The path from a keypress to a frame on your screen A keypress travels from your keyboard to the workstation in Sydney 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 Sydney redraws Frame arrives on your screen Where the time goes 36–71 ms network, estimated encode · decode · draw not measured ≈100 ms — where delay starts to be felt
36–71 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.

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.

What a session actually costs

A remote desktop is sized differently from a server. The question is not how much traffic it serves but how many people are sitting in front of it at once, and what each of them has open.

Windows takes its share first

The operating system wants memory before any of your users do. Size the machine as Windows plus your sessions, not as your sessions alone.

Each session is a whole desktop

A browser with thirty tabs costs the same here as it does on a laptop. Concurrency is a memory question long before it is a processor one.

Distance is felt directly

On a server a slow round trip delays a response. On a workstation it delays your cursor, which is a far lower tolerance — host as close to yourself as you can.

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.

Workstation RDP in Napier — FAQs

Should I pick the location nearest me?
Yes — and this is the one product where that is true. You feel the round trip yourself on every keystroke and every mouse movement, so the closest location is almost always the right one. Sydney is 2,367 km from Napier, an estimated 36–71 ms.
How many people can share one desktop?
That depends on what they are running, and we would rather size it with you than quote a figure we have not tested. As a rule each concurrent session wants its own memory on top of what Windows itself uses — tell us how many people and what software, and we will work it out.
Which Windows version do I get?
It ships as Windows Desktop 11, and you can ask for a different Windows Desktop or Windows Server edition at build time. Administrator access from the first login, so you install what you like.
Do my files survive between sessions?
Yes. This is a machine, not a session on a shared pool — it keeps running when you disconnect, and everything is where you left it when you come back.
How much does it cost in Napier?
From $144.45 USD per month, with $155.45 USD on General purpose the usual choice for a workstation. The same prices apply in all 24 locations.
