Core IT

Hosted Desktop & Azure Virtual Desktop

Secure cloud desktops your team can use from anywhere — perfect for hybrid working, contractors and BYOD.

The Problem

Hybrid working makes traditional office IT painful — VPNs are slow, laptops get lost, and keeping line-of-business apps and data secure across personal devices is a constant battle.

How CLD Computers Helps

We deploy Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 Cloud PCs so your team logs into a full Windows desktop from any device — Mac, Windows, iPad, Chromebook. Data and apps stay in Microsoft's UK data centres, with MFA and Conditional Access enforced. Great for accountants, law firms, and any business with legacy apps or contractor access.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365?+
Windows 365 gives each user a dedicated Cloud PC at a fixed monthly price — simple. Azure Virtual Desktop is multi-session and consumption-billed — more flexible and often cheaper at scale, but needs more management. We help pick the right fit.
Can we run our legacy accounting or CRM software on it?+
Yes — that's one of the main reasons businesses adopt hosted desktops. Legacy apps that hate VPNs or modern Windows run perfectly on a centrally-managed cloud desktop.
Where is the data hosted?+
Microsoft's UK South and UK West Azure regions, keeping data inside the UK for GDPR and data residency requirements.
