What is a Hosted Desktop?

Your Desktop Lives in Our Cloud. You Access It From Anywhere.

A hosted desktop is a complete Windows environment – your applications, your files, your settings – running on our servers rather than on a physical computer at your desk. You connect to it over the internet from any device: a laptop, a tablet, a home PC, even a smartphone.

From your point of view, it looks and behaves exactly like a normal Windows desktop. The difference is that it’s always available, always backed up and always managed by us – on infrastructure you never have to touch.

Works on any device including:

Windows laptops and PCs
Mac computers
iPads and tablets
iOS and Android phones
Thin clients and Chromebooks
Any internet-connected device

Why businesses switch to hosted desktops

End of the office-only working model
Staff work from home, client sites or anywhere else with exactly the same desktop experience they’d have at their desk.
No more expensive hardware refresh cycles
Old or low-powered machines become thin clients. The processing power lives in the cloud, not the device.
Data never sits on a laptop that can be lost
Everything lives centrally in our secure UK data centres. A lost laptop is an inconvenience, not a data breach.
Add or remove users in minutes
Onboard a new team member instantly. Remove an ex-employee’s access the moment they leave. No IT visit required.

Why This Matters

Hosted on Our Own Private UK Cloud. Not Amazon. Not Microsoft. Ours.

Many “cloud” services are just resold capacity from AWS, Azure or Google. When you use those, your data could be sitting anywhere in the world, subject to foreign laws, shared infrastructure and terms that can change overnight.

Blowfish Technology hosts everything on our own privately owned infrastructure, located entirely within the UK. That means you know exactly where your data is, it’s subject only to UK law, and it sits on hardware we own and manage ourselves.

UK Sovereign Cloud Benefits

Full GDPR Compliance

Your data never crosses UK borders. No Schrems II concerns, no adequacy decision uncertainty, no complex data transfer agreements.

Sector Compliance Ready

Ideal for finance, legal, healthcare and public sector organisations where data sovereignty is a contractual or regulatory requirement.

ISO 27001 Certified Infrastructure

Our data centres hold ISO 27001 certification – the international gold standard for information security management.

No Hyperscaler Lock-In

You’re not dependent on AWS or Azure pricing changes. Fixed, predictable monthly costs on infrastructure we own outright.

What You Get

Everything Included as Standard

?️

Full Windows Desktop

A complete Windows environment with your chosen applications pre-installed and ready. Access it from a browser or a lightweight client – it behaves exactly like a desktop PC, just faster and always up to date.
?

Automated Daily Backups

Your entire desktop environment is backed up automatically every day and retained for 30 days. Accidentally deleted a file three weeks ago? We can get it back.
?

Enterprise Security Built In

Multi-factor authentication, encrypted connections, firewall protection and antivirus are all included and managed by us. Security that would cost tens of thousands to replicate in-house, included in your monthly fee.

Instant Scalability

Add a new user and they’re set up the same day. Remove a leaver and their access is revoked instantly. No hardware to buy, no engineer visit required, no waiting.
?️

Fully Managed by Blowfish

Updates, patches, monitoring and support are all handled by our team. One call to us covers everything – the same team that manages your wider IT, now managing your cloud desktop too.

Who It’s For

Hosted Desktops Work Particularly Well For

Hybrid and Remote Teams

Staff working from home, client sites or multiple offices all get an identical experience. No VPNs, no sync issues, no “it works in the office but not at home.”

Professional Services Firms

Accountancy, legal, financial services and consultancy businesses that handle sensitive data and need everything secure, compliant and accessible from anywhere.

Businesses Replacing Ageing Hardware

Instead of a costly hardware refresh, old machines become thin clients. The processing power moves to the cloud and old PCs get years of extra life.

Growing Businesses

Onboard a new employee the same day they start – desktop ready, applications installed, access configured. Scale up and down without IT lead times.

Regulated Industries

Finance, healthcare and legal organisations that need provable data sovereignty, audit trails and infrastructure that meets compliance requirements by design.

Businesses With Legacy Software

If you rely on older Windows applications that won’t run on modern hardware or operating systems, a hosted desktop keeps them alive, fast and accessible.
