Mobility with Cloud Hosted Desktops
With our hosted desktop services, there’s no need for specific hardware like networking equipment, firewalls, or VPNs. Employees can securely work from home, the cabin, client offices, or the company office with a consistent desktop experience. Point North Network’s hosted desktop services address many challenges, especially for remote and contract employees. Providing secure access to corporate data can be costly, but with a hosted desktop, the user’s device is kept separate from the working environment. This eliminates the need for expensive management and security tools on the user’s device, making it ideal for remote and contract workers.
Centralized Management and Support
A company doesn’t have to worry about keeping up on patching and updating. This is completely handled by Point North Network staff, including security patches, software installations, and data backups. By having Point North Network fully manage the hosted desktop, the burden of keeping a smooth, reliable system is eliminated, leaving the user to focus and stay productive on their core business, rather than worrying about IT.
Advanced Security Features
Point North Network’s hosted desktop services keep your data safe in our secure data center, reducing risks of loss or theft. We use centralized security measures like firewalls, antivirus software, and access controls to protect your data, eliminating the need for your company to invest in hardware, software, IT, and security professionals. Our continuous scans alert us to potential threats, allowing immediate action. We specialize in security and compliance, providing the expertise, tools, and staff to meet cyber-insurance, vendor, or client contract requirements.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Our hosted desktop services are provided at a fixed monthly fee, eliminating the need for large and unpredictable purchases to replace out-of-date or faulty hardware or software. Our desktops can easily scale to meet the demands of high-performance applications without needing to buy extra hardware. They even support high-performance graphics applications like CAD and those requiring GPU power. All support and maintenance are handled by our local staff at Point North Networks, eliminating the need for your organization to manage it independently and significantly reducing the cost of hiring internal IT staff.
Data Loss Elimination
Our hosted desktop environments are backed up several times daily to off-site encrypted storage with 90 days of retention. Quickly restore lost or deleted files as well as directories in minutes, with our continuously monitored and managed data backup systems.
