Desktop as a Service
Improved User Experience and Business Outcomes End user technologies are more diverse and complex than ever before–and IT’s capacity to respond has never been under greater pressure. The number of consumer devices and supporting technologies connected to the workplace–projected to reach a staggering 24 billion by 2020–means IT often struggles just to maintain the supporting infrastructure. We deploy Desktop as a Service to leverage technologies that will simplify IT complexity and streamline operations. That means the delivery of Windows desktops and applications benefit from lower desktop TCO and predictable cloud economics. IT is now able to deliver services from any device, anytime, anywhere–making your organization more agile, efficient and profitable.
Pomeroy Desktop as a Service As organizations increasingly move away from physical PCs in favor of virtual desktops, Desktop as a Service becomes more attractive. The attraction is DaaS’ ability to make deployment and management of the desktop environment far less difficult for IT, while giving end users maximum flexibility and a better, customizable user experience. While VDI will continue to be an attractive solution for organizations wanting to move from physical to virtual desktops, DaaS is a great fit for those who lack internal VDI technical skills, or may not be able to commit to its up-front capital investments. Premium End-User Experience A great end-user experience with a single client to access cloud-hosted virtual desktops and hosted apps from any device, anywhere. Simplified Desktops and Apps Deliver virtual desktops and hosted apps in just a few clicks without the complexity of deploying and managing desktop virtualization infrastructure. Predictable Costs Reduce your upfront costs and lower your desktop TCO with predictable cloud economics that enable you to move from CapEx to OpEx.
