Virtual Desktops are a technology that seems to weave in and out of the technology landscape, and that is for a good reason. Its function is pretty simple: to deliver a desktop operating system to a remote user. The reasons why a business might explore virtual desktops can be a little bit more expansive. That’s why virtual desktops keep becoming a part of the conversation – they can be the answer to so many issues business face. Want to allow your employees to work remotely? Virtual Desktops. Want to save money on endpoints and have users Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)? Virtual Desktops. Want to centralize your IT management? Virtual Desktops! If you need help with setting up virtual desktops or any other Charlotte IT Services, now is a great time to reach out to us.
The technology has been around for a while and it has evolved. When most people think of virtualization, their minds immediately imagine this complex technology. It doesn’t have to be that way and there really is an option that will accomplish your business goals.
Citrix itself has a variety of delivery options for their products suite. And, Wincourse is the type of Managed Service Provider you can find that specializes in virtualization. We have solutions where we can host the necessary infrastructure tools to deliver those virtual desktops or enable you and your organization to do it on your own.
Employees remotely working from home? They should have virtual desktops!
Let’s dig deeper on those Virtual Desktops options a little further too, and start with Citrix. Citrix has been a leader in desktop and application virtualization for over 30 years. They are pioneers in the industry, and the main reason why Wincourse, your premier provider of Charlotte IT Services, decided to become a Citrix Preferred Partner. Citrix has been constantly evolving, from Remote Desktop Services, to XenApp and XenDesktop, to the cloud offerings they have today. Their solutions address the enterprise to small and medium businesses. They even made acquisitions of networking and file-sharing solutions a couple years back to improve their technologies and make them a more well-rounded solution. They have even found some niche use cases around delivering legacy and server-based applications that we’ll get into in later blogs. But it is important to have a Citrix Partner, so look no further, we can help with navigating some of those options, testing and implementation.
Citrix isn’t the only company to evolve when it comes to virtual desktops, Wincourse has as well. We are not restrained by being a vendor and can offer and expand on the technology for Charlotte IT Services. We offer Desktops as a Service, or DaaS, built through Citrix. It’s a cost-effective model that utilizes our existing secure data center infrastructure to deliver desktops to any device, anywhere, any time. We can alleviate the burden on your organization, whether you are looking at man hours for management and implementation or even housing the workloads on your own infrastructure. And as far as the end-user is aware, they are accessing their desktop just like they would on their personal computer. It is seamless and simple, the way desktop virtualization should be.
