VIRTUAL DESKTOP – WHAT IS IT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

A virtual desktop is a hosting service that allows you to access your desktop through the Internet.

You log into your Virtual Desktop with a personal ID and password on any Internet connected device through a web browser or app. Your data and desktop operating system are kept on a secure server in a data center.

When you are logged in, your desktop operates and appears on your screen just like a traditional desktop, and will contain the same programs, features, and icons that you are used to, on your device of choice.

You can easily upload your files to the remote servers, where they will be saved and backed up, and will be returned to you when you no longer need the service.  You can continue to save your files on the Virtual Desktop, just as you had before, but now they can easily be shared between locations and multiple users.

Many companies prefer to use a Virtual Desktop because they are low maintenance, more secure, and can be implemented for however long you may need.

SHORT MATERNITY LEAVE SOLUTION – WORK FROM HOME

I am two days away from my due date, but still working so that I can stay home longer when my new offspring arrives!  I’m very fortunate that the owner of Tandem CloudTop wants me to stay home with my new little one for as long as I would like.

Since our company specializes in Virtual Desktop Hosting, transitioning to working from home is going to be a breeze.  Even though we mainly work from the office, my coworkers and I still benefit from having shared files, which makes accessing our current data much more efficient.  I am excited to be able to work from home so that I can feel productive, and still be able to hold my baby on demand and let my body take the appropriate time to heal.

After I had my first child, I wasn’t ready to part from her for 5 months, and that was only for short periods of time.  Going back to work full time after having a child is not an easy task, but often necessary when maternity leave is unpaid or only for a short period of time.  Paternity leave is almost unheard of in the US, but many fathers that I have spoken with lament over not being able to be with their newborn or help out their spouse.

If you don’t want to miss out on this special time for your family, but need  to work, consider utilizing our hosted services to access your desktop just like you would at the office.  You will have the best of both worlds, in feeling great about getting work done, but being able to hold and give your newborn as many hugs as you can.

8 REASONS WHY YOU NEED YOUR DESKTOP HOSTED

Access Anywhere – The consistent top reason for most to move to hosting, is the ability to access your data from any location, on any device.  Whether you need remote access in another part of the world, or to provide you the comfort of working from home, hosting will provide reliable access to the information and software that you need.
Predictable Pricing – Your hosting fees remain the same month to month, and aren’t subject to unexpected costs for maintaining highly expensive equipment.
Enhanced Security – Since the company data is not stored on the users devices, it is not subject to security issues, viruses or theft.
Improved Performance – Daily backups are handled by the hosting company, which will help your company run smoothly without having to worry about mundane tasks that keep your data safe.
Seamless Sharing – Ease of collaborating with outsourced employees, such as accountants, to share data efficiently without having to hire a full time employee.
Local Printing – Along with easy access to your data, you can print to your local printers.
Peace of Mind – You don’t have to worry about maintaining your virtual infrastructure, including the network and servers.
Scalability – Easily add employees or scale back due to demands on your company without extra capital to upgrade everyone to the same operating system.

PROTECTING YOUR BUSINESS – KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS SECURE THROUGH OUTSOURCING

Few small and mid-size companies have the resources necessary to maintain the staff necessary to protect their systems, which can leave your business vulnerable to security risks.

Hiring out your IT Services helps save time and protect your business, because mundane tasks such as backups and virus protection are automated, so that your staff can stay focused on more important projects. Many large companies choose to preserve their IT department, and hire out IT companies to help keep up with daily administrative tasks, so that they can work on important projects, while keeping their data safe.

The best way to protect your business from IT problems is through prevention, rather than waiting to fix something once it has occurred.  The experts from an outsourced IT company will continuously monitor your servers and networks behind the scenes, and many issues will be resolved before you are even aware of them. Monthly services help keep you from using an emergency IT service that will charge an arm and a leg to fix a major problem that you didn’t see emerging.

With your information on file and having worked with your company previously, our technicians can help fix your problems quickly and efficiently, without significant downtime. When you are itching to work, you no longer have to wait for IT Specialists to drive to your location, most issues can be resolved remotely.  An outside agency can worry about the day to day operations while you have the peace of mind knowing that help is just an email or phone call away.
