Virtual Desktop

Virtualisation technology is becoming widely adopted by many organisations as a method of reducing costs and simplifying the administration of their core servers. 
But the capabilities of virtualisation extend beyond the back-office systems and can also be rolled out to the workforce in the form of a virtualised and standardised desktop environment.  For the user, the transition to the hosted solution is seamless and their day-to-day desktop is essentially the same as ever. 
However, rather than being delivered locally, their applications, data, custom user settings and shared network services are delivered through the cloud on Skye’s virtual platform.

This offers some key benefits:

• Greater Manageability – data is held securely in the cloud, enabling IT to simplify management and exercise greater control.
• More Efficient Working – hosting your desktops in the cloud essentially closes the gap between them and your servers making access to data much quicker and application performance as good as, if not better than that of a standard local PC.
• Enhanced Security – storing data on the cloud eliminates the risk posed by theft or damage. Even if devices are lost, stolen or destroyed your data remains safe and allows you to quickly and efficiently restore a user’s desktop to an alternative machine.
• Complete Mobility – provisioning new users is incredibly quick and easy and due to the way in which the service is delivered, employees can access the system securely from anywhere.
• Simplified License Management – the virtual desktop allows you to determine the software available to each user and under Microsoft’s Service Provider License Agreement we can deliver it as and when needed for a minimal monthly subscription that further helps to reduce costs.

Cost Efficiency – having already built our own platform, we’ve made the investment so that you don’t have to. You can leverage our enterprise class technology solutions and replace that unattractive upfront cost with a controlled and predictable monthly charge.
