Managed Desktop as a Service Platform

Novacloud Workspace is a managed Desktop-as-a-Service platform that deploys into your own Azure subscription - your desktops, disks and data never leave it. Provision cloud desktops in minutes, shut them down automatically when nobody's using them, and pay only for the hours your staff are actually working.

Simple Onboarding

• Set up new staff and contractors in minutes, not days
• Provision tailored cloud desktops in a few clicks from your own golden images
• Scale up and down as your workforce changes - no hardware to buy
• Choose persistent desktops for dedicated users, or pooled desktops that reset after each session

Straightforward PC Management

• Build and maintain golden images with Azure Image Builder, with Windows Update baked into every build
• Desktops join Entra ID automatically and enrol into Intune, so they pick up your organisation's existing compliance policies
• Guest OS patching runs automatically via the Azure platform - no patch windows to babysit
• Automated daily disk snapshots on a 7-day rotation
• Manage your own image gallery, or hand it to us fully managed

Your Subscription, Your Data

• Runs as an Azure Managed Application inside your subscription - desktops, disks and snapshots stay in your managed resource group
• Access is governed by your own Azure RBAC, alongside scoped in-product roles across global, domain and host-pool levels
• Tamper-evident audit trail: every change is recorded in an HMAC hash chain and periodically sealed to append-only storage, with full export for compliance review
• Infrastructure hardened against CIS and Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark baselines
• Your data is never shared or mined

Pay for What You Use

• Demand-based autoscaling adds and removes capacity as sessions come and go
• Idle reclamation shuts down disconnected desktops automatically after a configurable timeout
• Per-pool business-hours scheduling with weekend shutdown, so nothing runs overnight by accident
• Assigned desktops pre-warm before each user's start time -capacity when they need it, off when they don't
• Track spend in the built-in cost analysis dashboard and daily usage email

Real-World Uses

• Small businesses - enterprise-grade virtual desktops without the consultancy bill.
• Development and testing - isolated sandboxes for UAT, remediation and safe application testing.
• Burst workloads - spin up temporary high-performance desktops for data processing, then destroy them.
• GPU and high-performance computing - video editing, CAD and rendering on demand for designers, marketers and engineers.
• Freelancers and remote staff - reach your desktop from any device, anywhere.
