US Signal OpenCloud Desktop-as-a-Service review
A scalable DaaS option for MSPs that need managed control and concurrent-user billing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
US Signal OpenCloud Desktop-as-a-Service provides cloud-hosted virtual desktops through US Signal’s OpenCloud, powered by Inuvika OVD Enterprise. It is designed for enterprises, hybrid teams, contractors, seasonal workers, and managed service providers. The service supports both managed and unmanaged deployments, with access through web browsers, iOS, and Android devices. MSPs receive a particularly relevant set of capabilities, including multi-tenant deployments and scalable provisioning and deprovisioning.
The two service tiers separate operational responsibility clearly. Managed DaaS includes US Signal-provided VDI, patching, user profile and session management, monitoring, and administration of published desktops and applications. Unmanaged DaaS provides cloud-hosted VDI while the customer handles desktop and application administration, patching, and application and infrastructure management. This makes Managed DaaS the more suitable fit for teams that want a provider-led operating model, while Unmanaged DaaS gives customers more direct control over administration.
Pricing is based on peak concurrent users and associated resource consumption, with separate managed and unmanaged tiers. The published model suits organizations whose usage varies across shifts, contractors, seasonal workers, or shared workforces. Encryption, MFA, centralized management, cross-browser access, and mobile support cover core remote desktop requirements, while US hosting options support regional deployment preferences. The trade-off is a narrower platform profile: GPU support is not included, and the listed access options emphasize browsers and mobile devices rather than a broad desktop-client ecosystem. Choose OpenCloud Desktop-as-a-Service when managed DaaS, multi-tenant provisioning, and variable concurrency matter most; consider an alternative when GPU workloads or extensive desktop-client coverage are priorities.
