Cloud-delivered desktops are virtual desktops delivered as a managed service via the cloud, allowing secure access to applications and data from any device from anywhere. Traditional desktop management has issues for IT, businesses, and users. Cloud-delivered desktops address these issues by offering all necessary servers, networking, security updates, and licensing as a monthly fee. This solution provides benefits like efficiency, optimization, security, cost savings, flexibility, and control for businesses while being environmentally friendly.

What’s Wrong with Traditional Desktops?
• IT Management Issues
• Business Management Issues
• End User Issues

4. 4
IT Management Issues
• Supporting desktops is among the least
productive and largest consumer of IT time.
• The struggle balancing security needs vs. user
productivity leads to unhappy users.
• It’s difficult to effectively control software
licenses and applications on devices.
• Desktops fail and quickly become obsolete.
• IP and information assets leave your building
every day.

5. 5
Business Management Issues
• Staff uses different application and content versions;
it’s difficult to control and update en masse.
• Personnel are using various technologies that can’t
be integrated and leveraged. Desktop assets are
one of the worst investments.
• Provisioning new employees requires a full
purchasing cycle.
• Seasonal or high turnover work forces create a
logistical nightmare.

6. 6
End User Issues
• Users have outdated materials and don’t know where
to locate current versions.
• Boot times can be long due to age, software boot and
virus scanning.
• Configuration and use issues are based on user skills.
• Wait times can be long to provision/repair devices.
• There are outdated OS and applications that IT cannot
“make the rounds” to update.
• Non-Windows users require PC application access.

7. 7
So What Makes This Different?
• Peak 10 Cloud-delivered Desktops are offered
as a managed service for a monthly fee.
• The monthly fee includes all of the servers,
networking, patching, antivirus and licensing (OS
and office).
