Our verdict on myDesk

myDesk is Austraserv’s Desktop as a Service offering for organisations that need to deliver hosted desktops and applications to employees across devices. It suits teams that want browser access without additional client downloads, especially AWS-based teams seeking to scale desktop capacity with demand. The vendor describes use cases including onboarding staff, supporting temporary workers, disaster recovery and access to legacy applications. Its platform supports Windows, Linux, BSD (Mac OS) and OS/2, with access through an HTML5 browser across multiple device platforms.

The strongest fit is its AWS-oriented operating model. myDesk lists AWS CloudWatch for auto-scaling and Amazon EC2 and RDS among its integrations, alongside Ericom Connect. Application management covers provisioning, delivery, updates and retirement, while users, groups or devices can be assigned dynamically to application workloads. Visibility spans infrastructure, desktops and applications. These capabilities make it relevant to teams managing both desktop capacity and application delivery; organisations looking for a broader, unrelated endpoint or workspace suite may prefer a product with a wider focus.

According to the vendor’s pricing information, myDesk is offered as a monthly subscription or on a pay-as-you-go basis for desktop hosting. The pricing model is contact sales, so buyers should expect to discuss requirements with Austraserv rather than select from published plan amounts. The vendor describes public and hybrid cloud environments, while the deployment listing identifies cloud. Choose myDesk if browser-based delivery, AWS scaling and application lifecycle management align with your environment. It is less suitable for buyers who need self-serve published pricing or a desktop service outside this AWS-centered scope.
