Hosted Desktop On Demand™

Traditional Desktop solutions deployment has a heavy burden of support and application deployment, data security, management and maintenance usually on a per-device and at desk basis. Implementing Hosted Desktop on Demand™ can dramatically reduce that support burden and instantly provide a HIGH level of SECURITY for your company data.

Hosted Desktop On Demand™ is 7global’s Cloud-based hosted alternative to traditional desktop PC solutions. Based on secure Citrix technology, Hosted Desktop On Demand™ allows users to access day to day applications such as Microsoft Office Professional 2010, company documents, files and data easily, held securely in the cloud, using a pay-as-you-go/utility model.

As standard all users have access to Windows desktop, Microsoft Office Professional and Outlook / Exchange email as well 'My Documents' and company shared data. Other companywide applications such as accounting and CRM can also be delivered by utilising additional dedicated or virtual servers to deliver a truly bespoke solution to all users within an organisation.

New desktops can be deployed and available within very short timescales so new employees can be up and running on their first day of employment rather than waiting for their laptop to be delivered, configured, locked down and then issued to them. If you wish – if they have access to the internet then they can access their desktop, shared company data and other company applications even from an iPhone.

Benefits of Hosted Desktop On Demand™  include:

• Flexible  Work anywhere, removing traditional work place and “lights on” tasks
• Value   No new hardware, capital expenditure or big upfront costs. The service is delivered on a monthly subscription

• Secure   Enterprise class security, no local data, secure browser login, restricted access

• Availability  Hosted in highly secure data centres ensuring 24 x 7 high availability and automated back-up

A number of sustainable, energy saving and environmentally responsible features come as standard with the adoption of Hosted Desktop on Demand™ and SaaS solutions e.g.:

• Reduced power consumption of thin client devices verses traditional desktop PCs
• Reduced power consumption of on-site servers and associated cooling by moving to a multi-tenant centralised system
