the loop between your desktops and your
datacenter. It provides a unified platform
that integrates desktop data with the business continuity solution for your hosted
servers, data, and services.
Empower innovation with IT
accessibility
People may still sketch things on paper
and whiteboards, but the real work happens on the desktop environment. That’s
where people write, design, engineer, and
crunch numbers. It’s also where we surf,
e-mail, schedule, instant message, and
collaborate remotely. Providing a flexible,
secure, and productive desktop environment is one of the most important IT tasks
for enabling workers to create the innovative ideas that make your business stand
apart from competitors.
Anytime, anywhere desktop access
Cloud-based desktops give workers the
IT accessibility they need with the security the business needs. It enables mobile,
remote, and home-based workers to connect to everything they could at the office.
Home-based workers can access any local
USB device from their cloud-based desktop
and print to their local printer as easily as a
network printer back at corporate. The sales
team will always have access to the important files on the corporate server – even
when they’re in the middle of nowhere.
Stop desktop downtime
Few things around the office are as
frustrating as a PC or laptop problem that
keeps you from working. A single incident
of desktop downtime may not only affect
the productivity of that person but his or
her team and department. And, of course,
it increases the workload for tech support
and the help desk.
But it could be worse. What if a traveling worker on a sales trip has his laptop
stolen or destroyed? Laptops are valuable
– but not nearly as valuable as the data
they hold.
You can prevent desktop downtime
with a virtual desktop solution. Individual
desktops are generated from standardized
disk images that can be deployed, config-
ured, and migrated centrally. This also pro-
vides the benefit of allowing the help desk
to easily assist employees outside the main
office and liberating IT staff from one-at-
a-time fixes so they can spend more time
supporting strategic business priorities.
The technology to affordably
reduce risk
With a cloud infrastructure solution you
can add redundancy, recovery, and reliability to your IT strategy. You can secure
datacenter and desktop data with a backup
and restoration plan that minimizes downtime caused by anything from hurricanes
to lost laptops.
Luck isn’t enough. Know you’re ready
with a cloud-based solution that not just protects your data, but ensures you can restore
services – no matter what unexpected problem tries to disrupt your business.
