Virtual Desktop & Cloud Computing
Virtual Desktop & Cloud Computing Service Rationale:
Virtual desktop offers you the convenience of local software suites with a centralised file storage solution, driven by powerful server clusters that are located in secure data centres and maintained by highly trained professionals. All with no initial capital expenditure.Do you know what the total cost of ownership is of operating a conventional desktop / laptop is?
Consider these costs:
- IT management on to cover all your locations to cover the times your employees work.
- Capital outlays based on time elapsed / headcount growth.
- Hardware refreshes / upgrades.
- Software upgrades.
- Disparate islands of data scattered around the hard drives getting into the wrong hands.
- Lost time / unproductive employees whilst desktops with issues are waiting to be resolved.
Netplan Hosted Desktop is fully managed, out-sourced enterprise-grade server hosting solution for businesses.
All applications will be run on Netplan's servers, located in our data centres in Coventry and London. Users have access to the latest version of Microsoft Office Professional.
Additionally we can install any proprietary accounting or auditing software that you need that is capable of running in a terminal services environment; all businesses have to do is provide the original licensed software. Netplan will fully maintain the system and provide free software updates and patches as necessary for the duration of the contract.
We offer free backups of data every 4 hours and run the latest firewall technology to keep user files safe. In addition to 24-7-365 telephone technical support, we have multiple redundancies on our power supply and connectivity, meaning that we can keep our client's business online 24-7-365 too. The service is backed by a 100% service level agreement.
The benefits of a Netplan Hosted Desktop system are many:
When using a Hosted Desktop, you just log on to the machine as normal, but you work in an environment that is running on one of our servers rather than in the box next to your desk. Hosted Desktop is the new way to run an office. By virtualising and outsourcing software and server hosting, you save money and time and gain reliability, performance and security.
