Your team struggles with 'Database is already in use' errors when multiple users try to access the same Access file. VPN connections are slow, unreliable, and cause database corruption. Local network limitations are stifling productivity. Every connection drop risks data loss. Your business needs remote access, but traditional solutions create more problems than they solve.
Local network limitations are stifling your team's productivity and risking data corruption every time a connection drops. Employees can't work from home effectively. Database crashes cost hours of lost work. File server failures mean business downtime. You're stuck between expensive enterprise solutions and unreliable workarounds. The longer you wait, the more productivity you lose and the higher your risk of data loss.
Our RDP and SQL Cloud hosting services give you the speed of a local network with the freedom of the cloud. Zero downtime migration. No code changes required. Your user experience remains 100% identical to your desktop version—this removes the fear of change which is the biggest barrier for Access users. Keep your database exactly as it is, but access it from anywhere with enterprise-grade performance and reliability.
Each solution addresses different pain points: remote accessibility, performance/speed, or data security.
Keep your database exactly as it is, but access it from anywhere. Perfect for small businesses with existing Access apps who aren't ready for a full rewrite but need remote work capabilities. Zero code changes. 100% identical user experience. Users connect via Remote Desktop to see and use Access exactly as if it were on their local computer.
Keep the Access interface you love, but get the power of SQL Server on the cloud. Ideal for growing companies experiencing lag, data corruption, or reaching the 2GB file size limit. We migrate only the backend to SQL Server or Azure SQL—your forms, reports, and VBA code stay exactly the same. Unlimited scalability without changing your user interface.
Stop worrying about local server crashes or lost USB drives. Enterprise-grade cloud security with automatic backups, point-in-time recovery, and disaster recovery within 1-2 hours. Perfect for IT managers and business owners concerned about data integrity and compliance. Your data is protected by enterprise-grade cloud security with encryption and MFA.
Access database cloud hosting moves your Microsoft Access database from a local computer or file server to cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, or Remote Windows PC. This enables your team to access the Access database from anywhere—home, office, or field—via Remote Desktop or VPN. The database runs on cloud servers with automatic backups, 99.9% uptime, and scalable resources. Users see and interact with the full Access interface exactly as if it were installed locally—100% identical experience with zero code changes required.

Automatic Backups: Daily cloud backups with point-in-time recovery
Multi-User Support: Multiple users access simultaneously without conflicts
No On-Premises Server: Eliminate hardware costs and IT maintenance
Scalability: Add users or storage without buying new hardware
Disaster Recovery: Restore to new server within 1-2 hours if needed
Security: Enterprise-grade cloud security with encryption and MFA
Integration: Connect to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and cloud services
Cost Savings: Reduce IT costs by 40% compared to on-premises servers
Reliability: 99.9% uptime with cloud infrastructure
Understanding the difference between RDP hosting and SQL Azure helps you choose the right cloud strategy. Both solutions provide remote access, but they address different needs and pain points.
Best for businesses that want zero changes to their Access database.
Small businesses (5-20 users) with existing Access apps who need immediate remote access without any modifications. Ideal when you want to keep your database exactly as it is.
Fastest Access performance, full Access interface, zero code changes, 100% identical user experience, typically $200-400/month. Users connect via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and see Access exactly as if it were on their local computer.
You have a working Access database that your team knows how to use. You just need remote access without learning new software or changing workflows.
Typically 2-3 weeks. We set up the cloud server, install Access, move your database, configure RDP access, and train your team. Zero downtime—your database keeps working during migration.
Best for businesses experiencing performance issues or hitting Access limits.
Growing companies experiencing lag, data corruption, or reaching the 2GB file size limit. Businesses with 6+ concurrent users or critical data that needs enterprise-grade performance.
Unlimited scalability, eliminates 2GB limit, handles unlimited concurrent users, better performance, typically $300-600/month. You keep your Access frontend (forms, reports, VBA) but get SQL Server backend power.
Your Access database works, but it's slow with multiple users or approaching size limits. You want enterprise performance without changing your user interface.
Typically 4-6 weeks. We migrate your backend to SQL Server/Azure SQL, optimize queries, test thoroughly, and ensure all forms/reports work perfectly. Your users see no difference—same Access interface they know.

Systematic approach to moving your Access database to the cloud.
Analyze your current Access database, determine user count and access patterns, assess bandwidth and performance requirements, recommend best cloud platform (Azure/AWS/RDS), and create detailed migration plan.
Provision cloud servers with appropriate resources, configure networking and security settings, set up VPN or Remote Desktop access, install required software and Access Runtime, and configure firewall rules.
Optimize Access database for cloud/multi-user environment, migrate backend to SQL Server or Azure SQL if needed, configure linked tables and connections, set up automated backups, and optimize queries for cloud performance.
Create user accounts and permissions, configure Remote Desktop clients, test connections from multiple locations, verify performance with concurrent users, and validate backup/recovery procedures.
Train users on remote access procedures, provide connection guides and documentation, establish support procedures, monitor performance post-launch, and provide ongoing optimization.
Expert cloud deployment with proven reliability and security.
Experience with Azure, AWS, Remote Windows PC, and hybrid deployments. We recommend the right solution for your specific needs and budget.
VPN setup, multi-factor authentication, encrypted connections, and compliance with data protection standards. Your data is secure in the cloud.
Database optimization for cloud/remote use, connection pooling, caching, and query tuning for fast response times even with remote access.
Server setup, database migration, user training, monitoring setup, and ongoing support—all included. We handle everything from start to finish.
