any Internet enabled device from anywhere globally. In laymans terms, the desktop of your computer is not restricted to an individual device.

How does it work?

A hosted desktop operates from the cloud. When you use your keyboard, the keystrokes are relayed to the cloud and the respective images are sent back to the display screen of the device you are working with.

However, because all these activities take place very fast, you do not notice any difference in your experience when you work on a hosted desktop when compared with using a device specific desktop.

Also, when you host your desktop on the cloud, you can connect to it through any Internet enabled device, be it a notebook, mobile phone, tablet or a workstation.

Can hosted desktops work with slow Internet connections?

The beauty of hosted desktops is that their effectiveness is not entirely subject to the performance of your Internet connection. The rationale is that only graphics, and not the size of data represented in those graphics, are relayed via the web and to the display of your device.

In the event that you are working on an excel document of one hundred kilobytes, the hosted desktop system does'nt transmit all that data. It selects a kind of snapshot or a static picture of the file and sends out only the image that is much lower than 100 kilobytes in overall size.

Given that large amounts of data are not being communicated, a modestly fast connection also works effectively. If you use a 3G smartphone or tab, you can very conveniently work with it to get access to your hosted desktop.

Are cloud systems secure?

Security threats are just about null because the system does not broadcast the actual information. Hackers can not hack into the information when the transmission takes place. Desktops hosted on the internet are extremely protected.

Hosted desktops have become popular nowadays since they make it easy for a standard delivery system for all the employees involved in a project. They strengthen team work. In addition, they are very useful in business continuity, scaling with your needs and expenditure control.
