Circumference Desktop

Launch dedicated Windows & Linux VMs on Azure and use them straight from your browser—no RDP or SSH needed. Disposable when you want, persistent when you need.

Circumference Desktop — browser-based Windows & Linux virtual machines

Your desktop, on demand

Desktop is a virtual desktop hosting service that creates dedicated Azure VMs for your account—never shared, always yours. Connect in the browser, choose disposable or persistent storage, automate start/stop, and scale specs or instance count as your needs grow.

Browser-native access to Windows & Linux—no local RDP/SSH setup or firewall exceptions required.
Disposable or persistent modes—reset to a clean slate on each run, or keep state when you need it.
Pay-as-you-go control—schedule start/stop, set budgets, and right-size CPU/RAM/disk for each VM.

How Desktop works

Dedicated Azure machines, simple controls, and a browser window to do real work.

  1. 1

    Provision your VM on Azure

    Pick Windows or Linux, select region and specs, and Desktop creates dedicated infrastructure for your account only.

    Why it matters

    No shared hosts means cleaner audit boundaries and predictable performance for your workloads and data.

  2. 2

    Connect in your browser

    Launch the VM and work instantly—no local RDP/SSH tooling. Choose disposable sessions or enable persistence for continuity.

    Why it matters

    Teams and contractors get a consistent environment anywhere—ideal for labs, testing, and day-to-day productivity.

  3. 3

    Automate, scale, and integrate

    Schedule start/stop, adjust specs, spin up more VMs by increasing count, and pair with Connect for private networking.

    Why it matters

    Control cost and capacity with simple levers. Build your own secure cloud workstation fabric in minutes.
