SMB Private Cloud for Services firms: Higher productivity

Less downtime, lower costs with SMB Private Cloud

Services firms, whether they are providing financial, accounting, legal or technology services, want to minimize disruption to employee productivity as this impacts revenues and margins.

SMB Private Cloud benefits for services firms include:

• Minimize disruption to end-users from patching and update cycles.   With SMB Private Cloud, the desktops can be in active use while you are preparing updates and patches to the master images. Once you are ready to deploy, you can control via policies when the desktops get refreshed. This minimizes disruption to manufacturing PCs and end-users.
• Reduce unplanned downtime.   With SMB Private Cloud, if a desktop misbehaves, simply regenerate a pristine desktop from the template. Schedule and plan when desktops are refreshed to minimize disruption.
• Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery.  SMB Private Cloud’s built-in high availability ensures business continuity in the event of a server failure. Since SMB Private Cloud desktops can be securely accessed from any location including home, you can provide business continuity in the case of events like power failure at an office site.
• Easy to replicate with IT of varying expertise.  SMB Private Cloud can be deployed and managed easily by desktop IT — this makes it easy to replicate SMB Private Cloud across sites which may have IT staff of varying skillsets, without re-training.
• Reduce desktop support and management by over 80%.  SMB Private Cloud virtual desktops lower both upfront and ongoing desktop costs. SMB Private Cloud requires minimal upfront investment, and runs on inexpensive commodity servers. Customers estimate over 80% reduction in desktop support costs using SMB Private Cloud. If a desktop misbehaves, simply regenerate a new pristine desktop. To update and patch desktops, simply update the master image and all the desktops get the latest changes.
• Efficiently manage remote branches.   Services firms often have dispersed remote locations with small headcount where it becomes hard to justify local IT resources. With SMB Private Cloud, you can deploy SMB Private Cloud desktop servers at these remote sites for optimal desktop performance over a LAN while IT manages them centrally from one location. This preserves user experience while lowering management costs.
• Kiosks.  SMB Private Cloud makes it easy to setup kiosks to manage the shop floors. SMB Private Cloud’s kiosk-mode enables you to specify desktops based on the endpoint devices, and automates their provisioning and management.
