Every Employee's Desktop, Secure in the Cloud

A full Windows desktop — applications, files and settings — that follows each person to any device and any location, while the data itself never leaves the protected environment.

The desktop scattered the firm's data

Every laptop that leaves the office carries client data with it. Every home PC used for remote work adds an unmanaged device to the firm’s attack surface. Every new hire means imaging another machine; every departure means wondering what was left on the old one.

Virtual desktops invert the model: instead of moving data to devices, people connect to where the data safely lives. The laptop becomes a window. Lose it, and you’ve lost hardware — not client files.

What Hosted Virtual Desktops include

MangoCloud provides each user a persistent Windows desktop running in our managed cloud: their applications, their files, their settings — identical whether they connect from the office workstation, a home computer, or a tablet at a client site. Sessions are encrypted and protected by multi-factor authentication.

Applications are installed and updated centrally once, not per machine. IT effort per employee drops sharply, security posture rises, and the experience staff get is a familiar Windows desktop — not a stripped-down web portal.

Benefits

Main Benefits

Any device, same desktop

Windows PC, Mac, thin client or tablet — the desktop is identical everywhere.

Data stays in the cloud

Files live in the protected environment; only encrypted screen data reaches the device.

True work-from-anywhere

Office, home or travel: staff open the same environment with the same performance profile.

Performance that scales

Desktop resources scale for busy season without buying anyone a new computer.

Centralized applications

Install and update tax and accounting software once, centrally, for everyone.

Managed support

Provisioning, updates, troubleshooting and user changes are handled by our team.

Core capabilities

Secure remote desktop access

Encrypted connections with MFA protect every session from every location.

Windows desktop experience

Full, familiar Windows — taskbars, file explorer, multi-monitor support — not a compromise interface.

Multi-device access

Consistent access from Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and thin clients.

Centralized application control

One managed software baseline; no version drift between employees.

Data protection

Desktops are backed up in the hosted environment; device loss no longer means data loss.

User management

Adding a person means provisioning a desktop, not procuring and imaging a machine.

Performance scaling

CPU, memory and graphics resources adjust per user role and season.

Printing and peripherals

Local and network printing, scanning and common peripherals are configured during onboarding — the detail that makes or breaks daily use.

Security built into the platform

Multi-factor authentication

Enforced for all remote access to hosted servers.

Encryption

Data encrypted in transit between users and the environment, with encrypted backups at rest.

Endpoint detection

Managed EDR watches hosted systems for suspicious behavior.

Isolated backups

Backup copies are separated from production infrastructure to limit blast radius.

Solved

Security characteristics

No data at rest on devices

Client files remain in the hosted environment, shrinking the impact of lost or stolen hardware.

MFA-protected sessions

Every connection requires multi-factor authentication.

Centralized policy

Security settings, screen locks and controls are enforced on every desktop uniformly.

Session encryption

Traffic between device and desktop is encrypted in transit.

Where virtual desktops shine

Hybrid and remote teams

Give distributed staff full-power access without shipping managed laptops or opening VPN holes.

Seasonal staff

Provision desktops for temporary preparers in minutes; deprovision them completely the day they leave.

BYOD without the risk

Let staff use personal devices while firm data never touches them.

Aging workstation fleets

Extend the life of older PCs — the desktop's power now comes from the cloud.

FAQs

Properly sized, no. Desktops run on server-grade hardware close to the data, so tax software often performs better than on aging office PCs. We size per role and validate performance during the pilot.

Yes. Multi-monitor setups are supported and commonly used by preparers and reviewers.

The session pauses; work continues running safely in the cloud. Reconnecting resumes exactly where the user left off — unsaved work included.

Yes. Local and network printing is configured during onboarding, and scanning into hosted applications is supported.

Application hosting publishes specific programs; virtual desktops provide the entire Windows desktop. Firms wanting one uniform, fully managed workspace typically choose desktops; some combine both.
