The benefits of virtual desktops

Depending on how your business works, the adoption of virtual desktops and migrating access to secure data centres could be a smart move for your business as it offers a host of benefits.

What are virtual desktops?

Virtual desktops bring the power of your computer desktop to the cloud. Instead of relying on a physical device, your desktop environment is hosted in a secure data centre, accessible from any device with an internet connection. This means your workspace is no longer tied to a single computer but can be accessed from laptops, tablets, or even smartphones.

Secure data centre migration

Secure data centre migration involves moving the hosting of your servers and data to a dedicated facility designed for security, reliability, and scalability. This move not only enhances the accessibility of your data but also ensures that it's stored in an environment with advanced security measures, reducing the risk of data loss or breaches.

The tangible benefits for your business

1. Reduced maintenance costs:

Physical devices come with their share of maintenance needs – hardware repairs, software updates, and troubleshooting. Virtual desktops eliminate the need for extensive device-level maintenance. With your desktop environment hosted in a secure data centre, the responsibility for maintenance shifts to the hosting provider, reducing ongoing maintenance costs for your business.

2. Minimised downtime:

Downtime is the enemy of productivity. Physical devices can experience issues that result in downtime for your business operations. Virtual desktops, backed by secure data centre hosting, minimise downtime by offering a reliable and redundant infrastructure. In case of hardware failures or issues, the data centre’s backup systems ensure that your business operations continue without interruption.

3. Enhanced security measures:

Security is a top concern for businesses handling sensitive data. Virtual desktops, when hosted in a secure data centre, benefit from advanced security measures. These include firewalls, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and continuous monitoring, reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring that your business data remains confidential and protected.

4. Scalability for business growth:

As your business grows or changes, so do your IT needs. Virtual desktops offer scalability that aligns with your business growth. Adding new users, expanding storage, or upgrading resources can be seamlessly accomplished without the need for extensive physical hardware changes.

5. Centralised management:

Managing individual devices and servers can be a logistical challenge. The adoption of virtual desktops means software updates, security patches, and system configurations can be efficiently applied across your entire virtual desktop environment from a centralised control point.

6. Device independence:

The traditional model ties your desktop environment to a specific device. Virtual desktops break this barrier, offering device independence. So, whether your team uses laptops, desktops, or tablets, they can access their virtual desktop from any device, promoting flexibility and remote work capabilities.

7. Cost-efficient infrastructure:

Maintaining and upgrading physical servers can be costly. Secure data centre hosting provides a cost-efficient alternative. Hosting your infrastructure in a data centre means you only pay for the resources you use, avoiding the capital expenses associated with maintaining and upgrading physical servers.
