Minimize Cost and Reduce Hardware Dependence
Compass Consulting provides expertise for implementing hosted desktops. Desktop virtualization, or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is a method of hosting personal workstations via a remote central server typically in a data center. The centralized server is used to process and control data and applications which are accessible by remote workstations including PCs, laptops, and Thin Clients. The benefits of the powerful centralized server are shared across all remote workstations.
Key Benefits
- Centralized Management—Software and hardware updates can be performed on a single central server and those changes will be reflected on all remote workstations without any additional maintenance. This is a huge time saver versus having to manually update, install, and maintain individual workstations.
- Backup and Disaster Recovery—All workstation data is stored on a centralized server, so it is automatically backed up. It is also simple to recover in the event of a disaster, even if the physical workstation is damaged or destroyed.
- Remote Access—Because the workstation is accessible from a centralized server, it is always available for access from a remote location, including home, the office, or on the road.
- Minimize Hardware Dependence—The remote workstation and all installed software can be accessed from almost any computer or mobile device with a network connection, minimizing dependence on specific hardware.
- Cost Effective—The software needed to run the remote connection requires very low processing power. Since the remote computer is separate from the powerful central server, money can be saved by purchasing several low cost workstations and a powerful central server, instead of several high cost workstations.
- Security—Since all data is stored on a centralized server, the damage or loss of a remote workstation does not compromise data security.
