Virtual desktop plans · Basic
Basic: the office desktop, replaced
Ten gigabytes of memory and eight virtual cores. Word, Excel, Outlook and your line-of-business application open together, all day, without the box under the desk.
A desktop replacement, not a light version of one
Basic is the plan most people end up on, because it is the one built to replace an office PC rather than supplement it. Ten gigabytes of memory and eight virtual cores carry the ordinary working day without you thinking about it: the mail client, the browser with too many tabs, a spreadsheet, the accounting package and whatever your industry runs on, all open at once.
It is a full Windows 11 machine with administrator rights, so it behaves like the computer it replaces. Install what you need, add a printer, set a scheduled task, change a setting buried four dialogs deep. Nothing about it is a locked-down appliance.

Fast where it counts
Eight virtual cores and ten gigabytes of memory carry Outlook, Word, Excel and a line-of-business program open at once with headroom to spare, on a server-class host rather than the box under a desk.
The desktop is its own virtual machine on a server-class host, running vanilla Windows 11 with nothing pre-installed to slow it down, on a data-center connection with unmetered traffic. It keeps working at full speed when you disconnect, and the device you open it from only has to draw the screen.
Who Basic suits
If your accounting file is large, or a program regularly makes the machine think, move up to Standard.
Full-time office work
Everything a desk machine does, for someone sitting at it eight hours a day. This is the plan that plainly replaces a PC.
Small teams, one desktop each
Same applications, same files, same setup for everyone, reachable from the office or the kitchen table without a VPN to configure.
Bookkeeping and day-to-day accounts
QuickBooks, Excel and a tax package side by side. If your company file has grown large, Standard is the better fit.
Replacing an aging desktop or laptop
The hardware refresh that does not involve buying hardware. The machine in front of you only has to run a browser.
It is your machine, with the keys
Administrator rights come with every plan, Basic included. Install any Windows program you hold a license for, add a printer and its driver, change a setting, schedule a task, edit the registry if the job needs it.
Nothing on the desktop needs a support ticket to unlock and there is no approved-software list. What stays ours is everything underneath: the host, the storage, the network, the platform patching and the physical security of the building.
Delivery is instant, and instant means zero
Finish signing up and the login is in your inbox. Open it in a browser and the desktop is on screen. That is the whole sequence.
There is no provisioning queue to sit in, no build window to wait out, no setup call to schedule and no approval step. The number of minutes is not small - it is none.
The four plans
Every plan is a fast Windows 11 computer on a server-class host, with administrator rights, a dedicated IP, unmetered traffic and round-the-clock support. Pick the memory and processing power your work needs.
Common questions
Will Basic run QuickBooks?
Yes, comfortably, for day-to-day books alongside Excel and a mail client. Where Basic starts to strain is a company file that has grown over many years - that is what Standard is for.
Can several people share one Basic desktop?
No. A Windows 11 desktop is licensed for one interactive user at a time, and that is how the desktops are set up. For a team, give each person their own - the setup is identical and the price is per desktop.
How fast is it?
Fast. Each desktop is its own virtual machine on a server-class Hyper-V host, with its own allocation of memory and virtual cores - up to sixteen cores and twenty gigabytes on Advanced. It runs vanilla Windows 11 with nothing pre-installed to slow it, sits on a data-center connection with unmetered traffic, and keeps running at full speed when you disconnect. The device you open it from only draws the screen, so an old laptop gets the same performance as a new one.
How quickly do I get the desktop?
Instantly. You finish signing up, the login is in your inbox, and you open the desktop in a browser. There is no provisioning queue, no build window, no setup call and no approval step - the honest number of minutes is none.
Do I get administrator rights?
Yes, on every plan. It is a full Windows 11 desktop and you are the administrator: install any software you hold a license for, add printers and drivers, schedule tasks, change settings. There is no approved-software list and nothing needs a support ticket to unlock.
Is the Windows license included?
Yes. Every plan ships with a pre-activated Windows 11 license inside the monthly price. You do not bring your own and you do not buy one separately.
What do I need to connect?
A browser is enough - the desktop opens through a link on Windows, a Mac, Linux, a Chromebook, an iPad or an Android tablet. If you prefer a standard Remote Desktop client, that works too.
Where are the desktops hosted?
On Infosaic Cloud, in a compliance-audited data center in the United States, fed by redundant carriers with blended traffic - if one provider has an outage, another takes over automatically. The facility maintains a PCI, HIPAA and SSAE Type II certified network.
Is traffic metered?
No. Every desktop has a dedicated public IP address and unmetered traffic: there is no bandwidth cap, no fair-use threshold and no overage charge.
Can more than one person use a desktop?
One person at a time. A Windows 11 desktop is licensed for a single interactive user, and the desktops are set up that way. For a team, give each person a desktop of their own - the price is per desktop and there is no per-user charge on top. A company can have the desktops replicated from one gold image on a private network, as described on the VDI page.
