Cloud Computing (Online Desktop) Solution

Making IT easy

Our Online Desktop solution removes much of the headache of supporting managing your IT infrastructure. Whether you are a small company or a large corporate managing capacity, backup, resilience, anti-virus, system updates, software licensing, hardware refreshes and deployments to name but a few tasks can drain resources and prove very costly.

Online Desktop delivers a fully managed environment directly to your existing desktop – it gives you all you need to work anywhere without having to worry about IT.

By implementing a fully managed Cloud Computing service, allows businesses to completely focus on their core activities, without the distraction of running IT.

The Service We Provide

The Online Desktop solutions we provide fall into two categories, Online Desktop Lite and Online Desktop Enterprise.

Online Desktop Lite is aimed at the small business running standard applications, with limited IT knowledge and resource, thereby releasing staff from the burden of worrying about supporting their IT infrastructure allowing 100% utilisation for the business.

The Enterprise solution builds on Online Desktop Lite and adds the ability to “virtualise” less standard and legacy applications and introduces enhanced security features and “out of the box” capacity.

A cloud computing solution will deliver you a high quality IT service, leaving you to do what you do best ......run your business.

Our Experience

Our service is backed up by many industry specialists with many years in the field of virtualisation in the desktop and server world. Virtual environments or “Clouds” can be complex to set up and maintain but by standardising the approach and combining modern technologies with industry experts we can provide a highly stable, resilient, scalable and simple to use alternative to a standard fat client desktop environment.

Benefits

Flexibility Anytime, Anywhere Access (24/7, 365 days a year)

-    Your IT services can be accessed from anywhere in the world via the internet.  Users can work from any suitable location with all access to files and applications, at anytime with exactly the same look, feel and functionality.
-    Ideal for flexible working environments (home-working, ‘hot-desking’)

Flexible Pricing – “pay for what you need when you need it?”

-    The cost module is based on a per person per month tariff for the applications they use. If there is a need to reduce staff numbers monthly costs are actually reduced, and vica-versa monthly costs are increased if staff increase.

Predictable Running Costs

-    Provides organisations with predictable monthly charges. This means that the cost of IT is far easier to budget for and capital expenditure can be utilised in other important areas of the business.
-    The cost of IT now moves from a Capex cost base to an Opex cost base

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

-    As all the IT hardware and business data is stored off-site in purpose built facilities, disasters at office premises such as fires, floods, or power losses no longer impact the business with the same levels of severity. If staff are unable to physically get to the office, they can still continue to work from alternate locations as business data and applications continue to be fully accessible.
-    This gives companies peace of mind that their data is always safe with high levels of security and data protection.

Data Protection

-    With more and more headlines of organisations being fined for poor data security and data protection under the data protection act and FSA companies are now having to invest more in IT to accommodate these practices – cloud computing satisfies this security headache.

System Protection and Updates

-    The cloud environment is tightly controlled and users are not able to make changes to their desktop, as no data is held on your laptop or the PC so there is no danger of data leakage.
-    This keeps the environment consistent, all antivirus, antispyware and anti-malware updates are performed automatically as part of the solution.

Software License Compliance

-    Illegally run software can cost organisations, even small ones, substantial sums in fines and litigation. All software subscriptions are part of the solution therefore companies no longer have concerns with software legal compliance.

No More Existing Hardware & Software & Upgrading to New Hardware & Software
 
-    All existing server infrastructure can be completely removed as it would no longer be required.
-    All server space, mailbox space and applications would be securely hosted in remote datacentre in ‘the cloud’. This means that any maintenance and support, hardware costs and licensing costs for servers (application and file) can be removed.
-    As physical server room space will be freed and not required, power and cooling will be no longer needed for the servers.
-    Companies can comply with the government’s policy on carbon reductions

Support

-    Fully inclusive support and maintenance services, with optional 24 hours a day and 365 days per year coverage

Business Acquisitions

-    As long as there is an internet connection, it is quick and easy for integration of companies

Costs
