Virtual Desktops

Making hybrid working work

As your business expands and hybrid working becomes the norm, the workplace must be resilient, secure and reliable.


Virtual desktops

Powered by our own cloud platform, Truly Cloud, we offer your business a flexible working environment that matches modern-day computing needs. We use the best hardware and software, utilizing Horizon View, Low latency switching, Lenovo Servers outfitted with NVidia GPUs, and the very best storage available.

Gone are the days of being tied to a specific computer or location. Whether you're at home, in the office, or on the go, virtual desktops ensure that you have the same familiar desktop experience across all your devices. No more worrying about transferring files or syncing data manually – everything is stored securely in the cloud, ready to be accessed whenever you need it.


How Does It Work?


Empower your team to work wherever they want, however they want, with the ultimate high-performance flexible solution. With just a few clicks, you and your team can have their entire desktop, including all of their applications and data, available on any device with an internet connection.

Working Trends

'Research has shown companies that embrace flexible working can attract more talent, improve staff motivation and reduce staff turnover – boosting their business’s productivity and competitiveness.' according to the Government website.

The beauty of virtual desktops lies in their flexibility and scalability. Need to collaborate with a colleague on a project whilst working remotely? You can both work on the same files in real time, regardless of your physical location. It's like having a virtual office that you can carry with you wherever you go, offering true hybrid working. Not only that, working remotely means you don't have the daily commute to worry about, meaning you can create a better work life balance for your team. Remember, a team of remote workers is just as productive as one that uses office spaces as long as you arm them with reliable, stress-free IT to allow them to get on with their job without facing unnecessary IT issues. Face-to-face time with your team members is equally as important, which is why agile working gives you the choice to do both. Whether your team work full-time, part-time or condensed work hours - everyone can benefit from an agile working environment. Virtual desktops benefit both employers and employees no matter what your working week looks like.

Their Story …


Speed with substance

rocket

Speed and reliability are crucial for a distributed workforce which is why we engineered our solutions to have the substance you would expect, but with powerful speed capabilities that maybe you wouldn't.  Have you heard of a GPU? (Graphics Processing Unit) chances are you haven't.   Essentially, it is a specialised processor designed to accelerate graphics speeds, which in turn boosts the overall performance of your VDI.  Some businesses believe GPU's are only needed by organisations using CAD/CAM as they rely heavily on having powerful computing capabilities - however, recent research shows that everyone can benefit from having super-boosted processing speeds;

"because many modern workloads are also becoming increasingly resource-intensive, they’re turning to GPU-powered virtual desktop systems to support their remote workers."

The best part is that GPUs come as standard with all our solutions, including our virtual desktops: no hidden charges, just exceptional performance to give you the best experience with your everyday computing.


Security is key

Security is our top priority with Truly Cloud's virtual desktops. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, ensuring that only authorised users can access it. Regular backups and robust security measures also protect your files from any potential threats or data loss. You can rest easy knowing that your sensitive information is in safe hands.

Hackers are generally in systems for days, if not months, before they actually execute their attack. Due to this, we offer protection for lateral movement, ransomware encryption, credential theft and malicious activity detection to find their activity before they execute their attack.
