How To Get Cloud IT Services?

The counterintuitive nature of the Cloud IT hosted desktop computing model is probably the only aspect of the technology that users will need to adjust to. To operate a traditional desktop operating system, end-users physically plug their keyboard, mouse, and monitor into a PC tower. The operating system (OS) resides on the hard drive of the PC hardware. The computer provides all of its own processing and storage resources, and the end-users monitor, peripherals, PC, and operating system all share some direct physical connection and proximity.

However, with Cloud, IT-hosted desktops not all of these elements have direct connections and may not be located in the same area. Your organization’s Cloud-IT hosted desktops reside on the Could IT hosted servers at our data center. Using a PC or other end-user devices, your end-user connects to his or her Cloud IT hosted desktop via the internet. Remarkably, these desktops appear and perform the same as a locally installed desktop operating system.

How is this possible? The only data sent over the internet between the user and the hosted desktop are keystrokes, mouse movements, and the images destined for the end-users monitor. The files remain on the hosted server with the hosted desktop. The blazing processing speeds of these servers compensate for the extra time and distance that the transferable data has to travel. Your end-user is able to access these hosted desktops from anywhere that has an internet connection.

The performance and appearance of Cloud-IT hosted desktops and locally-installed operating systems are virtually identical. Our hosted desktops support any Windows-compatible applications and work the same as their on-premise counterparts. The process of accessing our Cloud IT-hosted desktop isn’t hard either. End-users can log in to it via a portal on their organization’s intranet or set it up as a shortcut on the local desktop of their device.

Your organization’s end-users won’t have much difficulty adjusting to the benefits of Cloud-IT-hosted desktops.

Here are some Perks of a Cloud-IT-hosted desktop:

Higher availability and mobility: Your organization’s end-users can access their Cloud-IT hosted desktops, which include all their emails, applications, and files, from anywhere with any web-enabled device.

Better security: Your organization’s end-users can access the files and applications of a Cloud-IT hosted desktop but can’t transfer them to their devices, improving your security. The data of the Cloud-IT hosted desktops always remains on Aperio ITs hosted servers, where it remains under the protection of watchful and experienced
IT professionals with advanced antivirus and intrusion detection tools.

Your organization’s end-users will not require high-powered PCs or laptops and with the movement of BYOD (bring your own device), your organization may not have to provide any end-user
with an end device.

Does this scenario sound familiar? Your organization’s servers are getting old. End-users have noticed your system is sluggish and it is affecting efficiency in your organization. Your end-users have uttered several complaints about the system and perhaps its reliability too. Your IT support company has done all that it can do to keep the aging system plodding along. The warranty on your server has expired and cannot be extended. Your organization is now at a greater risk of an outage. At
times like this, it’s an appropriate time for you to consider all of your available options.

The average industry standard lifespan for a server is only three years. Beyond this time frame, problems typically start to occur and reliability begins to deteriorate. Factors such as server type, environment, usage, etc. can impact server life. It may be that a server hardware upgrade can solve your performance issues at a fraction of the price of a new server. However, not all systems are upgradable. Additionally, new servers may have enhanced capabilities that will allow your business to expand its offering or significantly reshape your computing requirements. Data storage is growing at unprecedented levels and software requires more storage capability and processing power. So, do you take the plunge and re-invest in a more powerful, up-to-date server or join the growing number of organizations that have opted to use a Cloud-IT computing solution?

This may be from a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop, or even another computer, and is ideal if you have employees working in the field or traveling frequently around the world.

As you would expect, because you can access your entire system from literally anywhere, security is an important feature of the Cloud-IT hosted server. Your organization’s servers are stored in our data center which has card-access-only doors, video cameras, and locked cages. Our IT professionals are constantly monitoring and analyzing data traffic to detect cyber-attacks and intruders. Aside from the security element, your data is backed up to other servers in the Cloud. Compare this to a server on your premises and to where your data is currently backed up. What would happen if your building caught fire? Would all your data be lost?

provide different roles for your organization’s end-users.

What is Office Cloud IT Hosting?

Aperio IT’s Office Cloud-IT solution combines our Cloud IT desktop and Cloud-IT services solutions. Your organization’s entire office is hosted regardless of end-user locations. Installing and maintaining separate desktops for an entire office is even more complex when users have the ability or need to work from anywhere.
Traditionally, users have almost unlimited ability to install or remove the software. Information technology departments have therefore often used Terminal Services, Citrix, and VMWare to provide stable, locked-down office environments to the user, who could be either using a regular desktop PC, or a small, quiet, and robust thin client.

Office Cloud-IT hosting provides many of the advantages of a terminal server while giving users much more flexibility. End-users are allowed to access corporate information but are generally not allowed to install and configure their applications. End-users also gain the ability to access their Cloud IT desktops from other locations without the data itself leaving the Office Cloud.
