The workspace explained
What is an Online Workplace?
An online workplace is a complete Windows desktop running in a professional data center instead of a computer at your office. You log in via the internet — from your laptop, tablet or phone — and see a full Windows desktop with all your programs, files and printers. It feels like sitting at your office computer, wherever you are.
At Virtual Computing your online workplace runs on AVD. AVD stands for Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft's workplace technology; we run it on our own servers in Eindhoven and Den Bosch. Your desktop, files and applications stay in the Netherlands; sign-in, licences and security run through your own Microsoft 365. Every company gets its own environment with its own servers and its own domain. Daily backup, encryption and multi-factor authentication are standard. We are ISO 27001 certified and in line with NEN 7510. This applies to every Online Workspace we deliver from 1 September 2026.
The difference with Microsoft 365? With Microsoft 365 you install Office apps (Word, Excel, Outlook) on your own laptop. With the Online Workplace, everything runs in our cloud — including your own industry-specific software like Exact Online, AccountView, Oase Dental or ISAH. Your own device only serves as screen and keyboard.
We handle everything in the background: Windows updates, software updates, backups, antivirus and security. Run into something? Call us and we help quickly — our service desk is available on business days (08:00–18:00), with a 24/7 on-call service for critical incidents.

Other names, same product
Online workspace, cloud workspace or virtual workspace? The same product
Looking for a cloud workspace? With us that is the Online Workspace. The same goes for a workspace in the cloud, a virtual workspace, a flexible workspace or a remote workspace. It is always the same thing: a complete Windows desktop that runs in our data center in the Netherlands and that you open from any laptop, tablet or phone. We call it the Online Workspace. You pay €35 per user per month + Microsoft 365 Business Premium €19.06 = €54.06 all-in. Already have Business Premium? Then you only pay the €35. Working in healthcare, accountancy or law? Have a look at IT for healthcare, IT for accountants or IT for law firms.
In practice
How does an Online Workplace work in practice?
You open the Windows App on your laptop, tablet or phone and sign in with your Microsoft 365 account plus the multi-factor authentication you already know from Outlook. Immediately you see your familiar Windows desktop with all your programs, folders and printers. Close the app? Your workplace continues right where you left off.
Your own computer only serves as screen and keyboard. All computing and storage happens in our data center. No more slow laptop, no risk of data loss from theft, always the latest software. Even a €250 Chromebook works as a workstation.
Share files via shared folders organized through our customer portal. Printing and scanning works transparently via your local network. Microsoft Teams runs smoothly with multimedia redirection. MyWorkDrive app gives you mobile access to all business data.
Home, office or on the road
Hybrid workspace for SMEs — home, office or on the road
Hybrid working is no longer a temporary exception but the new normal for Dutch SMEs. Employees expect to do their work just as well at home as at the office — and management expects IT not to be a barrier. With an online workspace from Virtual Computing, that's taken care of: the same Windows environment, the same files and the same access to all business applications, regardless of where or on which device you work.
No VPNs that drop, no sync issues between laptops, no differences between office and home setups. One central workspace, with multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access as a security layer — so only your people can access it, and only from trusted devices.
From your kitchen table
Sign in via your personal laptop or tablet. Same workspace as in the office — including business software, mailbox and printers. No VPN, no manual sync.
At the office or on customer site
Work from any device at your fixed workspace. On site with a customer? Plug-and-play on any laptop — your workspace is immediately available.
On the road via mobile
Quick check of mail or a document on your phone or tablet. Same apps, same files, same security as on your laptop.
Capabilities
Simple, secure and scalable
Collaboration
Organise work folders yourself and control who has access to what.
Printers and Scanners
Effortlessly print and scan via the devices within your network.
Sign in once
Sign in with your Microsoft 365 account and MFA. After that Outlook, Word and Teams simply know you — no password pop-ups.
Management
Add or remove users yourself via the customer portal.
Custom Applications
We install your own applications, even with Microsoft SQL if needed.
Windows App
Open your workplace on Windows, Mac, iPad, Android or in the browser. No VPN, no separate settings.
Who it's for
When do you choose an Online Workplace?
An Online Workplace is the best choice in the following situations:
- You want maximum data security — your data is in our own data center in the Netherlands
- You use your own business software — accounting, dental, ERP or legal software
- You need unlimited storage — without paying extra per gigabyte
- You no longer want expensive servers at the office — we deliver and manage everything
- You work with multiple locations or remote workers who need the same environment
- You must comply with strict security requirements (ISO 27001, NEN 7510, GDPR)
Just need email, Word and Excel on your own laptop? Then Microsoft 365 Management is more affordable. Want your own laptop professionally managed? Check our Modern Workplace.
Many clients combine an Online Workplace for business-critical software with Microsoft 365 for email. Not sure? Contact us — we help you choose.

Windows 10: 13 October 2026 is your real deadline
Windows 10 has been out of support since October 2025. If you are still running on Extended Security Updates, the price per device doubles after 13 October 2026 — and anyone joining later pays for the missed years anyway. Four routes for SMBs, with an honest calculation.

Cloud vs On-Prem: 5-Year TCO for SMBs (2026)
An honest 5-year total cost of ownership comparison between an on-prem server (capex + maintenance) and a cloud workspace (opex per user). Real numbers for a 25-seat SMB: on-prem €80,900 vs cloud workspace €56,000. Plus the hidden cost lines you don't see in the quote.
