Top 5 Benefits of Hosted Desktop

A hosted desktop is the answer to many of small businesses' problems. From saving money to enjoying easier access to data, a virtual desktop can help take your business to the next level by alleviating day-to-day operations. If you are still thinking about switching to a hosted desktop but are unsure of its features, check out the top 5 benefits of switching your desktop to the cloud.

Lower, more predictable IT cost

Switching to a hosted desktop can significantly reduce your business's operating expenses. Furthermore, when you purchase your plan, you're getting the whole entire package. You will not have to purchase additional equipment or applications to set up the desktop, or hire an IT specialist to fix your problem. When you purchase your desktop subscription, it includes the worry-fee management of your server.

Access from anywhere, anytime

When you switch your desktop to the cloud, you are removing the shackles that have kept you unwillingly attached to your desk for years and years. A virtual desktop can be accessed from any computer that has connection to the Internet, as long as it has permission. This means that you can now work from home, or can check an important file on the weekend without having to drive to the office.

Security

Do you remember when you weren't sure of which anti-virus software to choose, and later your computer was so loaded with viruses that it was completely inaccessible? Switching your desktop to the cloud actually provides more security for your data. Included in your subscription are: anti-spam and anti-virus software, firewall equipment and a monthly backup for your work. Your data is protected with multiple levels of security, and it comes at no extra cost.

Unwavering reliability

Just as people have a false sense of worry that switching to a virtual desktop is insecure, it is also a common myth that they are too unreliable to store data on. However, hosted desktops have access to multiple servers with advanced virtualization software. If in the rare occasion that a particular equipment fails, your virtual server will be switched to an available resource without missing a beat. With a virtual desktop, you will enjoy the peace of mind knowing that your work is fully protected and accessible at any time.

Unlimited resources and data

You no longer have to worry about how much percent of your computer's memory is already used up. A hosted desktop provides unlimited memory and CPU resources, backed by the service's security and reliability. You'll be able to store all of your data in one place, so it will all be accessible for you and your coworkers. You also do not have to worry about transporting data with a hosted desktop; rather than carrying a flash drive around, you can access all of your data simply by connecting to the Internet.

Switching to a hosted desktop provides the security, accessibility, and cost-saving technology that drives businesses. You'll no longer have to worry about how your data is stored, but rather how to improve efficiency in other areas of your company.
