Desktop Virtualization Benefits

Hosted virtual desktops benefit from the latest trends in IT – the expectation of always-on services and access to business applications through numerous client devices, hardware virtualization of desktops and servers, cloud hosted services, and outsourcing to vendors who specialize in cloud services. Business owners, IT staff members, and managers would do well to pursue the business goals rather manage employee desktops and associated software applications. A hosted virtualized desktop from Apps4Rent delivers your desktop computing environment at a low, fixed cost that is calculated on a per user basis, month-to-month and comes with 24 x 7 free end-user support.

Virtualization of Desktops in the Cloud adds Flexibility

Flexibility in IT infrastructure makes organizations more nimble. Teams are formed instantly around projects, team members work from several locations in different time zones. With hosted virtual desktops, IT staff can quickly configure the appropriate applications, change hardware resources on desktops, manage security, and administer from anywhere. It is always good to have some hosted virtual desktops around with pre-installed applications to meet changing demands. At other times, special applications and environments are needed case by case for short periods for specific users. It is easy to meet that demand with hosted dedicated desktops. Round the clock availability of the desktop infrastructure and knowledgeable support from Apps4Rent’s staff adds to the flexibility.

Other cost benefits can come from: support costs are predictable with fixed monthly fee, avoidance of upfront capital costs of keeping up with the latest hardware setups and the requisite software, and desktop resources can be configured just right.
