What is a Hosted Desktop (DaaS)?

Posted on November 24, 2021

Businesses all over the UK are now using Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) for all their data requirements. But what actually is a hosted desktop and how does it work?

DaaS securely delivers your virtual desktop from the cloud to any location or device. All your workforce needs is an internet connection to access the desktop – Citadel will do the rest. Your workers are then able to view all their files anywhere they go.

So how will this benefit your business now that we’re in a COVID-19 world?

During the current global pandemic, many businesses have switched over to a hosted desktop. This is because DaaS gives workers the flexibility to work from anywhere. Remote working has become the centre of attention for businesses during COVID-19 due to the enforcement of lockdown by the government. A hosted desktop means that workers can have a seamless integration into home working as it’s so easy to implement for them. Employee safety is ensured as there’s no need for an employee to be physically at work when they’ve got all they need at home on their own device.

This is why DaaS is one of the best business continuity solutions to implement during the current pandemic.

Why choose Citadel for your hosted desktop solutions?

• Full support available to you
• Unrivalled security – your data is safe
• We back up your data
• Powerful performance
• Simple user management – easy to use
• Flexible work location and hours
• Saves money and time

TESTIMONIALS

Client Reviews

speech mark

“Citadel have been a much valued and supportive partner to Beaumont Textiles for many years and are unfailingly helpful. A measure of any partner is when things go wrong and a few weeks back Martin at Citadel reacted incredibly to a business-critical issue for us, that was not “His” problem. Great stuff”

Managing Director
Beaumont Textiles Limited, Chorley, Lancashire.

“We chose Citadel as our new IT partner at the end of 2022 as we were dissatisfied with our previous provider and therefore, decided that a local and more accessible IT partner would be ideal. The decision was vindicated, as Citadel have been extremely responsive to any of our requirements and they have guided us seamlessly on our journey to the cloud without any fuss and disruption, a great local IT provider and a great team to work with.”

“Citadel has provided IT support to TSA for the last 13 years, during that time their service has been and continues to be exceptional. Citadels hosted platform is extremely reliable with routine upgrades and development, advisors are knowledgeable, friendly and quick to answer any questions or deal with any issues. I would highly recommend their services.”

“Citadel has allowed us to remove a large, bulky server creating more storage and allowing us to focus on what is important rather than IT. Throughout the pandemic, the continuous and ease of use from different work environments was vital and still is now, as for certain members of staff we have introduced hybrid working.”

“I would just like to say how pleasant and polite Ben is whenever I have a problem. I am near retirement age and anything technical is quite daunting for me. He is always reassuring and helpful I think compliment should be said when due.”
