Advantage Application Virtualization Virtualizing applications and centralizing information enables secure access by users, connecting from anywhere, internal or external. Virtualization accomplishes this by safely extending the corporate network, avoiding application installation on client devices, and making it easier to secure information within the confines of the data center. Security The entire foundation of our hosting solution was designed with Security in mind. It is not just an afterthought, its our primary concern. Is it yours? Almost everyone has a need to access their business data remotely these days. Many smaller businesses don’t have an ‘office’ at all or maybe even a need for one. Thus, having access to your line of business applications and documents securely and remotely, is a necessity. There are so many businesses, small and large, whose remote users connect back to their workplace via software-based VPN tunnels, usually loosely configured PPP and MS CHAP configurations that send your usernames and passwords in clear text over the internet. Yes, it’s true. Access to our system (your system) is achieved only through secure web connections derived from hardware appliances and security devices whose primary function is first line of defense security. Performance All applications run on our dual or quad core HP servers in our high availabiity data center. Backend systems such as CRM's, ERP, Accounting and Sales Tools are all real time. Regardless of geography, your performance from a branch office, remote location or home office will be the same as the corporate office. Cost Savings No longer reliant on the local processing power of the PC you can significantly extend the life cycle of these units and choose to replace as they retire with much less expensive, diskless workstations. This alone can lead to 50-80% savings in hardware expenditures over time. Companies with multiple locations or remote or home utilization will notice a significant decrease in support cost. Migration and upgrade labor costs are a thing of the past. And, based on a user ID, not device premise or a fixed cost of an employee or contractor, your cost is directly scalable to your staffing needs on a monthly basis. Flexibility Access to your complete system, not just your email, from almost anywhere in the world. A small software application installed on your personal computer at home, with any type of high speed broadband internet service, will provide the end user with the same exact functionality as you get at work every day. Simply access your entire corporate computing environment by browsing to a secure web page and logging in. Minimized Downtime Turning PCs into dumb terminals may be one of the smartest moves you can make when it comes to planning for disaster recovery. There are many advantages to this type of environment, known as thin-client or server-based computing, including lower hardware costs and easier client management. Its inherent built-in facility for disaster recovery can make it an invaluable tool for minimizing employee downtime when the network and its workstations become unavailable. Software Licensing In short, never buy Microsoft software again and receive upgrades without additional cost. The use of any unauthorized software that might contaminate the rest of the network is completely eliminated and concerns with regards to software licensing management and fraud are alleviated with our application service provider model. Virus and Anti-Spam Management With the advent of high-speed internet access for the small to medium-sized business, internet email viruses and worms have to be treated with the utmost level of severity. Your computing environment will be centrally protected from virus infections thus reducing downtime and the administrative overhead associated with manually patching and/or recovering infected machines. Enterprise-class management In a multi-user, server-based environment, all software resides on network servers, making software administration, upgrades, configurations and license administration far easier than in a dispersed PC environment. Any changes to software need to be made only once and all users benefit immediately. |
