Hosted Desktops

Secure, high-performance virtual desktops powered by Azure Virtual Desktop or Citrix, accessible from any device.

Hosted Desktops.

Hosted desktops give your team access to a full Windows desktop environment from any device, anywhere - without the need for expensive hardware or complex VPN configurations. Whether your staff work from the office, from home, or on the move, hosted desktops provide a consistent, secure, and high-performance experience.

Coffee Cup Solutions deploys hosted desktop solutions using Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, and Citrix - three of the most trusted platforms in the industry. We design your virtual desktop environment to match your specific needs, from lightweight desktops for basic office tasks to high-performance configurations for CAD, design, or data-intensive applications.

All data stays in the cloud, never on the local device, which significantly reduces security risk from lost or stolen laptops. Combined with multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and centralised management, hosted desktops offer enterprise-grade security without enterprise-grade complexity.

Yes. Hosted desktops can be accessed from virtually any device with a web browser, including older laptops, thin clients, tablets, and Chromebooks. This can significantly reduce hardware refresh costs.

Hosted desktop pricing is typically per-user per-month, covering compute, storage, management, and support. We design solutions to balance performance and cost, and you can scale users up or down as needed.
