Cloud-delivered desktops are virtual desktops delivered as a managed service via the cloud, allowing secure access to applications and data from any device from anywhere. Traditional desktop management has issues for IT, businesses, and users. Cloud-delivered desktops address these issues by offering all necessary servers, networking, security updates, and licensing as a monthly fee. This solution provides benefits like efficiency, optimization, security, cost savings, flexibility, and control for businesses while being environmentally friendly.

What’s Wrong with Traditional Desktops?
• IT Management Issues
• Business Management Issues
• End User Issues
4. 4
IT Management Issues
• Supporting desktops is among the least
productive and largest consumer of IT time.
• The struggle balancing security needs vs. user
productivity leads to unhappy users.

licenses and applications on devices.
• Desktops fail and quickly become obsolete.
• IP and information assets leave your building
every day.
5. 5
Business Management Issues

it’s difficult to control and update en masse.

be integrated and leveraged. Desktop assets are
one of the worst investments.

purchasing cycle.

logistical nightmare.

End User Issues

to locate current versions.

virus scanning.
• Configuration and use issues are based on user skills.
• Wait times can be long to provision/repair devices.

“make the rounds” to update.
• Non-Windows users require PC application access.
