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.

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.

REDUCE COSTS

There are no upfront costs and, in most cases, the migration process is FREE.

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.

SECURITY

4

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.

MOBILITY

Access your desktop from anywhere.

5

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.

GREEN

1They create less e-waste (hardware doesn’t need to be replaced as often because it is better utilized)

2They are more energy efficient (sharing servers at 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.

Virtual Desktops are a green alternative to traditional IT infrastructures for two main reasons:

MAINTAINED BY PROVIDER

With onthenetOffice, our clients receive all-inclusive, 24x7x365 technical support for no additional cost.

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.

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.

MANAGEABILITY

onthenetOffice technicians can customize your infrastructure to give you increased control over your system.

9

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.

Technicians at onthenetOffice perform daily offsite backups of all of our clients’ data.

DATA BACKUP

10

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.
