Virtual Desktops — Work From Anywhere.

A virtual desktop is a complete Windows or Linux desktop that runs on a central server and is streamed to the user's device. Illumia Solutions hosts and manages these desktops so employees can work securely from any laptop, thin client or browser, while applications and data never leave the controlled environment.

Windows and Linux desktops, CPU or GPU · Browser-based access — no VPN client needed · Up to 3-factor authentication and device restrictions · Sandboxed developer desktops that block data exfiltration · Session logs and audit trails for GDPR, HIPAA and ISO 27001

Virtual desktops configured with both CPU and GPU options, providing the necessary power for graphics workloads, CAD, 3D rendering, and data-intensive applications.

Dynamically allocate compute resources to match workload demands — scale up during peak periods and right-size when demand drops.

Ideal for architects, engineers, video editors and data teams who need workstation-class graphics without buying and maintaining expensive hardware for every user.

Deploy Windows or Linux desktop environments on demand. Your virtual desktop is always on, pre-configured, and ready for your team regardless of their physical device.

Users get the same desktop environment whether they connect from a laptop, thin client, tablet, or any other endpoint device.

Build a golden desktop image once with your approved applications and settings, then roll it out to every user so desktops stay consistent, compliant and easy to support.

Access your virtual desktop from anywhere using just a web browser — no VPN client or special software required on the endpoint device.

Access can be locked down to employer-issued devices and enforced with up to 3-factor authentication — combining something you know, something you have, and something you are — ensuring only authorised users can reach sensitive desktop environments.

Internet access from virtual desktops can be customised and filtered according to your organisation's policies — blocking malicious sites, restricting categories, and enforcing compliance.

Manage all internet access policies centrally without touching individual endpoints, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring consistent enforcement.

Risky web traffic stays inside the virtual desktop, away from your corporate network.

For software development teams, we provide sandboxed VDIs where developers can code securely without the risk of unauthorised data upload, download, or exfiltration.

Each sandboxed environment is fully isolated, ensuring that development activity cannot compromise production systems or sensitive corporate data.

Provide approved IDEs, repositories and build tools inside the sandbox, so contractors can start work on day one.

Secure VPN connections can be established from virtual desktops to support peripherals such as printers, scanners, and on-premises resources.

Bridge cloud-hosted virtual desktops with your on-premises infrastructure, enabling a seamless hybrid working model without compromising security.

Provision, update, patch, and decommission virtual desktops from a single management console — eliminating the complexity of distributed endpoint management.

Spin up a fully configured desktop for a new employee in minutes, or instantly revoke access when a user departs — no physical device needed.

All files, applications, and data reside in the cloud — not on the endpoint. This eliminates data loss risk from stolen or lost devices.

Maintain comprehensive session logs and audit trails to meet regulatory requirements including GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) runs users' desktops as virtual machines on central servers instead of on their own PCs. Users connect from any laptop, thin client or browser and see a full Windows or Linux desktop, while the applications and data stay in the data centre or cloud.

With VDI you typically own and operate the virtual desktop platform. With Desktop as a Service, a provider hosts and manages the platform and you pay per desktop. Illumia Solutions offers both: we can host virtual desktops for you, or build and manage VDI on your own infrastructure. Either way, our team handles setup, security, patching and day-to-day support, so your IT staff can focus on users rather than infrastructure.

Yes. Our virtual desktops can be reached from a standard web browser with no VPN client or special software on the device. Access can be restricted to employer-issued devices and protected with up to 3-factor authentication.

Yes. Virtual desktops are available with CPU or GPU configurations for graphics-heavy work such as CAD, 3D rendering and data-intensive applications, and resources can be scaled up or down as demand changes.

Because files and applications stay in the cloud rather than on endpoints, a lost or stolen laptop does not expose company data. Sandboxed desktops prevent unauthorised upload, download or exfiltration, internet access can be filtered by policy, and session logs provide audit trails for GDPR, HIPAA and ISO 27001.

A fully configured virtual desktop can be provisioned in minutes from the central console, and access can be revoked instantly when someone leaves — no physical device needs to be shipped or collected. Desktops are built from a standard image, so every new starter gets the same approved applications, settings and security controls from day one.
