Keep your data safe
Give your workers freedom
Any device, anytime, anywhere ….
The utilisation of the cloud enables the sharing of resources across geographical regions and promotes innovation.
Organisations are moving towards Smarter Working, the technology component of which is to enable a digital workplace that is mobile and accessible, enabling collaboration, document sharing and communication.
Remote working solutions were rapidly implemented because of Covid, initially thought to be temporary, but now working from home principles are included into long term IT strategy.
There is a need to implement more tailored and secure solutions that allow users to access their applications from any device, anywhere but through a more robust way both technically and contractually.
Hybrid cloud along with hybrid working is forecast to become the norm. Data, and the workforce accessing that data, will not be in one location. Data will be held in private or public clouds depending on its sensitivity/confidentially and users will need access to it through a seamless interface from any location.
Traditional desktops and laptops are costly, not easy to manage and pose security challenges. The management and support of a large number of desktop and laptop workstations with locally installed software is time consuming and expensive. Bring your own device (BYOD) policies, popular over recent years, introduced many compatibility problems for support teams.
Security is also a concern. In 2018 alone, there were multiple reports of data breaches from laptops that were stolen or lost. According to a Forbes article, “Nearly 41% of all data breach events from 2005 through 2015 were caused by lost devices.”
Organisations are increasingly turning to Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solutions to satisfy digital workspace needs. DaaS is provided by a third-party provider and eliminates the need to own and manage infrastructure.
DaaS allows control of the desktop through the cloud
- User applications no longer installed and run on each device
- Company data remains protected in your choice of location
- Where a physical device fails, the virtual desktop doesn’t fail
- Greater security
- Laptop/device re-deployment easier as standardised
- As existing laptops expire, organisations replace them with ‘thin clients’ or chromebooks that are cheap, simple and easy to maintain
- Remote patching leveraged via the cloud
- Enables shared services and interoperability
The Millennia DaaS provides a standardised, secure desktop which can be accessed from any device anywhere.
DaaS via Millennia benefits:
Greater flexibility users work from anywhere, on any device and collaborate more easily with co-workers, partners and suppliers.
Simplify VDI integration and delivery as easy to add new services to the digital workspace whenever and wherever needed. Eliminates the need for VDI infrastructure deployment and management. Easily integrates with Google Shelf, Office 365 Application Launcher or any other HTML5 interface
Bring your own Device can be enabled as all the data is held in the cloud and safely isolated from the users device
Consume the cloud through DaaS without having to learn new technology terminologies. Millennia multi cloud means that users are not locked into one public cloud provider
Simplify scaling through immediate desktop provision and release allowing for ease of scaling up and down for special projects and temporary workers. Acceleration of onboarding new employees
Greater performance through Nutanix optimisation even over low bandwidth, high-latency networks. A variety of performance options, including GPU and multi-GPU sessions, give users the performance they need
Compatible with any device – laptops, PCs, tablet, notebooks or smartphone
Increase control and security of your environment through quick and easy installation/removal of applications and data at a granular level. Control access to data and prevent employees making local data copies or write data to insecure devices. Gain greater visibility into the configuration and operation of your environment. Client sessions are always returned to approved state on termination
Risk mitigation from data loss through accidental loss or theft of laptops and devices. With no local data on devices, this risk is mitigated
Disaster Recovery through quick provision of secondary workspaces if a disaster strikes
Relieves your IT team as outsourcing the desktop provision allows your IT team to focus attention on core applications and systems
Pay as you go and only pay for what you use. Reduces capital costs. Increases cost control
Enable BYOD
End users can Bring their Own Device (BYOD) to get access anywhere, from any browser
Simplify App Management
Reduce operational complexity and simpify administration
Improve Data Security
Eliminate risks by using role-based access control and decoupling locally stored data
No hidden costs
