NaviSite Introduces Enterprise-Class Desktop-as-a-Service
February 2012 by Marc Jacob
NaviSite, Inc. introduced an enterprise-class, cloud-based Stations-service (DaaS) offering that enables IT organisations to deliver virtual desktop services to local and remote users from the cloud with an increased level of security and management and the same functionality as traditional desktops.
NaviSite’s DaaS offering, powered by the NaviCloud platform and Desktone, a desktop-as-a-service pioneer, provides IT departments the ability to add or remove desktops quickly and securely while avoiding the costs associated with frequent technology change. The new offering also enables organisations to scale based on the immediate needs of their business without being locked into a technology decision as their business evolves. This is ideal for enterprises entering a desktop/laptop refresh period, enterprises with branch offices, firms with large populations of mobile, remote and off-shore workers or seasonal and contract employees. DaaS significantly reduces desktop capex and opex costs, centralises and streamlines desktop deployment, and enables a workforce to be more mobile and efficient while increasing security and control necessary for an enterprise environment.
NaviCloud DaaS enables enterprise organisations to:
· Access their full desktop from anywhere
· Maximise information security and data protection
· Install, manage, and control corporate applications in a centralised environment
· Use existing corporate software licenses
· Control costs with predictable per user pricing
· Support “bring your own device” policies
· Provide a built-in disaster recovery plan for cloud-based desktops
