Scenarios for Businesses

Common Enterprise business scenarios where Cloudserve can help

Please click on the questions below to reveal the answers:

Investigating VDI

Any large business will, over the past few years, have made a huge investment in IT in order to enable staff to collaborate and be more productive. IT directors are being asked to deliver more from a small IT budget and, based on the complexitities and legacy systems that exist, this can be a near impossible challenge. Cloudserve offers a way for IT executives to move certain portions of IT off-premise to lower costs. Utilising our cloud platform, integrate hosted services and resources with your business.

Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop, Virtual Server Infrastructure, Hosted Exchange

Upgrading Hardware - Software > Click to View

If your business is at a cross-roads, looking at whether to upgrade to the latest desktop computers, upgrading to a new version of MS Office etc., then Cloudserve could offer you a chance to avoid spending any capital. Using our cloud computing model of providing services securely over the internet: Cloudserve  can offer 3 options:

•Extend the life of your existing equipment. Use your existing PCs as connection devices to Hosted Desktops (even if 10 years old), gaining access to the latest technologies instantly - no need to upgrade hardware.

•Don't invest in new software. Use Cloudserves software on demand to deliver applications to desktops for a fraction of the cost of buying.

•Replace old PCs with thin clients to save power, initial cost and ongoing management.

Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop and Hosted File Server

 

Moving from Citrix Style environments

Many mid-size organisations utilise Citrix presentation server and XenApp to provide some access to services outside of the working environment. However, the cost is prohibitive and means your IT organisation has to manage this as well as the desktop environments - opening up duplication of human resource and cost.

Over stretched IT team

IT Directors are being asked to do more and more in an increasingly complicated world. Compounding desktops, servers, applications, communications and mixes of requirements is a near impossible task to deliver. Working with Cloudserve helps IT managers to gain control of their environment. By moving typically difficult services off-premise to Cloudserve, we take on the management and infrastructure responsibility, whilst you main control over quality and the direction of the service - a win-win scenario. Reduce your team's time spent debugging desktops, patching etc. and switch to productive and proactive IT.

Looking at Off-Premise solution > click to View

Enterprise organisations are looking closer at keeping elements of their IT off-premise. The word "outsourcing" is the wrong term as many enterprises would like to maintain the control and direction of their services, whilst using economies of scale of service providers to leverage cost savings. Cloudserve's versatile platform allows integration into your existing network and IT, whilst giving you a platform capable of scaling and launching an array of new or existing services.

Enable remote working > click to View

If your business is looking to utilise flexible working, or has distributed staff members, building an IT system to cope can be very expensive and difficult. ThinkGrid can provide services which allow users to connect from anywhere, as all of our solutions are hosted. We provide hosted desktops that mean users can experience the same features as they would if in the same office (i.e. secure file sharing and telephone system), and collaboration through shared calendars, shared contacts and more from Hosted Exchange. Why look at expensive Citrix or Terminal server solutions, when hosted virtual desktops are twice as flexible and only 10% of the cost?
