Azure Virtual Desktop

The use of virtualised desktops has greatly increased over the past year, with more UK businesses than ever increasing their remote working capabilities and investing in new technologies to ensure secure remote working. Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly Windows Virtual Desktop) provides access to a fully personalised desktop from anywhere, for flexible, secure remote working.

Pros

    Shells.com

    Shells.com offers a virtual cloud computer that can be accessed from any web-enabled device. As we offer multiple Linux distributions or Windows preloaded on the virtual desktop, it gives the user the opportunity to use the operating system that they want on the device that they want. This is great for new users who would like to give Linux a test run without having to install on their hardware or for developers who would like to test and deploy all on one device. Schools and businesses can rapidly deploy computers and phones to those who need them at a low-cost.
