How Cloud-Hosted Desktops Fulfill Your Business Needs

Technology is constantly evolving to improve functionality and productivity. Recently, there have been massive developments in the cloud computing sector. Advancements like DaaS are a great option for a number of businesses.

What is a Cloud-Hosted Desktop?

A cloud-hosted desktop is a convenient and innovative way to upgrade your technology at work. Cloud-hosted computers like Desktop-as-a-Service have become extremely popular for businesses within the past year. This is thanks to recent tech advances and a push for a focus on work-from-home solutions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. How can your company benefit from cloud computing?

Gain Remote Access

All your employees can access their work files, software, and applications securely from any device with an internet connection. Remote access allows your employees to work from anywhere! A remote approach can allow you to save money on building costs and easily diversify your workforce.

Increase Productivity

Employ a cloud-hosted desktop and watch productivity levels soar. Employees are able to get their work done at any time without having to worry about getting to the office. If something needs to be completed immediately, an employee can get it done no matter when or where!

Cloud Computing is Cheap

Believe it or not, cloud computing is actually cheaper than many traditional options. Rather than paying for all the hardware, storage, and processors, you just pay a monthly fee for your subscription. Additionally, you only pay for what you need. In traditional work environments, when there is an empty desk, you're still paying for that equipment. On the other hand, when you use cloud computing, you can simply add and remove users as your workforce needs.

Easy to Monitor

Everything is in one place with cloud computing. Not in the same way all your hardware is at the office, though. At the office, each computer has its own files, in cloud computing, all files are accessible from a single device. Unlike traditional desktops, you can monitor who has access to which files and even for how long.  

Unifies your Team

Your entire work team will all be using the same programs. In other words, you won't have to worry about converting files from one department to another. A secondary part of unification comes from updates. Every single employee's software can be updated at once because it comes from one single server.

 Environmentally Friendly

Traditional computing can be very wasteful. When hardware gets old, it can be a challenge to recycle the tech properly. Limit tech turnover by investing in cloud computing. Every time technology is upgraded, simply update your entire cloud service to enjoy the new features.
