Virtual Desktops
Work Securely From Anywhere
Univision Computers delivers fully managed Virtual Desktops as a Service (DaaS) that give your team secure, high-performance access to a cloud-hosted Windows desktop — along with all your files and applications — from any device, anywhere in the world. Whether you’re a CPA firm running QuickBooks and Lacerte, a tax professional scaling for filing season, or a growing business replacing aging servers, our hosted virtual desktops are built to perform, protect, and scale.
What Is Virtual Desktop as a Service?
Virtual Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud-hosted Windows desktop environment delivered and fully managed by Univision Computers. Instead of buying, maintaining, and replacing expensive on-premise servers and workstations, your users simply log in to their personal cloud desktop — from a PC, Mac, iPad, Chromebook, or thin client. All the heavy lifting (compute, storage, security, patching, backups) happens in our enterprise-grade data centers.
The result: a faster, safer, more flexible way to work — with predictable monthly pricing and zero IT headaches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Virtual Desktop
What is Virtual Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?
DaaS is a cloud-hosted Windows desktop that users access remotely from any device. Univision Computers fully manages the infrastructure, security, backups, and support so you don’t need in-house IT.
Is a virtual desktop secure for accounting and CPA firms?
Yes. Univision Computers uses SOC 2-aligned data centers, MFA, end-to-end encryption, daily backups, and 24/7 threat monitoring — meeting and exceeding IRS Publication 4557 and state requirements for taxpayer data.
Can I run QuickBooks and Lacerte on a Univision virtual desktop?
Absolutely. We specialize in hosting QuickBooks (all versions), Lacerte, Drake, UltraTax, ProSeries, Sage, CCH, and hundreds of other business applications.

How long does migration take?

Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Univision Computers offers flexible month-to-month plans with no cancellation fees.
What's the difference between DaaS and a VPN?
A VPN just connects you to a remote network — you still depend on local hardware. DaaS delivers a complete, high-performance Windows desktop in the cloud, accessible from any device, with no local hardware dependency.
