Neverinstall Cloud

Neverinstall operates the desktop service. Your quote lists desktop infrastructure separately from the platform fee.

Your cloud account

Run desktops in OCI, Google Cloud, Azure or AWS. The infrastructure stays in your account, with the same hosted Management Console.

Your servers

Run desktops on Neverinstall Private Cloud. Your team operates the servers, with support from our engineers.

Match desktops to the work.

Dedicated

One desktop per person, kept between sessions

Multi-session

Several people share a session host, each in their own session

GPU Desktops

GPU resources for CAD, rendering and graphics on supported infrastructure

Work in a browser tab.

Performance, connection and device settings in the browser client.
  • Open a desktop

    Users work in a browser tab. Supported RDP clients and thin clients can connect too.

  • Resume after a connection drops

    The client reconnects to the running session when the network returns.

  • Use the tools the job requires

    Test monitors, printing, audio, cameras and input devices with your applications and chosen client.

Set up desktops for a team.

Images, users and policies in one place.

  • Review administrative changes

    Image updates, access grants and policy changes go through an approval workflow, so every change has a reviewer and a record.

  • Control idle capacity

    Idle desktops suspend after a timeout you set, and each team works to a budget.

  • See every session

    Each session reports CPU, memory and latency to the Console.

    Alerts go to Slack, email or your SIEM on the thresholds you set.

  • See the organization at a glance

    Workspaces provisioned, live sessions and what needs attention, such as pending invites and missing multi-factor enrollment.

  • Review every change

    Workspace, user and settings changes, each with the person who made it and the time, exported as CSV.

Move one user group at a time.

Keep the current desktop service available while you test applications, access and daily work with one group.

  1. Bring an application image

    Choose a representative user group, its applications, devices and deployment location.

  2. Connect and test

    Connect your identity provider. Check transfer rules, peripherals and reconnection on the networks your users have.

  3. Review before expanding

    Compare daily administration and the full cost. Move the next group when the first is ready.

Browser client and streaming architecture.

The browser client runs an RDP engine compiled to WebAssembly and decodes video in hardware.

A streaming gateway beside your desktops carries sessions. Applications run on the desktop; display, sound and input cross the network.

  • Desktops for AI agents

    An AI agent and a person share one desktop. Each input is labeled as human or agent, and any human input pauses the agent.

Engineering research
  • Who acted in a shared AI desktop session?

    A shared-desktop prototype labels the source of each input and lets the person override the agent. Next, we are linking each action to the network requests it caused.

Neverinstall Virtual Desktops questions.

Which operating systems can desktops run?

Windows, and Linux on Ubuntu. Other Debian-based distributions are available on request.

How long does a rollout take?

Days. Once images and access policies are ready, the first group of users can move within days. Further groups follow as you approve them.

Which cloud accounts can we use?

Run desktops in your OCI, Google Cloud, Azure or AWS account. Confirm the region, capacity and application requirements during evaluation.

Can the service run fully disconnected?

Yes. Run desktops and a local Management Console in your environment. Agree on offline updates and support procedures before deployment.

What if our network blocks WebTransport?

The browser client falls back from WebTransport over HTTP/3 to WebSocket. Test the connection through your actual firewall and proxy configuration.

Which licenses are separate?

Infrastructure, Windows and application licenses are separate from the per-user platform fee. Your quote identifies these costs.
