SMB Private Cloud for Manufacturers: Better margins

Less downtime, lower costs with SMB Private Cloud

Unplanned downtime of either the manufacturing PCs or user desktops is expensive to manufacturers as it disrupts production. SMB Private Cloud helps manufacturers reduce unplanned downtime, minimize disruption to users, while increasing the flexibility of administrators and lowering costs.

SMB Private Cloud benefits for manufacturers include:

• Reduce unplanned downtime.   With SMB Private Cloud, you can control when desktops get refreshed with the latest changes to minimize disruption. Schedule updates so they hit when the PCs are least in use.
• End-user productivity untouched by patching 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.
• Easy to replicate with IT of varying expertise. SMB Private Cloud can be deployed and managed easily — this makes it easy to replicate SMB Private Cloud across manufacturing 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 costs. 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.
• Kiosks. SMB Private Cloud makes it easy to setup kiosk 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.
