Kawkav / Infrastructure / Remote Desktop

Infrastructure · cloud desktop

A full desktop, inside your browser.

Linux and Windows desktops you reach from any browser over HTML5 — nothing to install, nothing left behind on the device you're sitting at. They're persistent, snapshot-able and run on Kawkav's own EU and Swiss cloud, so your files never leave your jurisdiction.

Where your data stays
What you get

Your workspace, streamed — not your files.

The desktop lives in Kawkav's cloud and only the screen travels to your browser. Close the tab and everything is exactly where you left it — on any laptop, tablet or lab machine.

Nothing to install

Open a URL, sign in, and the HTML5 client streams a real desktop. No agent, no plugin, no admin rights on the local machine.

Data stays in-house

Files, browsing and clipboard live on the VM in Kawkav's EU/CH cloud — never cached on the endpoint you happen to be using.

Persistent & snapshot-able

Your desktop keeps its state between sessions. Snapshot before a risky install and roll back in seconds.

Linux or Windows

Pick XFCE or KDE for a fast Linux desktop, or a licensed Windows desktop for the apps your team already knows.

TLS end to end

Every session runs through the encrypted HTML5 gateway. No RDP or VNC port is ever exposed to the open internet.

Disposable sandboxes

Spin up a throwaway desktop to open a risky link or test a build, then delete it — with zero trace on your own machine.

How it works

Browser to gateway to your VM.

Only pixels and input cross the wire. The desktop and its disk stay put in Kawkav's cloud — nothing is installed locally, and your data never leaves.

Variants

One gateway, four ways in.

Every option rides the same encrypted HTML5 gateway on desktop.kawkav.com — pick the shape that fits the job.

Where it fits

Sovereign VDI, without the Citrix bill.

Replace Citrix or AWS WorkSpaces with desktops you host yourself — for the same reasons teams reach for VDI, minus the hyperscaler and its egress meter.

Secure remote work

Staff work inside the cloud desktop; the corporate data never touches their personal laptop or a café network.

Clean dev environments

Give each developer an identical, disposable desktop with the toolchain baked in — onboard in minutes, not days.

Teams & field staff

Field and shared-device workers get their full desktop from any borrowed screen — no company laptop to ship or lose.

Plans

Just need to reach machines you already run? The RDP/VNC/SSH gateway rides the same encrypted HTML5 access on desktop.kawkav.com.

Questions

The honest answers.

Do I have to install anything?

No. Access is pure HTML5 through the Apache Guacamole gateway on desktop.kawkav.com — a modern browser is all you need, on any operating system. No client, plugin or admin rights required.

Where does my desktop and its data physically live?

On Kawkav-owned hardware in our EU and Swiss datacenters. The desktop VM and its disk stay there; only the encrypted screen stream reaches your browser, so your data never leaves your jurisdiction.

Is the desktop persistent between sessions?

Yes. Your files, apps and settings stay on a persistent disk, so you pick up exactly where you left off. If you want a fresh sandbox instead, spin up a disposable desktop and delete it when you're done.

Can I reach servers I already run?

Yes. The RDP/VNC/SSH gateway lets you connect to existing machines through the same browser front door, with no RDP, VNC or SSH port exposed to the open internet.

Is the GPU desktop production-ready?

Not yet — it's in beta with limited capacity while we tune it for CAD, 3D and AI workloads. Join the beta to try it and shape it; Linux and Windows desktops are fully available today.

Ready when you are

Your desktop is one tab away.

Deploy from your Kawkav console and open it in the browser — nothing installed locally, data on your own EU/CH cloud. From €7 a month.
