The next evolution
of DaaS

This depends on how you utilize WarpStations. Individual users typically prefer hourly pricing, as their usage may fluctuate. On the other hand, a large organization may prefer a monthly or annual plan; predictable billing could be easier for their accounting.

If you’re somewhere in between, you may opt for either – or try one billing structure and switch to another. Let us know if you want to discuss the pros & cons.

You can use WarpStations from a modern desktop browser on a desktop, laptop, or Chromebook running Windows, macOS, Linux, or ChromeOS. No client installation is required.

You need an active internet connection, and network quality will affect the remote-desktop experience.

Your WarpStations Linux virtual desktop runs Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 42, and CentOS Stream 10.

A burst is a time-metered increase in compute capacity, added on top of your base plan. Once you have a plan with WarpStations, you can navigate to your desktop’s details and initiate a burst (also called a power-up sometimes 🍄).

On that page, you can move the sliders for how much CPU, RAM, and time you need, seeing the price dynamically change. You get a transparent window into how much you’ll pay for the burst.

Navigate to your desktop’s details to see how much longer your trip into the ether will last.

Please note that while our bursts are priced per hour, we only charge for the minutes you use.

Each of your virtual desktops gets a weekly automatic backup. You can view your 3 most recent backups on your desktop details page.

To help you meet rigorous regulations, WarpStations holds a high bar for security. This includes:

• • Strict adherence to US data-protection regulations
• • Strong access controls help safeguard your desktop and its data from unauthorized users
• • Aligning with corporate & legal requirements, data residency is maintained within US jurisdiction
• • Choose whether to get the latest security updates for your virtual desktop automatically

Need NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, CMMC, or SOC 2? Book a demo to discuss requirements and enterprise options.

Please note that under CMMC, each organization still requires an independent audit; we’ll provide the SSP to facilitate a smooth process.

Yes. For enterprise customers, WarpStations can deploy desktops into existing VPCs so they can connect to your private network, security controls, and cloud resources.

Yes, we’ll process your cancellation whenever you need it.

Please keep in mind that if you cancel your paid plan, you’ll immediately lose access to the virtual desktop(s) you’ve set up. So, it’s essential to export any work before canceling.

WarpStations can run desktops across a range of regions and infrastructure providers, including cloud providers and our own hardware. For individual users, we place desktops where they provide strong performance and availability. For enterprise customers, we can discuss specific region, latency, data residency, private networking, or existing VPC requirements.

One virtual desktop is included with each plan. Simply multiply the plan by the number of desktops you need, and that will be your monthly or annual cost.
