Security

One of the most important aspects of every company is the security of their network. Multiple layers of security are required to protect stored data from unauthorized access, domain name system (DNS) monitoring to prevent malicious sites from planting malware and ransomware into a network, and the security of each of the endpoints connected to that network is reliant on what the user accesses. By having your data stored in a central location protected with your security layers rather than spread out across the network, the chances of unauthorized access and data loss is drastically reduced.    

Flexibility

There is little to no difference between what a user sees accessing a traditional desktop environment as compared to what they see with a virtualized desktop. While there are a few security checkpoints the user will need to pass in order to access your network, once accessed, they are essentially running on an environment that is the same as a traditional desktop, but virtualized.  

Manageability

IT staff and management will have a window into every desktop environment on the network in one centralized location. Administrators can add or remove a new or existing client with just a few clicks of their mouse, set specific permissions to individual users or groups, allocate storage and bandwidth from one interface, and monitor users’ activity through one pane of glass.  

Transparency

A virtualized desktop gives you access to every aspect of what’s happening on the endpoint. You can monitor activity through each of the clients and populate reports regularly that help your team to have better insight as to the productivity of your workforce. Doing so will better serve you to make decisions with immediate implementation regarding resource allocation and permissions.  Not only will you have greater insight as to what’s happening on your network, you’ll also have full visibility of each user’s activity within the network.
