The Cloud can be used not only as data memory. It is even possible to obtain all the computing Power from the cloud. A performance is a weak device, which serves as a Terminal: It displays the Desktop and applications, and accepts inputs via keyboard and mouse. This can be an old PC or Laptop or even a Tablet.

This outsourcing of the Hardware is the Cloud-Gaming popular. In the last few years, several services have appeared on the picture, save it to the players, even the expensive Gaming machines or consoles to purchase. By the end of 2019, Google has brought with his service Stadia movement in the market. In the same week, the Swiss mobile operator Sunrise has launched its own service called Game Cloud.

For gamers and for regular users

With a Desktop Computer in the Cloud, you can play – you do not need to but. He is no good for any applications and is particularly well-suited for power-hungry programs, for example, in the areas of image management, Video, 3-D graphics and media production.

How this works in practice before we perform in the Video. We introduce you to the French cloud provider Shadow. It was launched in 2017 and expanded at the beginning of April in Switzerland. There, you rent a Computer from 17 francs per month, with Full HD graphics. There are still two more efficient configurations with 4k graphics for 35 or 55 francs per month.

A serious Alternative

The Windows-10-Desktop from the Cloud: This may sound like a wacky high-tech Gadget for geeks. However, our Test shows that the normal user an excellent Alternative to new, expensive Hardware. Especially when sophisticated applications are only occasionally used, it's not worth it, reserves of power on the stock to buy.

We explain in the Video also details of where the potential problem sources: on the one Hand, it is dependent on a good Internet connection. On the other hand, the data transfer between the Cloud Desktop and the local Computer is not yet quite as simple as it could be.

There is also the question of privacy remains: As a European company under the provider is the relatively stringent European data protection and privacy. Nevertheless, a fact that gives his data in the hands of strangers, it remains.

The Wi-Fi needs to find play along

in Addition to Shadow you in this post references to other vendors, even those that settle not per month, but after use. And as for the Cloud Desktop, the Wi-Fi connection as smoothly as possible, must work, please consider our contribution to Wi-Fi with maximum speed.
