A cloud desktop is a full computer environment (apps, files, settings) that lives in the cloud instead of on a physical machine sitting on someone's desk. Employees log in from any device, and the actual computing happens somewhere else entirely.
A cloud desktop follows the employee, not the hardware. Lost laptop, home computer, tablet in a pinch: the desktop and everything on it is exactly where they left it, because none of it ever lived on the physical device to begin with.
Accounting firms during tax season, property managers during peak rental months, seasonal retail: any business that needs more workstations for part of the year and fewer the rest of it can scale cloud desktops up and down without buying or storing physical hardware.
Data never lands on the local device, which means a lost or stolen laptop isn't a data breach, it's a hardware replacement. That single fact often justifies the switch on its own for regulated industries.
