Next-Gen Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) on Cloud
Empower distributed workforces, remote software engineering squads, and enterprise accounting teams with high-speed, zero-trust cloud desktops. Hosted on ServerThings private AMD EPYC clusters and Ceph all-flash NVMe fabrics with zero public RDP exposure, HTML5 web streaming, and centralized Active Directory GPO controls.
Why Choose ServerThings VDI & Cloud DaaS?
Unlike legacy on-premises terminal servers that require massive upfront CapEx and expose vulnerable RDP ports, ServerThings delivers fully managed, isolated virtual workspaces streamed over encrypted HTTPS with enterprise software-defined networking.
Zero Public RDP Exposure
End-users access desktops through our secure HTML5 web client or WireGuard VPN over standard HTTPS (Port 443). Port 3389 is never open on public IP addresses, eliminating automated ransomware scans and credential stuffing attacks.
- End-to-end TLS 1.3 encrypted session streams
- Enforced Two-Factor Authentication (2FA / TOTP)
- No software or plugins required on client devices
Windows Active Directory Integration
Seamlessly join cloud desktops to your corporate on-premise Windows Active Directory via site-to-site IPsec tunnels, or allow our team to deploy a dedicated cloud Domain Controller with tailored Group Policy Objects (GPOs).
- Centralized user accounts, passwords & role RBAC
- Custom corporate policy push and security baselines
- Dedicated administrative DAAS console access
Granular SDN Internet Filtering
Enforce custom network egress controls built directly into our Software-Defined Networking (OpenStack Neutron & OVN). Control internet access at the hypervisor level—completely independent of OS settings.
- Total Internet Lockdown (intranet & ERP only)
- Domain Whitelisting for corporate SaaS & APIs
- Per-desktop bandwidth shaping and egress audit logs
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Ensure sensitive company financial data, source code, and customer records never leave your secure data center boundary. Prevent local data exfiltration on employee personal laptops and thin clients.
- Block local clipboard copy/paste to client machines
- Disable USB drive mounting & mass storage redirection
- Restrict local drive mapping & enforce session watermarks

Frequently Asked Questions
Detailed technical answers regarding Active Directory integration, internet lockdown policies, ransomware mitigation, and peripheral support.
Yes. We can deploy a dedicated Windows Active Directory domain controller within your private corporate cloud network, or establish a secure site-to-site IPsec tunnel between our Tier III data center and your on-premises office domain controller. Your IT administrators retain full administrative rights to define, apply, and enforce organizational Group Policy Objects (GPOs), password complexity, and software permissions.
Yes. Employees securely connect to their desktop via their home or office broadband. Once inside the desktop session, internet access is strictly controlled at the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) level inside OpenStack. Our SDN controls sit above Windows OS policies and cannot be bypassed by local users. Administrators can choose to block all public internet (restricting desktops exclusively to local ERPs and file shares), whitelist specific corporate SaaS domains, or provide monitored access.
By default, our architecture isolates virtual desktops from common internet attack vectors. All remote streaming occurs through our hardened HTTPS (Port 443) web gateway with mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Standard RDP Port 3389 is never exposed on the public internet, making automated port scans and credential brute forcing technically impossible. Furthermore, with restricted internet policies and blocked USB redirection, unauthorized downloads are completely prevented.
Yes. Our virtual desktop gateway supports universal remote printing, enabling employees to print invoices, reports, and checks directly to their local USB or Wi-Fi office printers without requiring complex network routing. Peripheral redirection (smart card readers, audio headsets, multi-monitor arrays) can be toggled on or off at the tenant policy level to match your compliance standards.
Yes, absolutely. All ServerThings cloud desktops include genuine Windows OS and RDS CAL licensing. Beyond the base OS, you are free to install and license any commercial software, including Microsoft Office 365, Visual Studio, Tally Prime, AutoCAD, Busy Accounting, or custom proprietary business ERPs.
