CloudDesk

Run multiple programs from our servers — And access them from any device…

You need certain business applications. And you need them to function in very specific ways. But your business has outgrown the solutions you’ve been able to patch together for yourself. Or you’re investing so much in hardware and software that ROI on your business systems is now in doubt.

Obviously, persisting with your existing ‘solutions’ simply isn’t working for you anymore. You need to find a better way.

CloudDesk is the solution. With CloudDesk, you get all the programs you need, with none of the headaches of maintaining them. We host them for you, and you simply log in. From anywhere, on any device.

Examples

Your RequirementOur Solution
You need a test environment for evaluating new programs - risk free - before rolling them out on your own system.We host them for you. You can test to your heart's content, without investing in all the hardware and software required to run it.
Your server is a single point of failure that exposes your business to too much risk.Our servers and network are highly available. If one fails, another instantly takes over its workload. Our backups are checked and verified daily, and our spam filters and anti-virus definitions are updated every 15 minutes.
You want to become more environmentally friendly. Ever wondered how much electricity you use powering and cooling your servers, 24/7? And what happens to your computers when they're retired. Do you just dump them?By sharing resources, and using only those you need, you significantly reduce your carbon footprint and your expenditure.
You want to avoid or eliminate the costs of running a server farm and continually upgrading hardware and software.We already run the server farm - it's what we do. So we absorb the costs of hardware and software upgrades.
You need critical files and confidential data stored.We have world-class security in place already.

CloudDesk is your entire desktop running on our servers

CloudDesk is simply this: Windows — and all the applications you need — running on our servers, instead of your computer. You simply log in from anything with internet access (any old computer, your iPhone or iPad, the neighbour’s fridge…), and “Hey presto!”, your whole business system is there waiting for you, raring to go. No matter where you are.

All you need on your computer is a web browser

Wherever you are, whatever device you’re using, your entire Windows environment and all your business applications are at your fingertips. The only thing you need on your computer is some sort of web browser. In effect, your computer becomes just a doorway to your business systems. In fact, you can use any computer, anywhere in the world. Any internet enabled device, for that matter.

So no more technical headaches

When you run your entire desktop — Windows, programs, everything — via ‘the cloud’, your IT can’t get in the way of business. Because you have no IT. It’s all over here, on our servers. That means your inhouse technical knowledge can’t hold you back. In fact, it means you don’t have to think about the technical side of things at all. You can completely forget about hardware failures, software compatibility, upgrades, networks, backups, file sharing and so on. That all becomes our job.

All you need to do is log in, and everything works exactly as the box said it would.

The full desktop versions, not web-apps

Note that we’re not talking about ‘web’ versions of your programs here. We’re talking about the desktop versions you’re used to. They look and behave exactly as they do on your computer — because they are exactly the same.

Can it help your team & clients too?

When your team’s using CloudDesk too, you all get networking, file sharing and collaboration as part of the deal. It’s just… well… there. So you can all work wherever you need to work, and your IT infrastructure supports you, without the headache of maintaining your own client-server environment.

And your clients don’t miss out either. If you need them to access certain parts of your business systems (e.g. application, a file, an intranet, an extranet or a desktop), we just assign them a login with customised permissions.

A better way of doing things

In other words, CloudDesk is like a better version of your entire computer, and the rest of your team’s computers, all plugged in and networked together, over here in our secure data centre. Running all the apps you’re using now, as well as the ones you always wished you could.

A version that infinitely easier, because you just log in and you’ve got everything.

And you pay only for the capacity you need, as you need it

Why pay now for IT you may need in the future? CloudDesk is a lot more flexible than that. Instead of investing in worst-case-scenario hardware and software, you simply maintain an average computer with internet access, and tell us what operating system and applications you need now, and how many users need access now. And that’s all you pay for. If you need more in the future, tell us about it then, and we’ll switch it on for you. (Of course, if you need to downscale at any time, we can switch things back off for you too.)

With CloudDesk, you pay only for what you need, and you stop paying when you no longer need it. Try doing that with a traditional desktop or networked environment!
