Why Businesses Are Moving to Hosted Desktop Services- Could It Be The Right Move For Your Company?

Hosted Desktop product removes the need for the management of traditional desktop PCs and costly IT infrastructure such as servers in your office environment. Instead, staff access their desktop business applications such as Microsoft Office and email securely over the Web through an Internet browser on their PC, laptop or tablet. Hosted Desktop applications look and behave like applications that are managed on in-house systems but the software and data employees access are instead hosted in our highly resilient data centres.

Why are businesses moving to Hosted Desktop services?

Save Money – Your business won’t have to worry about upfront investment in IT hardware and software and paying for ongoing maintenance and breakdowns. With Hosted Desktop you pay a per-user per-month rental that is fully inclusive of all infrastructure and end-user support. The Hosted Desktop system is built on highly resilient corporate level infrastructure that has traditionally been out of the reach of smaller organisations. The system can also be scaled up and down as required to reflect changes in staff numbers within your business.

Secure Access from Anywhere, Anytime – You can access your business applications, data and email from anywhere you have access to the Internet, on a device of your choosing, whether it be Windows, Mac or iPad. Working from home, accessing information on the road, or managing collaboration between multiple offices is now no longer a problem!

Disaster Recovery – Planning for a disaster scenario causes serious headaches for most businesses. The sheer cost and complexity of putting a resilient Disaster Recovery plan in place makes this very difficult. With Hosted Desktop, this is all taken care of for you. If you lose access to your premises you are also able to work from anywhere.

Reduced Cost – Hosted Virtual Desktop removes the need for “traditional” physical desktop PCs in the office environment, and reduces the cost of providing applications and computing services that you need. Savings can be made almost immediately through reductions in capital costs, power, management and other associated soft costs.

Increased Accessibility – Our hosted desktops will look and behave like a regular desktop PC that your employees are used to with the added benefit of having your data and applications stored securely in our data centers and streamed to you at any location. You can access your hosted desktop securely over an internet location via an existing PC or laptop, IPAD or other hand held devices.

Customization – Cloud Strong’s hosted virtual desktop platform, because it’s virtualised allows for genuine user customisation within the virtual environment. So you can install whichever business applications you require and configure the look and feel and basically anything that will help meet your customer’s needs.
