Cloud Based Desktop Virtualisation

You recall my article about the Cloud. Also I have simply explained what Virtual Desktops can do for businesses. Cloud based VD (Virtual Desktops) can even offer faster recovery, faster access and more secure infrastructures. Cloud based virtualisation was mostly for computer servers in the past as businesses thought it was best. But we all know without the people working on the office floor, there would be virtually no business to run. This can translate to computers on the office floor (the desktops), without them the servers virtually have nothing to do. Some application of this technology would be;

  • Small businesses given the ability to create, add, remove, manage and secure desktops in faster ways than we could. Not only is this faster to deploy now, the same hardware can be reused for upgrades when they do occur without much extra cost

 

  • Home workers can easily connect to their desktops anywhere in the world and work seamlessly without no additional costs involved. Any device can also be used to access the desktops, this gives the business a wide range of workers with different parts of the world working securely.

 

  • Disaster recovery is a big part of businesses now as more and more companies cannot afford to lose working hours in this fast paced world. Cloud based virtualisation offer a very robust method of easily backing up desktops that can be implemented again with low cost.

Conclusion: It would seem like the key word for advertising cloud based virtualisation is lower cost. The benefits actually go beyond that for a company ready to roll out this fairly new technology to its workers. This article has tried to outline the major strengths and selling points for the cloud VDs which includes but not limited to faster deployment, easier management, flexible desktop roll outs and efficient disaster recovery system.

Virtual Desktops Any Good?

Physical desktop is dying in the business world. Not only are they expensive, insecure, and maintenance-heavy, they also cannot change fast enough to accommodate the fast paced change of software and services.

Virtualisation, however, is helping mitigate many of the challenges of traditional virtual desktop infrastructure at an increasing rate. Companies can now better manage their desktops and give the full infrastructure increase in these values

•Centralized management

•Improved data security

•Simplified deployment

There are a number of ways to virtualise desktops. They can be cloud based or managed by the company. Anyway used, virtual desktops achieve many benefits without the excessive costs, limitations, or hassles of straight forward physical desktops. To a small or large businesses, there is essentially no reason to migrate the complexities and costs ofmanaging physical desktops to another complex and expensive infrastructure. Choosing the technology used needs proper planning and costing to choose effectively.

These benefits alone make Virtual Desktops especially cloud based a very well considerable choice for big and small companies alike.
