Cheaper IT support
The DesktopLive platform is built to a specification that you either cannot afford or would not spend. This is because our hosted desktop platform is designed to host 1,000's of people in a secure and resilient manner and to be accessible whenever you need it, from anywhere in the world with a decent broadband connection.
DesktopLive as a hosted desktop solution is cheaper than a traditional server infrastructure suitable for your size business. Let’s compare what's involved:
For a traditional server infrastructure
- Hardware - server(s), UPS, backup devices
- Capital expenditure
- Depreciation
- Fixed cost
- Software - Server licenses and user licenses (Microsoft Office, Microsoft Server, Microsoft Exchange, Backup, anti-spam, anti-virus)
- Usually capital expenditure
- Need to license for the maximum number of staff you will have
- Setup engineering time
- One-off cost
- Ongoing support
- Monthly costs
- Total spend over three years for 20 user network: about £45,000
For DesktopLive:
- Small setup fee per user
- Per user per month fee purely for what you need
- Total spend over three years for 20 users: £38,000
This equates to a saving of nearly £200 per month.
