Desktop Virtualisation

Desktop virtualisation plays a crucial role in empowering remote work by providing employees with secure and seamless access to their desktops and applications from any location, on any device.

There are a number of types of desktop virtualisation, and at CloudFire we can help design the solution that works for your business.

Here’s how desktop virtualisation empowers remote work:

Access Securely Anywhere

Desktop virtualisation allows employees to access their virtual desktops and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether they’re working from home, traveling, or on-site with a client, employees can stay productive and connected while all company data remains locked down and controlled by the business.

Device Flexibility

With desktop virtualisation, employees can use a variety of devices to access their virtual desktops, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This flexibility enables employees to choose the device that best suits their needs and preferences, whether they’re working from their home office, a coffee shop, or a remote location.

Consistent Experience

Desktop virtualisation provides a consistent and familiar user experience across different devices and locations. Employees can access the same desktop environment, applications, and files regardless of the device they’re using, ensuring continuity and productivity no matter where they work.

Enhanced Collaboration

Desktop virtualisation facilitates collaboration by enabling employees to share and collaborate on documents and projects in real-time, regardless of their physical location. Whether they’re co-authoring documents, conducting virtual meetings, or accessing shared resources, employees can collaborate seamlessly and efficiently from anywhere.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

CloudFire's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a technology that enables users to access their unique desktop environments remotely over a network connection.

Users can interact with their virtual desktops using various devices, including PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, from anywhere with an internet connection. Each user experience can be persistent and dedicated giving the same look and feel as before while giving the business the security and control over their data that they require.

VDI relies on virtualisation software to create and manage virtual desktop instances, along with connection brokers to facilitate user connections. The platform is fully managed by Cloudfire giving the business a flexible and scalable solution with full end user support.

By centralising desktop computing resources and providing remote access capabilities, VDI empowers organisations to enhance workforce productivity, streamline IT operations, and ensure that all company data is controlled and secured.

Benefits of VDI

Building Your VDI

Assess the needs and requirements of the organisation, including the number of users, computing resources, and applications.

Choose appropriate hardware and software components, such as servers, virtualisation software, and connection brokers.

Set up and configure the virtualisation environment, including creating virtual desktop templates, defining user access policies, and configuring network settings.

Deploy virtual desktop instances on the servers and configure user access permissions and security settings.

Test the virtual desktop infrastructure to ensure compatibility, performance, and security.

Implement monitoring and management tools to monitor the health and performance of the infrastructure and troubleshoot issues.

Assess the needs and requirements of the organisation, including the number of users, computing resources, and applications.

Building a VDI is a complex and time-consuming task, requiring expertise in virtualisation technology and IT infrastructure management. We streamline the process and provide ongoing support to ensure a smooth and successful implementation.

AVD Enablement

AVD (Azure Virtual Desktop) enablement refers to the process of setting up and configuring Azure Virtual Desktop environments to provide users with secure and scalable virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions.

It involves:

- Setting up and configuring Azure Virtual Desktop environments.
- Provisioning virtual machines.
- Deploying applications.
- Configuring user access and permissions.
- Optimising the environment for performance and reliability.

At CloudFire, a large number of our clients have moved over to AVD solutions, and are realising the benefits of a fast, scalable, and secure solution.

Benefits of AVD

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) offers global access, robust security, and seamless scalability, empowering teams to work efficiently from anywhere.

Secure your data, scale effortlessly, and boost productivity with AVD.

Virtual Servers

Realise the benefits of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) by deploying all your compute, storage and networking resources on a pay as you go model.

Get rid of old legacy on-premises infrastructure and remove the cost and complexity of purchasing and supporting physical servers. Virtual Private Servers is a cloud computing model where organisations can access and utilise dedicated server infrastructure hosted in a private cloud environment, managed and maintained by CloudFire.

In this model, we provision and manage the physical infrastructure, including servers, storage, networking, and security, while your organisation retains control and security over their virtualised server instances and applications.

Benefits

Dedicated Resources

Each organisation receives dedicated server resources, ensuring consistent performance and reliability for their applications and workloads.

Security

Cloud environments offer enhanced security making them suitable for sensitive or regulated workloads that require strict data privacy and compliance requirements.

Customisation

Organisations can customise their server configurations and environments to meet their specific needs, including operating systems, software applications, security policies, and network settings.

Scalability

Future Proof your IT infrastructure. Upgrade or downgrade server specifications based on your evolving needs. Whether you’re running a small website or a large e-commerce platform, at Cloudfire we can accommodate your growth on–demand without the time and costs of upgrading on– site hardware.

Control & Customisation

With a VPS, users have full root access to their virtual server environment, giving them complete control over software installations, configurations, and customisation. This level of control is ideal for developers and businesses that require specific software or configurations tailored to their applications.

High Performance

Clients can benefit from dedicated resources allocated to their virtual server instance. This ensures consistent performance, faster loading times, and improved reliability, especially for websites and applications with high traffic or resource-intensive tasks.
