Overview
Nen gives you Windows desktops with computer tools. Choose how you want to get one:Cloud Desktops
Nen creates and manages the desktop for you. Sub-second provisioning from a
pre-warmed pool. Ephemeral — create, use, delete.
Remote Desktops
Connect your own Windows machine via RDP. Persistent, stateful, with your
apps already installed.
Comparison
| Cloud Desktops | Remote Desktops | |
|---|---|---|
| Provisioning | Nen creates it — sub-second from pool | You provide it — connect via RDP |
| Lifecycle | Ephemeral — create, use, delete | Persistent — always on |
| State | Clean each time | Stateful across runs |
| Best for | Dev/test, burst, prototyping | Production, apps pre-installed, on-prem |
Both options expose the same computer tools —
GET /desktops/{id}/tools and POST /desktops/{id}/execute work identically regardless of how the desktop was provisioned.
