10 Ways Hosted Desktops are Changing the Traditional Desktop Model
1.
2. These days, many business owners and managers are giving
Desktop Hosting Solutions a lot of thought; and with good reason.
Hosted Desktops, particularly those from onthenetOffice,
hold a lot of advantages over the traditional desktop model.
Here are ten reasons why onthenetOffice
Hosted Desktops are better suited for
businesses than traditional IT infrastructures.

3. BETTER PERFORMANCE
Waiting for applications to launch or slow computers to load is common
practice in traditional IT scenarios. Inconsistent backups and maintenance
add to this already inefficient model. Virtual Hosted Desktops are better
alternatives that allow businesses to maintain their IT performance at
optimal levels without huge cost or effort.
At onthenetOffice our engineers have developed SMX Speed Technology
to deliver the world’s fastest hosted desktop, which launches applications
in under 1 second! onthenetOffice is dedicated to keeping your Hosted
Desktops running at their optimal level. Automated offsite backups and
constant, dedicated maintenance come standard.

4. REDUCE COSTS
As a business, your bottom line is one of your top priorities.
With traditional IT infrastructures unexpected upfront costs and
ongoing maintenance can really damage a company’s budget. Companies
that switch their IT infrastructure to a Hosted Desktop model experience
significant savings. They no longer have to acquire or manage expensive
onsite hardware such as servers; instead, their infrastructure is housed on
our servers for a low monthly fee, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional
IT infrastructure. With an all-inclusive, flat monthly rate there are
no unexpected costs.
There are no upfront costs and, in most
cases, the migration process is FREE.

5. SECURITY
Desktop Hosting can be more secure than traditional IT Infrastructures.
Rather than keeping servers onsite, vulnerable to natural disasters and
malicious attacks, Hosted Virtual Desktops are stored at offsite, world-
class data centers. They are backed up and monitored 24x7x365.
onthenetOffice goes even further by providing 4-D Security, a four-tiered
approach to security that ensures that our Hosted Desktops are among
the most secure on the market.

6. MOBILITY
With a traditional desktop, access is limited to a single device. With a
Hosted Desktop, on the other hand, employees can access their desktop
from anywhere with any Internet-enabled device. onthenetOffice users
have access to their data and applications whether they are in the office,
at home, or traveling. Being anywhere-enabled allows your staff to have
better levels of collaboration without jeopardizing the security of your
data and system.
Access your desktop from anywhere.

7. GREEN
Virtual Desktops are a green alternative to traditional
IT infrastructures for two main reasons:
They create less e-waste (hardware doesn’t need to be
1 replaced as often because it is better utilized)
They are more energy efficient (sharing servers at
2 state-of-the-art data centers utilizes less energy than
running underutilized servers on premise).
onthenetOffice is dedicated to helping our clients be more
environmentally-sound with their use of their IT resources.

8. MAINTAINED BY PROVIDER
Maintaining a business’s IT infrastructure can be difficult. With a Hosted
Desktop, maintenance is handled by the service provider. With Desktop
Hosting solutions, business owners and employees don’t have to worry
about updates, security monitoring, or any other tedious processes;
instead, they can focus on serving their clients.
With onthenetOffice, our clients receive all-inclusive,
24x7x365 technical support for no additional cost.

9. SCALABLE
Scalability is a big advantage of Hosted Desktops; it allows the provider
to accommodate the growth of your business and the ensuing need for
a larger infrastructure. Scalability guarantees that even as your system
grows it retains its same basic composition and proportions.
Drastic changes in use can sometimes slow down a traditional PC desktop
environment, but the scalable nature of Hosted Desktops from
onthenetOffice, allows them to maximize resources and ensure optimal
performance even in times of change.

10. MANAGEABILITY
Hosted Desktops are easier to manage than traditional PC desktops.
Because all of a company’s Virtual Hosted Desktops are stored on a single
server, they are easier to monitor and control. They can be easily moved,
created, destroyed, or quarantined.
onthenetOffice technicians can customize your infrastructure
to give you increased control over your system.

11. DATA BACKUP
Data loss can be devastating to a business; it can cause lost revenue or even
the loss of a reputation. Traditional IT infrastructures rely on the company
to remember to perform backups on a regular basis, which doesn’t always
happen. On the other hand, Hosted Desktops rely on scheduled, automated
backups. Data is stored remotely, on an off-site server housed in state of the
art data centers. Dependable Hosted Desktop providers include routine data
backups with their services, so that a business can remain assured that their
data will not be lost in the event of a disaster.
Technicians at onthenetOffice perform daily offsite backups
of all of our clients’ data.

12. UPTIME GUARANTEES
With traditional on-site infrastructures, downtime is inevitable: viruses or
other forms of malware, natural disasters, and other events can cause your
desktops to fail.
With Virtual Desktop Solutions, your Desktops and data are always
available. onthenetOffice hosted desktops are housed in our state-of-the-
art data centers equipped with environmental protection systems, fire
suppression systems, redundant Internet connectivity and other controls
that ensure a 100% uptime guarantee.
