Find answers about the modern workplace, virtual desktops, and end user computing.

What is a virtual desktop and how does it work?

A virtual desktop is your personal computer moved online. It's hosted on a powerful server and accessed over the internet from any device, anywhere. This flexibility makes it a winner for remote work or job roles not bound to a physical location.

Virtual desktops also have major security benefits. With data stored centrally, IT teams can better safeguard information and swiftly roll out updates.

Additionally, virtual desktops are cost-efficient. Instead of buying and maintaining top-tier machines for everyone, you can use more budget-friendly devices and let the server handle the heavy lifting.

In a nutshell, a virtual desktop offers a flexible, secure, and cost-effective computing solution that's ideal for the modern workplace.

How do I set up a virtual desktop?

Setting up a virtual desktop includes a series of steps, and may vary depending on the solution you choose. Let's break it down:

1. Choose a virtual desktop solution

You'll find several providers, like Microsoft with its Windows 365 Cloud PC service, VMware with its Horizon platform, or Citrix with its Virtual Apps and Desktops service.

2. Set up your infrastructure

This will depend on the provider you choose. For instance, this may involve configuration of your backend infrastructure, configuring servers, installing software, and creating the required network infrastructure.

3. Configure your virtual desktop

This involves creating a master image, which includes the operating system, applications, and settings you want each desktop to have.

4. Assign desktops to users

Upon configuring your desktops, you can assign them to end users. Each user will get access to a virtual desktop, which they can log into using their credentials.

5. Set up the right access

As a last step, you'll need to make sure users can access their desktops. This involves installing some client software on the user's device. Users may be able to access their virtual desktops directly from a web browser.

Recap: the steps may differ depending on the solution you choose, and the setup of your environment. You may consider working with an IT service provider to guarantee that everything is secure and set up correctly.
