You already know Frame is the best way to access your Windows applications wherever you happen to be. In fact, many of our customers set up their workspace with nothing but a few apps on their Launchpad — a lot like a smartphone.

But sometimes you want the familiarity and control of a full-blown desktop. The Windows start menu. A command prompt. Windows Explorer. Task Manager. We get it.

Today, desktop fans have something to celebrate. Frame has made full desktops as a service for AWS and Azure generally available. Lock-in? Forget it. Whether you prefer Amazon’s infrastructure or Microsoft’s, Frame can stream a high-performance desktop from the cloud to any browser, on any device, from more than 50 data centers around the world. It’s available In commercial public clouds and in government clouds too.

It’s the full Windows experience, accessible from anywhere, with the speed and responsiveness you’d expect from a local desktop PC or workstation.

With Frame, it’s easy to setup multiple workgroups with apps only or a full Windows desktop experience. With one Frame account, you can support app streaming or desktop as a service on any cloud (AWS or Azure) and powered by virtually any instance type (Single GPU, Multi-GPU, eGPU or CPU only systems). It’s super flexible, yet still easy to use.

If you’ve already been using Frame for app streaming, check out our quick guide to desktop mode and go ahead — access your drives and dig into your files with Windows Explorer. Save temporary files to your desktop. Right-click and drag and drop to your heart’s content.

It’s Windows apps and desktops in the cloud. And it’s available from any browser on any device today.

To see desktop mode or any other features of Frame in action simply request a demo and we’ll be happy to help you get started.
