Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Ace Cloud Hosting DaaS provides managed, cloud-hosted virtual desktops for businesses and distributed teams. It offers shared multi-session and dedicated single-session desktops, with Windows and Linux environments. The service is aimed at organizations that need centrally managed remote desktops across different workloads, including graphics-intensive work through optional NVIDIA GPU acceleration. Support is available around the clock, and the service can be deployed in cloud or self-hosted environments.
The product's range is a practical fit for teams with varied desktop needs: shared sessions can serve team workloads, while dedicated desktops are available for users who need their own Windows desktop. Centralized administration through Citrix Director, auto-scaling, application management and patching reduce the number of separate desktop operations teams need to coordinate. Active Directory, Microsoft 365 and Citrix Workspace are listed integrations. Security features include multi-factor authentication, CrowdStrike antivirus and automatic 30-day rolling backups; listed compliance includes SOC 2 and HIPAA.
Pricing needs careful comparison. The product FAQ gives a starting price of $30 per user monthly, while the pricing page's listed monthly configurations run from $352.19 for Enterprise (Team Desktops) to $1,676.16 for Heavy Workload (Dedicated Desktops). Startup and SMB Team Desktops are $669.06 and $417.85 per user monthly, respectively; Light Workload Dedicated Desktops are $1,114.56. The displayed team plans include Windows Server 2022, a multisession Citrix Cloud desktop and 30-day rolling server backup; dedicated plans include Windows 11, a dedicated Citrix Cloud desktop and the same backup period. A seven-day trial is available. Choose it when managed hybrid desktops, optional GPU capacity and centralized security matter; organizations seeking straightforward, low-cost per-user pricing should compare the displayed configurations closely before proceeding.
