Desktop as a Service (DaaS)

A Better Way to Run Your Business

As the need for employees to work productively from remote locations expands exponentially, IT departments are working furiously to create or expand their remote access solutions. These virtual solutions, effective for immediate needs, are driving many organizations to explore how to support their remote teams in the long-term while ensuring continued:

Corporate data and network protection
High productivity
Ease-of-use regardless of device

We help clients migrate successfully to virtual Desktop as a Service (DaaS) environments, while keeping costs down and availability high, with a secure solution that ramps up quickly to support an entire remote organization.

What is DaaS?

Our managed solution lets users mimic their office desktop experience securely away from the office on any supported device. Images are deployed in the Cloud, which users connect to securely using their browser or an app. Desktop images can be customized for users groups, allowing custom applications and network access to be tailored for each user, while we maintain those images to meet your security requirements at the highest patch level.

Our solution saves organizations money compared with tradition desktops and on-premise solutions, while simplifying your remote desktop delivery strategy and providing a long-term solution.

Getting Started with DaaS

Consider the Following Capabilities Before Getting Started with DaaS:

	Connectivity	Where do these desktops need to connect? Do you need to support heavy network usage?
	Sharing	Does each user need a separate desktop or can they share? Multiple users can connect to the same desktop and share resources, further reducing costs.
	Location	Where will these desktops be located? Are they local or geographically distant?
	Performance	What are the current physical desktop hardware specifications?
	Quantity	How many users do you anticipate using the environment at Peak times? How many base images do you need to support your users?
	Authentication	Should you use Multi-Factor Authentication? Is your Active Directory already integrated with 0ffice 365 / Azure?
	Software	What software needs to be deployed to each desktop? Are there any special licensing restrictions?
	Persistence	Do you need desktops to be persistent? Can they reset after every user logs off?
	Operating System	Do you need to maintain Windows 7? Support for Windows 7 can be extended by moving to Windows Virtual Desktops
