| What It Is? A hosted desktop basically means your IT operating software and desktop items are hosted on a central server,location usually in a data center with thousands of other servers. This means that all the information is stored and maintained locally. Users are given login credentials allowing them to access there desktop anywhere there is an network connection available. This takes the responsibility of upgrades, anti virus and security issues to the hosting company. This gives the advantage of the business not having to buy expensive server or software as this is provided by the hosted company, giving the business as a whole less downtime. Safe And Secure Data centers that hold the servers, are fully air conditioned, with back up supply, ensuring availability of your important documents and desktop applications. The login's should have a 128-bit data encryption (similar to Internet banking) and logging in varies from company to company. Systems are protected against natural disaster. Email systems are monitored closely and every email is scrutinized before being received on the users work station. Easy To Maintain Perhaps the biggest advantage to the company owner over more conventional client/server method's is that setup is easy to maintain. The hosting company is responsible for keeping your infrastructure up and running. Adding additional users is easy. All that is needed is a user workstation and monitor and the hosting company takes care of the rest. One of the main benefits of the hosted desktop set-up is for the client on the move. No need to log in to your sluggish unresponsive work desktop, instead all of your data is provided on request, via anywhere you can get a logged on. This also protects the client of theft or loss of data, as the information is stored on the desktop. Just replace the equipment and have the peace of mind. However, perhaps the biggest advantage to the company owner is the cost. This is all packaged into a low monthly cost. Meaning there is no need for costly server hardware and desktop software, or for the staff to monitor and upgrade them. IT Costs can be easily monitored allowing the business owner the freedom to do what they do best, manage there company. Neil Maycock writes articles for http://www.lowcostit.com.au |
