What is a hosted desktop?

A hosted desktop looks and acts exactly like a traditional PC.  However instead of residing locally, all software and data are housed in remoteLOGIC’s state-of-the-art datacenters.  Customers can choose from a Windows 2008 Terminal Server operating environment or individual Windows Vista desktops based on their application’s requirements.

A remoteLOGIC Hosted Desktop resides in a purpose built computing environment with 24/7 air conditioning and fully redundant generator backed power supply ensuring high availability of your critical applications.

Hosted Desktops are securely accessed from the office or home via the internet or a dedicated VPN connection on a range of devices including PCs, PDAs, and even the iPhone.
