Overview
Your Vying.io cloud desktop comes with dedicated CPU, RAM, SSD storage, and backups.
This article explains what each resource means in practice and how it affects your everyday work — so you always understand what you’re paying for.
🧠
1. CPU (Processor Cores)
What is CPU?
CPU cores handle the “thinking” part of your cloud desktop — calculations, apps, multitasking, opening software, processing files, and everything that requires computation.
Your standard plan includes:
- 4 vCPU Intel Xeon Silver cores
What this means for you:
- Fast performance in apps like Excel, PDF tools, SAGA, browsers
- Smooth multitasking (several apps open at once)
- Snappy response with little lag
When you may need more CPU:
- Heavy Excel usage (complex formulas, macros)
- Running databases or ERP systems
- Using multiple users on the same machine
- Performing large exports or imports
We can upgrade CPU instantly — no downtime.
🧵
2. RAM (Memory)
What is RAM?
RAM keeps your apps open and running smoothly.
It’s the short-term memory of your cloud desktop.
Your standard plan includes:
- 8 GB DDR4 RAM
What this means:
- You can run several programs at once
- Browsers, SAGA, Office apps all open smoothly
- Switching between apps feels instant
When to upgrade RAM:
- You open many browser tabs at the same time
- You work with large Excel files
- You run heavy desktop applications
- You share the machine with another user
RAM upgrades take just a few minutes.
📦
3. SSD Storage
What is SSD storage?
Your cloud desktop uses high-end Samsung enterprise SSDs, which are fast, reliable, and designed for 24/7 workloads.
Your standard plan includes:
- 200 GB SSD
What this means:
- Faster file access
- Faster application load times
- Zero waiting when saving documents
- Reliable performance even under load
When you might need more storage:
- Storing many PDFs or accounting documents
- Running large SQL databases
- Using big local datasets or archives
- Installing heavy apps (AutoCAD, databases, backups)
Storage upgrades can be applied without recreating the machine.
🔄
4. Backups & Restore Points
How backups work on Vying.io:
We take regular snapshots and backups of your cloud desktop.
These allow us to restore your machine to a previous state if:
- a file is deleted
- a program breaks
- a virus is installed
- something crashes
- you request a rollback
Types of backups:
✔ Snapshot (Instant restore)
Used for quick fixes — restores your machine exactly as it was at a specific moment.
✔ Full backup
Stored safely in our infrastructure.
Used to recover your machine in case of major issues.
How long we keep backups:
- Usually between 7–30 days, depending on configuration.
- Logs may be kept up to 90 days for security and GDPR compliance.
How to request a restore:
Just contact support (phone or WhatsApp).
We restore your machine in minutes.

5. Network Bandwidth
Every cloud desktop includes a fast, stable network connection inside the datacenter.
This affects:
- download/upload speed
- cloud software performance
- access to databases
- general responsiveness
You don’t have to configure anything — it’s all handled automatically.

6. How Resources Affect Performance
Here’s the simplest breakdown:
- CPU → affects processing, speed of calculations, software responsiveness
- RAM → affects multitasking, number of apps open, smoothness
- SSD → affects storage speed, file IO, app loading
- Backups → safety net for mistakes and crashes
- Bandwidth → affects internet-dependent apps
If something feels slow, support can check your machine and tell you exactly what needs upgrading.
🧩
Can I upgrade my resources later?
Yes.
CPU, RAM, and storage can be increased at any time:
- no downtime
- no data loss
- no reinstall
- immediate effect
You only pay the difference in your monthly plan.
✔ Summary
Your cloud desktop includes:
- 4 vCPU
- 8 GB RAM
- 200 GB SSD
- Full backups & snapshots
- High-speed networking
All of these resources run on our enterprise-grade servers, monitored and optimized for performance, reliability, and security.
