As a tax professional, you need to access client data quickly, ensure compliance with strict security standards, and meet tight deadlines, especially during tax season.
Hosting UltraTax in the cloud lets you work from anywhere, streamline collaboration with your team, and maintain the highest level of data security.
We understand you might be worried about data breaches, service interruptions, or the hassle of moving to the cloud.
V2 Cloud takes care of those concerns with robust encryption, a 99.99% uptime guarantee, and an easy-to-use platform that ensures your transition is smooth and stress-free.
During tax season, your team is stretched thin. With cloud hosting, you can access UltraTax from any location—whether you’re at the office, working from home, or meeting clients—helping you stay productive and meet deadlines without being tied to a single workstation.
Tax professionals handle extremely sensitive financial data, and any breach can be disastrous. With V2 Cloud, you get top-grade encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular updates to ensure your clients’ private information is fully protected and compliant with security regulations.
When client workloads surge during tax season, your on-premise system can slow down or crash. Cloud hosting eliminates this issue by allowing you to scale your resources up or down instantly, ensuring you never face downtime or performance bottlenecks during your busiest times.
The fear of losing client files due to a system crash is real. With V2 Cloud’s automatic backups, your data is safely stored and easily recoverable, ensuring you can focus on client work without the worry of losing critical information at a crucial moment.
Deciding between local-hosted and cloud-hosted UltraTax depends on your firm’s specific needs.
Local-hosted solutions may work for smaller firms with limited remote work demands and strong internal IT support. However, if your practice requires seamless remote access, better performance during peak filing times, enhanced security for sensitive tax data, and the ability to scale as your client base grows, V2 Cloud’s UltraTax Cloud Hosting is a clear choice.

A virtual desktop is similar to a normal computer desktop, but everything is on a software package and runs on a cloud server. Multiple virtual desktops can be run on a single server, which eases the collaboration between users and reduces costs. A virtual desktop solution is a way of deploying multiple virtual desktops similar to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Creating a virtual desktop can be difficult and depending on the provider you’re with, it can require IT skills and certifications. That’s different with V2 Cloud’s virtual desktop services—you can create a virtual desktop in 20 minutes. Simply create an account, build your virtual desktop in the cloud, and after 20 minutes you can start using it.
The cost of our virtual desktops is determined based on VM and resource requirements. You can check our packages here to explore the available configurations and pricing options.
Virtual machines or VM, are virtualized computing environments similar to physical computers. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI is a system that is using VMs to provision virtual desktops and applications. You can keep in mind that VDI > VM > Virtual Desktops. VDI is the infrastructure where your virtual machines are hosted and those virtual machines have virtual desktops.
Virtual desktops are notoriously safe because your data never leaves the cloud. Virtual desktop solutions are usually safer than physical desktops. Since no business data is stored on the physical machine, multiple layers of security and encryptions are built-in with cloud desktops. Multifactor authentication(MFA) and single sign-on(SSO) on a cloud PC are protecting end-users way more than mixing personal data with business data on a physical desktop.
There are many advantages to using virtual desktop software. The key aim of virtual desktops is to better manage workloads by transforming traditional computing to be more scalable, efficient, and economical. Virtual desktop software is quickly being adopted by organizations and the academic community due to its ability to offer a reduction of investment outlays and operating costs. Some benefits of virtual desktop software are:
– Simplified management
– Increase productivity
– Flexible and cost-effective
– Environmentally friendly
