Active Desktop

In partnership with our IT providers we will fully maintain the system and provide free software updates and patches as necessary for the duration of the contract. We offer free data backups every 4 hours and run the latest firewall technology to keep user files safe. In addition to telephone technical support, there are multiple redundancies on the power supply and connectivity, meaning that we can keep our client’s business online 24-7-365. The service is backed by a 100% service level agreement.

Active Desktop offers benefits across three main areas – technical improvements in the speed and service level of your server, reduced setup costs and overheads and a smaller environmental footprint. In practice our clients that are already using the system have found there to be no operational difference between it and the traditional “thick” client mode of running IT systems. When using a Active Desktop, you just log on to the machine as normal, but you work in an environment that is running on one of our servers rather than in the box next to your desk.

Active Desktop is the new way to run an office. By virtualising and outsourcing software and server hosting, our clients save money and time and gain reliability, performance and security. Active Desktop includes Hosted Exchange giving you remote and shared access to your email, calendar and task lists plus synchronisation with your smartphone.
