The Benefits of ATSG Cloud PC
Considering Cloud Desktops? Here is an overview of what benefits you can expect, by transitioning to ATSG Cloud PC. We welcome you to engage with us directly, and we’d be happy to discuss these, and other benefits.
Cost Savings
By migrating to ATSG Cloud PC, you can extend the life of existing physical desktops, postpone large capital expenditures, or reduce the cost of high-end devices. You will also see significant savings in your IT operating expenses, by up to 30-50%.
Control
ATSG provides control over your Cloud desktops in a number of ways. Our Virtual Machines (VMs) can be provisioned, modified, or de-provisioned directly by you. As a company, you are also in more control than with traditional desktops. Data is stored centrally, and with active directory (AD), you can decide instantly if you need to adjust access to the ATSG Cloud PC, or the data within it.
Security
ATSG provides multiple layers of security. The data center is protected 24/7 by live cameras and security guards, among other physical security measures. Access to the ATSG Cloud PC is encrypted and thus, protected at all times. You can add a built-in backup service, and / or a file-share system.
Agility
The subscription model that ATSG offers gives business more agility and flexibility. New software can be rolled out quickly, and you can respond to software updates more effectively through a centralized management platform. Take advantage of trends in computing, such as bring your own device (consumerization of IT). Allow employees to bring in a Mac or Apple iPad, their own laptop, or work from home on their desktop. If weather or sickness prevents workers from getting to the office, you have flexibility to allow remote work from any location, without hampering productivity.
Productivity
Now, employees can be productive from wherever they are, and from virtually any device. Whether it is a laptop, desktop, iPad, or Android device – employees can remotely access their virtual desktop, business applications, and be as productive as they are today, in front of their work PC. Your consultant(s) or IT department’s productivity increases too. You can choose to co-manage, or handover management of the PC fleet to ATSG. This minimizes the time to deploy new software, apply software updates, and keep systems running securely.
How it Works
ATSG’s Cloud PC are run from a hosted private cloud. Employees or contractors can login from a laptop, desktop, iPad, or Android device, and have access to the same workspace, regardless of what device they are using. Control over the Cloud PC is in your hands. ATSGOne Cloud Manager portal lets you easily add, change, or remove virtual desktops, in real-time.
To the end-user, the desktop looks and functions just as their physical desktop would. After securely logging in, the Cloud PC can be customized as per the user’s preferred settings, documents, and applications. Administrators can adjust a user’s resources, such as computing power, memory, and storage.
