Work is no longer a place.
Secure, reliable, and well maintained PCs as a service - no server hardware, no capital costs, no headaches!
Don't make the mistake of using a VPN to mobilize your workforce…
Why you shouldn't trust VPNs:
Why you should trust VCIT Cloud Desktops:
Overview
Desktops as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud-based solution that allows your staff to access business desktops and applications from any device with a web browser.
DaaS is a modern approach to Windows desktop management, leveraging cloud and security technologies to deliver flexible, secure, and scalable Windows desktops for organizations of all sizes.
VCIT's Cloud Desktops solution is a Windows PC that's hosted in the Microsoft Azure public Cloud, so it's highly available and accessible from anywhere, at any time, using any device.
Yet, thanks to enterprise grade security layers, multi-factor authentication, and other zero-trust initiatives, it's much more secure than typical SMB office PCs and laptops.
Key Benefits
"Reliable access from anywhere" is our mantra - work is no longer a place, it's an activity that can't be constrained by location or time
Zero-trust security is a core design principle, isolating your business IT infrastructure from your office network, without compromising the user experience
Data integrity and loss prevention is also a core design principle, because safeguarding your data is of paramount concern to us
Flexible scaling, utilizing Azure resources on demand, minimizes your IT costs while providing IT that matches your business needs
Zero fuss IT - we manage your apps and data in the Cloud, so you can focus on your business rather than PC maintenance. You benefit from quicker app rollouts, expedient patching, and consistent IT practices
Business Continuity
Mobile access from anywhere, from any device, ensures that your staff can access business critical apps and data despite natural disasters, pandemics, and other unplanned events
Data protection is ensured by storing Cloud Desktop, backup, and other data in public Cloud data centers that provide encryption, geo-replication, and physical security
Disaster recovery: in the event of a natural disaster or other disruption, we can implement regional failover. In the event of a ransomware attack, we can restore from immutable backups that cannot be compromised by an attacker
Security
Encrypted and secured data is stored on cloud storage, reducing the risk of data loss or theft
Centralized data management and access controls reduce the risk of misconfigured servers
Multi-factor authentication reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised or brute force attacks are launched by bad actors
Zero trust principles - like OS lockdown, app whitelisting & ringfencing, network controls, and EDR - ensure that users can access required applications and data, yet bad actors can't run malware, exfiltrate data, nor compromise security.
Productivity
VCIT centrally and consistently manages infrastructure maintenance, updates, and security patches, which reduces the risk of downtime due to outdated systems or security vulnerabilities
DaaS delivers a consistent desktop environment across devices, allowing employees to seamlessly transition between workstations or continue working from alternative locations during disruptions
Rapid provisioning of virtual desktops for new hires and temporary workers. Rapid decommissioning as well, for times when you need to scale back operations.
