Desktop as a Service

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud‑based solution that delivers virtual desktops securely over the internet. Desktops and data are hosted in the cloud rather than on local machines, allowing users to access their workspace from any device, anywhere.

Enhance remote teams and simplify desktop management with ET Works cloud-delivered virtual desktops

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) delivers secure, cloud‑hosted desktops that users can access from anywhere. It provides organisations with flexible, scalable and centrally managed desktop environments — without the cost or complexity of maintaining physical hardware.

DaaS addresses key challenges in supporting modern, distributed workforces:

  • Enable remote and hybrid working with secure, consistent access to desktop environments from any device, anywhere.
  • Reduce IT overhead by centralising desktop management, patching and security controls in the cloud.
  • Improve scalability by rapidly adding or removing users without hardware constraints or lengthy setup times.
  • Free internal teams by outsourcing desktop delivery and support to a trusted partner, allowing in‑house IT to focus on strategic priorities.

“ET Works have been one of the best partners and resellers I have personally dealt with. They clearly demonstrate a commitment to building a long-term sustainable relationship with their customers.”

Timon Watson. End User Computing Team Lead, Robert Gordon University Aberdeen

Hybrid cloud services that adapt to you

Hybrid cloud combines public and private infrastructure, giving you the flexibility to run workloads where they perform best. At ET Works, we design and implement hybrid cloud environments that are secure, practical and aligned to your operational needs — without unnecessary complexity or vendor lock‑in.

What you get

  • Flexible workload placement across public and private environments to balance performance, compliance and cost.
  • Improved resilience and uptime through distributed infrastructure and built‑in disaster recovery capabilities.
  • Better cost control by using scalable public cloud for variable demand and private cloud for predictable workloads.
  • Secure data management with the ability to keep sensitive workloads in private environments or specific geographic regions.
  • Future‑ready infrastructure that evolves with your business and supports long‑term growth planning.

Optimise performance with a hybrid-multi cloud strategy

Adopting a hybrid-multi cloud strategy allows organisations to take advantage of multiple cloud environments – public, private, and on-premises – based on the specific needs of each workload. This approach supports smarter infrastructure decisions, improves operational resilience, and enables long-term scalability without locking into a single provider.

  • Flexibility: Select the right cloud environment for each workload, balancing performance, compliance and cost as business needs change.
  • Scalability: Scale resources up or down quickly without overinvesting in physical infrastructure.
  • Cost optimisation: Use the most cost‑effective public and private cloud services for each workload to control spend.
  • Disaster recovery: Improve resilience with workloads distributed across environments, reducing downtime and data loss.
  • Data sovereignty: Maintain control over where sensitive data resides to meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
