Virtual Desktop is a new way of computing made possible by the ubiquity of the Internet and advancements such as virtualization. Basically, we host your mission-critical applications and data in our world-class facility.  We monitor, maintain, and upgrade your applications so that you can focus on your core business rather than on maintaining your own servers and network. We install a small program on your computer called the Remote Desktop Connection. It allows you to securely access your programs and data remotely. In other words, you have a computer desktop which is actually on another machine, thus making it “virtual.”
