The path from a keypress to a frame on your screen A keypress travels from your keyboard to the workstation in Seattle and a redrawn frame returns. Below, a scale shows the estimated network round trip against the roughly one hundred millisecond point at which delay starts to be felt; the encode, decode and display time that also contributes is marked as unmeasured. You press a key keyboard, mouse Seattle redraws Frame arrives on your screen Where the time goes 1–2 ms network, estimated encode · decode · draw not measured ≈100 ms — where delay starts to be felt
1–2 ms estimated network round trip

The blue band is the network round trip, estimated from distance rather than measured. Encoding, decoding and drawing the frame add to it — that part we have not measured, so it is left unmarked rather than guessed.

Choose how the processor is shared

Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Windows Desktop 11 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Availability

Budget friendly

Workable for light desktop use, but shared processor time shows up as stutter when several applications are open at once.


$144.45USD

per month

Dedicated

High performance

For heavy desktop work — design tools, large datasets, anything that pins the processor for minutes at a time.


$166.45USD

per month

Configure
Hourly only

Burstable

Occasional use

Suits occasional use. Book it for the hours you actually need a remote desktop and pay for nothing in between.


$0.3192USD

per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed

Book by the hour

Add memory or cores for a heavy project and take them off when it ships — the change is made by hand on the same machine, usually within the hour.

Where the data lives

The case for a remote workstation is not surveillance — it is that nothing important is stored on a device that can be lost, stolen or left behind when someone leaves. Work happens on a machine you control, and only the picture travels.

Nothing on the endpoint

Files, credentials and client data stay on the server. A lost laptop is an inconvenience rather than a breach.

Access ends when employment does

Revoke one account and that person is out. No hunting for company data on a personal device.

Audit what you are entitled to

Windows keeps its own sign-in and session logs, and you administer the machine. What you may then monitor is a legal question, not a technical one — see the FAQ.

Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Pick the region closest to you, not to your customers. This is the one machine where you feel the round trip yourself — it is the difference between a desktop that responds and one that lags behind your typing.

Managed RDP Workstations in Mercer Island — FAQs

Can I monitor what employees do on it?
Technically you administer the machine, so Windows logging and any software you install are available to you. Legally it is not that simple: in the UK and EU, monitoring staff requires a lawful basis, transparency with the people affected, and usually a data protection impact assessment. Covert monitoring is very rarely lawful. Take your own advice before you enable anything — we provide the server, not the policy.
How does this protect company data?
Because the data never leaves the server. Staff connect over RDP and see a screen; documents, credentials and client records stay on a machine you control and back up, rather than on laptops in transit.
How many people can share one workstation?
It depends what they run — each concurrent session wants its own memory on top of Windows itself. Tell us how many people and what software, and we will size it with you rather than quote a figure we have not tested.
