Virtual Desktop

Imagine having your own personalised desktop accessible from any device with an internet connection - your laptop, tablet or even your smartphone.

A Virtual Desktop is a cloud-based desktop computing environment that runs on remote servers and is accessed over the internet. It works by hosting your desktop operating system and applications in a centralised data centre, allowing you to access them from any device with an internet connection.

Hybrid Cloud

Seamlessly integrate your on-premises infrastructure with the cloud for a hybrid deployment.

A Hybrid Cloud is a cloud computing environment that combines both public and private clouds allowing data and applications to be shared between them. It offers flexibility, scalability, and customisation while maintaining security and control.

Benefits

Cost Efficiency and Predictability

Cloud services operate on a pay-as-you-go model, eliminating the need for large capital expenditures on hardware and reducing ongoing operational costs. Organisations only pay for the resources they use.
Reduced Hardware Costs. With Virtual Desktop, you can extend the lifespan of your physical devices since most processing occurs on the server side, reducing the need for high-end user devices.
Lower Energy Consumption. Fewer power-hungry desktops or workstations result in reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills.
Cloud services often offer predictable pricing models, making it easier for organisations to budget and forecast IT expenses.

Scalability

Cloud environments can easily scale up or down based on demand. This flexibility allows organisations to handle traffic spikes, seasonal variations, and growth without the need for significant upfront investments in hardware.
Easy Scaling: Adding or removing virtual desktops to accommodate changes in workforce size is more straightforward and cost-effective than traditional hardware provisioning.
Cloud resources can automatically scale up or down based on traffic patterns, ensuring optimal performance during peak usage and cost savings during off-peak times.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Enhanced Security

Centralised Data Control: Data is stored and managed centrally on servers, reducing the risk of data loss or security breaches due to theft or device damage.
Data Encryption: Virtual Desktop often includes encryption features, ensuring data is protected during transmission and storage.
Remote Wipe: In case of a lost or stolen device, data can be remotely wiped from the virtual desktop to prevent unauthorised access.
Cloud providers invest heavily in security measures, including data encryption, access controls, and compliance certifications. This often results in improved security compared to on-premise solutions.

Improved Accessibility

Anytime, Anywhere Access: Employees can access their virtual desktops from anywhere with an internet connection, promoting remote work and flexibility.
Device Independence:Virtual desktops can be accessed from various devices, including smartphones and tablets, providing users with a familiar environment on any device.
Remote Work Support: Cloud infrastructure supports remote work by providing secure access to resources from anywhere with an internet connection, ensuring business continuity in times of crisis.
