Save money, be secure with virtual desktops

If your business is seasonal or your support / remote teams requirements change often, procuring hardware that you are not always going to use, can be expensive. With remote teams / contract works you also have little control over device usage.

Apart from the expense, do not forget there is always a security risk when third parties or remote staff log in to your network. There is an option that can save you money and provide excellent security - Virtual Desktops.

With virtual desktops your employees can access their Windows desktop from anywhere, on any device. Virtual desktops are a cloud-based solution that allows your businesses to run their Windows desktops in the cloud, providing secure and scalable access to their applications and data.
