Additional Benefits

• Grow your Business, not your IT Infrastructure

  Moving to hosted workspaces means your organisation no longer has to manage desktops and applications, unlocking time and budget so your business can focus on what matters most. Your IT team is also able to focus on more strategic initiatives instead of software updates, patches and ongoing maintenance.

• Predictable and Simple IT Economics

  Hosted workspaces provide your organisation with enterprise-class technologies on a predictable pay-as-you-go model that enables the business to scale up in busy seasons and reduce expenditures when needed. Expensive and difficult to forecast capital expenditures (CapEx) can be shifted into a predictable monthly expense (OpEx), making it easier and faster to onboard new employees, manage new locations and adapt to business changes.

• Any Device, Anywhere Mobile Access

  Allow users to work from anywhere on any device at any time. Hosted virtual desktops are accessible from anywhere with an internet connectivity, be it at the office, at home, an internet cafe or even when abroad. No matter where users log on from, they get access to their own individual desktop.

• Let your IT Department Focus on your Business Growth

  Hosted virtual desktops allow you to free up your valued IT resources to concentrate on rising your business needs against managing your day-to-day IT issues.

• Maintain Business Compliance

  Virtual desktops are managed centrally and give controlled access. This means no matter where you access your hosted desktop from, it can be centrally managed by IT departments, with controls and permissions easily applied and monitored.

• Add New User Profiles Quickly to the Network

  Hosted desktops are made available on demand, which means they are just a click away. Desktops can be set up and taken live within minutes, ready-to-use and with a full set of Office applications. You can add or remove users as needed. This means that you can add the required desktops for the tenure you need, pay for the desktops for that period and then turn them off when no longer required.

• Secure and Compliant by Design

  With hosted virtual desktop the mantra of Anytime/Anywhere becomes more than just a cliche or buzzword. Hosted desktop features enable you to have access to your applications, documents, and data from anywhere. You are never more than a browser away from the office.

  Enjoy Business Continuity

  As your data is no longer snarled to local hardware even, for example, in the unfortunate event of an office burglary, all your data will be totally safe and your desktops will be accessible immediately.

  Gain Web Access to Files and Applications

  With Virtual Desktops, you can get access to your files and applications via a web browser. You simply go to the given web URL and login using the credentials given to you.
