Been with Your Office Anywhere for 6 years now and they have always provided first class functionality and support. On the odd occasions we need support we always manage to speak with a knowledgeable person who ensures that our query is resolved properly, rather than just handing us off with generic answers. Highly recommended for anyone needing remote desktops
We have been really happy with using Your Office Anywhere for several years. It has made it easy to share our database with different users without the headache of having to convert it to work on a different system. Very occasionally we had a issue, but it was dealt with quickly.
The initial setup took a few weeks to commence but afterwards we had no complaints. Overall great service and email support.
If you’re looking for a Remote Desktop solution these guys are the mutts! We sell a PC based software and YOA’s service allows our users to host that in the cloud and access it anywhere. Our users love it, and we value the service YOA give our users, and they’re certainly way more proactive than other Remote Desktop providers some of our users use. Highly recommended. If you’re in the fence about who to use, it’s Your Office Anywhere.
When our lumpy Sage accounts file got too big for our rural broadband six years ago we were fortunate to find YOA. They have given an excellent service ever since. No hesitation in recommending them.
Very excellent customer support and service. Great value for money. Enjoying the partnership and would recommend this service to others without hesitation.
We were very lucky to find YOA in our cloud computing google search over 10 years ago and have been working with them ever since. Throughout this period they have always been there to support our needs. They offer a level of personal service that I haven't come across with any of our other partners. Whenever we need help, the YOA team is always there to help us and do that very quickly. Apart from great service, YOA has always stood head and shoulders above everyone else for the value for money that they deliver. In the current environment where everyone seems to be putting their prices up, YOA is again the standout partner that is absorbing price increases without passing them onto us. If you have any remote computing needs, get in touch with Cardium, I am certain they will exceed your expectations.
Excellent service! We had a urgent need for an alternative to the diabolical Sage drive and very thankfully came across YOA. They have served us brilliantly. Very helpful and cheerful staff. Would 100% recommend!
the best IT team in the world!!! Can't beat it. Everyone knows their stuff and results are always delivered swift! Dealing with the guys for years and they have never - ever - let us down! and you may not realise - but it's great value for money IT dream team
An enormous thank you to YourOfficeAnywhere for always providing such an excellent and - importantly - consistent service!
The team went above and beyond to set a server up for a bespoke piece of software for us. The software wouldn't run on their standard servers, so they happily set up a custom solution for us. Great communication throughout. Top Marks.
I think Cardium provides value for money and very responsive to clients which is always a good thing.

THE DETAIL
What is a Hosted Desktop?
What is a Hosted Desktop?
A hosted desktop is a cloud based computer running Windows desktop applications. It is hosted in the providers data centre to make it accessible over the internet to enable multiple users to work on shared applications and data regardless of where they are located or what device they use.
How does a Hosted Desktop run?
A Hosted Desktop is commonly run on a Windows server based operating system which has a familiar look and feel to people used to working on a Windows PC. Hosted Desktops are accessed using a Remote Desktop “Client” application such as: Microsoft Terminal Services Client, Microsoft Remote Desktop Client or other 3rd party applications such as Ericom Blaze. Remote Desktop software is available for most operating systems so the hosted desktop can be accessed from a wide range of devices including Windows PCs, Tablets, Mac, iOS (iPads, iPhones) and Android tablets and phones.
Hosted Desktops – How providers operate
Hosted Desktop providers typically operate from secure industry standard data centres which provide the security and resilience expected by enterprise class organisations but are shared across hundreds or thousands of individual customers, all benefiting from the economies of scale. Hosted Desktops often have features including: multiple Internet connections for resilience; multiple power supplies into the data centre, with diesel generators to cover power cuts and battery UPS to cover the transition. Other security measures will included 24hr security, CCTV, fire, smoke and flood detection and secure building entry control measures
Characteristics of a Hosted Desktop
Hosted Desktops were designed as a solution to improve application sharing across multiple sites, remote working and the ability to scale up or down easily. They are also an easy and simple route into IT outsourcing.
A Hosted Desktop platform usually includes all the surrounding infrastructure and support services needed to securely connect over the Internet. This will include user authentication, digital certificates to encrypt communication, backups of data and operating systems as well as anti-virus, Windows updates and general server support.
A Hosted Desktop may also be found under other names including: Hosted Remote Desktops, Hosted Terminal Servers, Hosted Remote Desktop Servers, Cloud Desktops or Hosted VDI.
Hosted Desktop Pricing
Pricing for hosted desktops is usually on a per user basis often with an initial monthly charge for the first desktop application which will also include any Microsoft Licences such as Windows Server CALs (Client Access Licences) and Remote Desktop CALs.
Additional products or services can then be added as required including additional resources (memory, CPU), extra storage and also additional services such as SQL Server instances or web servers. Providers can also include licences for other Microsoft products including Microsoft Office, Project or Visio, mostly these will be offered under the Service Provider Licence Agreement (SPLA) licencing model but also some Enterprise plans of Office 365. Some providers base their pricing on the actual resources required e.g. x GB of Memory. Others offer a more managed service where the customer doesn’t need to know the technicalities of the service only what applications and how many users.
What do virtual desktops do?
Virtual desktops run operating systems like Windows separate from physical hardware like PCs or servers. This means the Windows desktop isn’t tied to a specific location and can be accessed remotely over a local network or the internet. Virtual desktops give users more flexibility, resilience, and security.
Hosted desktops are a form of Virtual Desktop that are managed and supported by the hosted desktop provider and run from hardware in the providers data centre. Being virtual they can be moved from one physical computer to another in the event of a hardware failure.
What is a virtual desktop used for?
Many applications need to be installed on a desktop PC to run, unlike those that run in a browser. By using a virtual desktop users can run these desktop application “in the cloud” and access them from anywhere and also from non-Windows devices like Macs, iPad or Android devices.
