Your Tally application and company data are hosted on a secure virtual server, and you connect to that server using a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client \u2014 the same way you&#8217;d remote into any computer, except this one is purpose-built to run Tally 24\/7 with backups, security, and uptime guarantees built in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:170;940-1109\">Once connected, Tally behaves exactly as it would on a local machine \u2014 same interface, same shortcuts, same reports \u2014 the only difference is where it&#8217;s actually running.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:42;1111-1152\">What You Need to Access Tally on Cloud<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:79;1154-1232\">Getting access is simpler than most people expect.
