An alternative to the traditional in-house IT network.
Is your company server due for an upgrade? Have you put off an upgrade for some time due to the cost, but now you have got to the point where an upgrade is essential?
Well if the answer is yes, then before you spend out on your new server hardware and software, why not consider a hosted desktop solution?
What is a Hosted Desktop Solution?
2010 is the year of the Hosted service. last year, businesses started to cotton on to the idea of moving over to Hosted Solutions mainly because of the money they could save by using this platform instead of their traditional IT Network. it is estimated that by the end of 2010 over 30% of businesses will implement some sort of Hosted solution in their business, whether it be online backup or hosted email.
A hosted desktop solution replaces your existing IT network with an external hosted server. Users access their “virtual desktops” via the internet from their existing pcs. A virtual desktop looks and feels exactly the same as a local pc, for example you can change your wallpaper, access network drives and use external peripherals such as printers, external drives and USB keys. In short you could not tell the difference between a local desktop and a virtual server. The only difference is in the price.
On average it is estimated that a small business can save up to £5000.00 by moving over to a hosted desktop solution. This factor alone together with the fact that you get a nice shiny new network make this solution a no brainer for most companies that find out about the solution.
