Reach for the sky with a computer environment that is supported by the cloud
A cloud desktop, also known as a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or a cloud-based desktop, is a type of computing environment that allows you to access the computer desktop and applications from any device with an internet connection.
Instead of storing data and software locally on a physical computer, a cloud desktop uses remote servers to store all the necessary data and applications. You can access the cloud desktop through a web browser or a specialised app, and everything you do on the virtual desktop is saved and synchronised automatically in the cloud.
Cloud desktops are often used in business environments to allow employees to work remotely and access company data and applications from anywhere. We often install and setup cloud-based systems so that users have the flexibility and convenience of accessing their desktop and applications from multiple devices without having to transfer files or software manually.
Fantastic Service and Support.
Our business has been working D8A & Jason for the past year and we have been really happy with the support we have received. Jason has been responsive to our needs and practical about solutions. Would highly recommend.

We have worked with Jason since our inception in 2010 and he has advised and helped us set up and grow our IT systems as our business has grown. Jason has advised on hardware, software, networking, IT security, meeting room facilities, office moves, printing and telephony services. We now have over 30 staff, and 2 offices and Jason provides all our IT support. Jason is reliable, responds promptly, is very efficient and always keeps costs in mind while explaining everything in language that everyone involved can understand. Jason is easy to work with and has a good working relationship with all our staff and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jason to other firms that are looking for IT support.

We have worked with Jason and his team for over a decade and he was been brilliant in shaping and developing all our IT needs from the very simple things like PC set ups, printer and remote connection set ups to all the way through to networking, licencing, security set ups. We are a mid sized business with over 20 full time and 100 casual staff working within our operations team and we feel in very trustworthy and capable hands.IT and computer language can be a complex and challenging part of running a business especially for guys like me who are playing catch up with the many industry changes and tech advancements. Jason has always taken the time to explain what he thinks is the best route for our particular needs in a way that we all understand as well as going out of his way to keep unnecessary costs down.Andy PowellClub ManagerJAGS Sports Club

We recently engaged D8A IT Services to re-wire our offices, including patch panels, wifi, data cabinets, cable runs, CCTV and more. They completed the job with the utmost professionalism, ensuring that the work was carried out, out of hours. We had no disruption to our office workers throughout, which was more than we could have hoped for.
Trustworthy, professional and efficient. Highly recommended.

We've had the pleasure of working with D8a IT Services for several months now, and we couldn't be happier with the service they've provided. They are incredibly helpful, reliable and always go above and beyond to ensure that our IT systems are running smoothly.
No issue is too big or too small for them to handle and they always respond promptly to any concerns we have. Their expertise and professionalism are evident in everything they do, but what really stands out is how nice they are to work with.
If you're looking for an IT support provider who is not only skilled but also personable and dependable, I highly recommend D8a!

More about Cloud Desktops
The individual services we cover:
• Supply and setup Microsoft Remote Desktop • Supply and setup Citrix Remote Desktops
-
We can provide Microsoft Remote Desktop Services or Citrix Remote Desktops – whichever you prefer.
A huge side benefit that is often overlooked with cloud computing, is that the local physical computer hardware does not need to be so powerful as applications are run in the server online instead of natively. You can have all the power of server infrastructure so that you can leverage services for which you would normally need your own server hardware, services such as:
• Virtualisation • DHCP • DNS • Active Directory • File servers • AD Connect • SQL (database) • Exchange (Email)
When in the cloud you do not need to worry about keeping server hardware and operating systems up to date, nor need to think about backing up data, fault tolerance, or security.
As experienced cloud desktop installers, we are fully proficient in the installation of cloud desktops for business that are just starting out or for established companies that already have plenty of data spread across existing servers and local computers and storage. Either way, we can assimilate and migrate your data to the cloud seamlessly and continue to safeguard that data. Please see our backup and recovery service for more information in that regard.
We are committed to providing a solution that is tailored to the operations of your business. It is not a one size fits all approach when it comes to our solutions. Our open-ended and custom direction is fully adaptable and can scale in-line as your company grows.
Our responsive and knowledgeable team of IT professionals are ready to discuss a cloud desktop solution that works for you and your business. Please contact us by calling directly on 020 8315 5820, sending an email to enquiries@d8a-it-services.co.uk or by completing our enquiry form.

With a lot of unseen work behind the scenes to make all necessary preparations, any such improvements have always been carried out with a minimum of disruption. Jason’s breadth of knowledge ensures any downtime is minimised and we are back up and running without delay. The monthly maintenance also ensures, on a day to day basis, that we experience virtually no issues and foreseen problems are dealt with ahead of time.
