DownloadOne of the most significant working trends this year has to be the shift to remote working, and its widespread adoption, due mostly to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Without certain remote work solutions, many businesses, quite frankly, would not have survived the past few months.
There are various remote working IT solutions that have made a considerable difference to businesses of all sizes. These include the virtual private network (VPN) that offers a secure connection to office servers; cloud servers for enhanced flexibility; cloud phone services for seamless communications between onsite and remote working, and virtual desktops.
The virtual desktop is a cloud based desktop that provides total flexibility for your workforce, allowing them to access all their familiar apps, files, documents and data from any device, any location, any time. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of virtual desktops when used as remote work solutions.
With staff working via a virtual desktop, your organisation’s security risks are reduced. This is because company data stays on your company’s servers rather than on a local device, so is not subject to local malware or ransomware attacks, loss or corruption. This also delivers in respect of GDPR compliance.
Virtual desktops are designed with built-in security and compliance features. Because you don’t have to rely on the security of the hardware that your worker is using, you can enjoy greater peace of mind that your data is protected.
By deploying virtual desktops as a remote work solution, you get to take control of the applications being used by your workforce. Because instead of using apps installed locally, staff are accessing the programmes you have had installed on your server. Programmes that fit with your policies and security control measures.
This means that if a staff member’s hardware fails, they won’t lose all their work, and they’ll be able to get back up and running quickly, simply by logging into the virtual desktop from a different device.
Virtual desktops have the potential to reduce business costs in a variety of ways. Firstly, capital outlay is cut, because there is no need to invest heavily in individual, memory-heavy PCs and on premise servers. You won’t need to worry about costly hardware maintenance and upgrades either.
Secondly, because all the latest software releases come as standard, you’ll save on software licensing costs. You and your teams will also be working safe in the knowledge that every application you access will be the latest version, updated with all the most recent security and enhancements downloads.
Remote working may not come naturally to everyone, and it is not always the option of choice for some. But in some cases, the fact is, it’s necessary. So if there’s anything you can do to make things more streamlined for your workforce, it’s in your best interests to adopt it in the name of morale and productivity.
Virtual desktops make the transition from office to home working a breeze. The familiarity of a worker’s own desktop instils confidence and a sense of comfort.
Remote work solutions like this also bring freedom for employers when it comes to recruiting. No longer is geographical location a concern, which means a much wider pool of talent is available. This can have a significantly positive impact on the way a business is able to grow.
