Why use our hosted desktop?
Its fast, simple, kind to your cashflow and secure
There are four reasons to use Managed Networks' hosted desktop service DesktopLive:
- DesktopLive is fast:
- Managed Networks can have you set up in as little as a day if you already have PCs/laptops and a broadband connection. We simply have to setup your account on our server network and then re-direct your e-mails
- If you have no broadband, then it is simply the lead time on the broadband connection; approximately 20 days
- DesktopLive is simple:
- All you do is log into our servers and start work. You have no maintenance worries: we maintain and upgrade the service platform, and look after the thin-client machines, printers and broadband connection that we provide at your site.
- If you are looking at installing a server or refreshing your server network, this provides the same functionality without the hassle. All we do is transfer your data to our servers instead of your new ones.
- You have access to the latest software at no extra cost: as new versions of Windows, Office and Outlook become available; we will schedule an upgrade date that gives you plenty of warning and then implement them without disruption.
- You can connect to DesktopLive from anywhere - from home, from a hotel, from clients. Any desktop or notebook that has a broadband connection will give you complete access to your personnel desktop, emails and data. The service is ideal for geographically-distributed and virtual enterprises, who want file sharing and Microsoft Exchange functionality without the cost.
- DesktopLive is kind to your cashflow:
- You have no capital costs, so you don't need to find thousands of pounds every three-to-four years to pay for new servers, licensing and desktops.
- Your monthly service fee is 100% tax-deductible and VAT-allowable.
- DesktopLive is secure
- Your data is held securely on our servers, backed up by us to a remote location and protected from hackers, viruses and spam by the best hardware and software available. If you're a regulated business our solution helps you meet your regulatory obligations for security and business continuity, including enhanced security options if necessary.
If you have working broadband, you're guaranteed access to the service; we promise 99% availability and back this up with a money-back warranty.
