About Desktone

Enabling Simple, Flexible and Cost-effective Desktops as a Service

Traditionally, enterprise desktops have been complex, unreliable and expensive to operate. Desktone makes them simple, secure and cost-effective.

Founded in 2006, Desktone is leading an industry transformation toward easy-to-implement, low-maintenance enterprise desktops. PCs are an essential business tool, but they have become too complicated and expensive to manage and use. We believe that desktops can be straight-forward, reliable and agile tools that enable organizations to focus on their real business instead of on the drudgery and cost of supporting basic infrastructure. Virtual, hosted desktop environments make this possible.

Breaking the Barriers to Virtual Desktop Adoption

Virtualization technologies are relatively mature, making virtual client computing a viable approach for business. However, enterprises have been reluctant to adopt virtual desktops on a wide scale. The reason: it is too difficult, costly and time-consuming to integrate and support all the various niche technologies required for an end-to-end deployment. As a result, companies implement pieces of the solution, often compromising end-user experience in exchange for high server utilization or TCO payoffs.

Desktone changes all that. We deliver the only highly scalable, end-to-end virtual desktop solution that is designed specifically to enable service providers to offer hosted, subscription-based desktops as a service. The Desktone Virtual-D Platform™ integrates all desktop virtualization layers through a single, automated self-service solution. It simplifies desktop management, and improves security and compliance, while enabling always-on, reliable desktops that users can access from anywhere, anytime. By enabling virtual desktops to be delivered as a hosted service, we're making it possible for businesses to quickly adopt and immediately benefit from virtual client computing, without incurring the risks and costs of purchasing, deploying and maintaining new physical infrastructures. We're removing the barriers to enterprise-wide adoption of virtual desktops.

With Desktone, desktop computing becomes what it should be: a cost-effective service that can be implemented and scaled quickly up or down, delivering immediate financial and service-level improvements.

“Clearly, something's drawing attention to Desktone. Specifically, it's the startup's approach of 'owning the whole problem' of implementing desktop virtualization, instead of solving just one aspect of it.”
