The desktop PC was once “the old ball and chain” of the office, pinning employees to the one location where they could access the files and applications they needed. To work from home or anywhere else was a hassle of data transfer, redundancy, and sometimes incompatibility. Likewise when they were away from the office, communications might go unanswered or urgent matters might be delayed.

The phrase, “I wish I had access to that data!” is never a good sign. It might be the final nail in the coffin of a missed opportunity, the lament following a lost sale, or a blow to out-of-office productivity. But there is a solution! Summit Technology helps businesses to establish a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, a form of virtualization that is ideal for remote sales teams and branch offices. It can ensure that they have access to data and applications when they need them, instead of just wishful thinking!

The VMs are centralized on servers in the data center, which allows them to be upgraded, patched, secured, and maintained efficiently and conveniently. Employees are then able to directly access the VMs from existing PCs or from thin clients, even when they’re [...]
