Posted by RaynaJess on June 15th, 2013

 Fifty years ago, computers were the size of a room, and predictions of small, portable computer systems were widely regarded as science-fiction. Today, we’ve come to use computers and the Internet for anything and everything, from managing our personal finances or our entertainment calendars to managing our businesses and government systems. At this rate, there’s no telling how computers will look, or what we’ll be able to do with them in another fifty years’ time. Online desktop or cloud desktop solutions have become increasingly popular, for business and personal use, in past years and predictions have these solutions overtaking the market in less than ten years. Keep reading to find out all you need to know about online desktop or cloud desktop solutions, and how they can help your business be all it can be, with less expenditure.

There are different kinds of business, with different computing requirements. Some small businesses might have a limited number of employees and computers, while other companies might use their computers on a 24/7 basis, but they will all have some needs in common, like information security. Most people, and even some companies, don’t pay the appropriate attention to their informational security needs, and they often forget to keep their anti-virus systems updated, opening themselves up to various security threats, from viruses, to hackers and more. Using an online desktop or cloud desktop solution will store all your sensitive data and files on a remote server, located in a secure data center. All your information will be streamed to you using a secure Internet connection, so you don’t have to worry about security, knowing all your data is protected.

You might think that getting an online desktop or cloud desktop solution might be expensive, because of the technology involved and all the benefits it brings, but doing some research on the topic of pricing will probably surprise you. Most reliable companies offer a range of products, to fit your needs as well as your budget. If you’re just starting out and are nervous about using cloud desktop systems, you can start small with a Back-up solution, costing under $10 a month. Once you understand the process better and get a better understanding of all the benefits you get from implementing an online desktop system in your company, you can speak to your cloud desktop provider to get a custom-built plan of services for your company—this way you can be sure to pay only for what you actually need.

Aside from being relatively inexpensive, hosted desktop solutions will also help you save money. For one thing, when you’re using a hosted desktop you don’t need to have traditional desktop PCs anymore, which eliminates hardware costs. Desktop PCs are expensive, they break down often, and are only made to last you a few years, so you will save a lot on repairs and maintenance as well. This means you won’t have to pay for expensive software licenses anymore either, saving you another large cost, especially if you have a larger business. Moreover, if you don’t have desktop PCs, you don’t need to have an in-house IT team either—your hosted desktop provider will offer support and service options.

Stay ahead of the curve, and find out all about the benefits your company can reap from using online desktop or cloud desktop solutions—and take your business to the next level.
