Powerful Features for Smarter Virtual Workspaces
Apps4Rent offers best-in-class hosted virtual desktops powered by the latest virtualization technology. Explore our competitively priced plans and key feature variations.
Choice of Technology
Apps4Rent’s cloud desktop solutions have been developed using two leading technologies in virtualization-Microsoft and Citrix, with each technology having its own unique set of advantages and functionalities. The Citrix solution commands a slight premium as it has better performance on graphics intensive tasks.
Choice of Modes
For Microsoft virtual desktops, Apps4Rent offers two modes of desktops – session-based and dedicated. In the session-based mode, applications come pre-installed in a shared space. In dedicated virtual desktops, the buyers get the freedom to install their own applications. Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise option and the ability to include add-on users is available only in the dedicated virtual desktops. For more details see here.
CPU, RAM, and Storage
We have virtual desktop plans that include certain quantity of vCPUs, RAM and storage. It is possible to add additional storage to each plan or upgrade easily to a larger plan with the vCPUs, RAM, and storage that you may need. GPU processing can be added separately. Please ask our sales staff if you need Solid State Drives (SSD) for storage.
GPU Enhanced Virtual Desktops
We are one of the few vendors offering hosted desktops with graphic processing units or GPUs, which can be added to virtual desktops in a dedicated manner to improve performance of computing intensive applications for gaming, graphics, computer aided design, streaming, deep learning, and others. GPUs also help performance when you use multiple monitors with our virtual desktops. Learn more about GPUs on our virtual desktops.
Choice of Windows OS
As a default, we now offer you the Windows 10 look-and-feel on your virtual desktop. If you wish to get Windows 8 or Windows 7 look and feel, please inform our support desk after you have completed your order. We also offer Windows 10 desktop version on our virtual desktops under the qualified multitenant hosting program with Microsoft.
Choice of Office Suite
We offer free Office version with all our virtual desktops. We also have the latest versions of Microsoft Office 365 Pro, Plus, Standard, and Professional Plus available as add-on options. Alternatively, if you subscribe to Office 365 Enterprise E3 or higher you can install a copy on our virtual desktops.
Adding Users or Desktops
If you purchase a dedicated virtual desktop, additional users can be added on to the same desktop at a discounted price. Alternatively, you can get a separate virtual desktop for each user. The decision to go with one or the other is based on the workload and budgets. The account administrator can provision either solution the same way, allocating resources and rights to individual or groups of users.
Active Directory Integration/VPN
If an organization requires integration with its existing Active Directory (AD) for centralized user management and authentication, or wishes to set up a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect remote users or branch offices seamlessly to their virtual desktops, we provide complete support for both. Our technical team ensures smooth configuration, data security, and compliance with your organization’s IT policies. For more details or to discuss your specific requirements, please contact our sales team, who will assist you in implementing these services efficiently.
IP Address of Virtual Desktops
All Apps4Rent virtual desktops use US-based IPs from our New Jersey data center. We offer two types: Hosted Desktops, where multiple users share the same IP, and Dedicated Desktops, where each desktop gets a unique IP. However, if multiple users are added to a dedicated desktop, they share that IP. We also provide options for country-specific or dynamic IP addresses that change with each browser login. Contact our 24×7 virtual desktop experts for customized IP solutions tailored to your specific requirements and use cases.
