Citrix virtual desktops, managed by Foxcomm

Users see the same desktop whether they are in the office, at home or travelling, while data stays in the data center or cloud rather than on laptops. Foxcomm designs, deploys and manages Citrix environments on Microsoft Azure, AWS or your own infrastructure, and supports your users around the clock.

See hosted virtual desktops in action
A short introduction to how a hosted virtual desktop works: your applications, files and settings live in a secure cloud environment and follow you to any device.
Benefits
Why businesses choose hosted virtual desktops
Work from anywhere
Staff open the same desktop, applications and files from the office, home or a client site, on a laptop, tablet or home PC.
Lower hardware costs
Processing happens in the cloud, so older devices last longer and you avoid buying and refreshing powerful workstations.
Security by design
Data stays in the hosted environment instead of on laptops, protected by multi-factor authentication, encryption, patching and monitoring.
Fast onboarding and offboarding
Create a ready-to-use desktop for a new starter quickly and remove access in a single step when someone leaves.
Scales up and down
Add or remove desktops as your team grows or changes, with no new hardware, for seasonal staff, contractors and acquisitions.
Centrally managed
One image, one set of applications and one policy for everyone, patched centrally and supported by our 24/7 help desk.
Why teams choose it
Hosted desktop benefits for New York teams
Work from anywhere
Staff sign in to their own desktop from almost any laptop, tablet or home computer, with the same applications and files wherever they are.
Faster onboarding
New starters get a working desktop without waiting for hardware to be ordered, imaged and shipped, so they can start productive work straight away.
Data stays put
Files live in the hosted environment rather than on individual laptops, so a lost or stolen device puts far less of your data at risk.
Simple offboarding
When someone leaves, their access is switched off in one place, with no devices to chase and no data left behind.
Consistent experience
Everyone works on a centrally managed desktop with the same applications, settings and performance, which makes support faster and faults rarer.
Lower hardware spend
Older or lower-cost devices can serve as access points, so you replace hardware less often and spend less on powerful laptops.
