What Can You Do with a Remote Desktop Server?
Create a virtual office accessible from anywhere. Run resource-intensive applications and keep your remote team productive regardless of location.
Set up isolated environments as part of a CI/CD Pipeline. Quickly create, modify, and remove development setups to accelerate your development cycle.
Keep your business running during unexpected situations. Access critical applications and data remotely to maintain operations during disruptions.
Provide standardized virtual desktops for consistent learning experiences. Ensure all students or trainees have access to the same tools and resources.
Run demanding software like CAD or video editing tools on a powerful cloud server. Work on resource-heavy projects from less powerful local machines.
Maintain a stable environment for older, business-critical applications. Keep legacy software running that may not be compatible with modern systems.
