Virtual Desktops

Lincoln’s new Hosted Virtual Desktop solution is an innovative new method for delivering desktops to end users. Part of the ‘cloud computing’ concept, a hosted virtual desktop looks and acts exactly like a traditional PC but, instead of residing locally, all software and data are housed in our state-of-the-art data centers. Hosted virtual desktops offer numerous advantages in terms of cost savings, security, resilience, flexibility and reduced management.
Hosted desktops are beginning to replace the traditional idea that all office staff must have a full PC sitting beneath their desks. Of course, in today's world businesses need their employees to have access to computers to communicate and to perform all manner of tasks. However, the way in which this can be facilitated is evolving. Buying, setting up and maintaining PCs is an expensive exercise, especially when you factor in the associated management time and costs. Hosted Desktops removes this headache by providing you with a hosted desktop environment, which you can connect to from anywhere via the internet – in the office, at home, or even abroad.

How does it work?
 

A hosted virtual desktop is a fully-functioning remote workstation. Instead of being held on local hardware, all software and data is housed in our state-of-the-art data centers. The screen data is then sent via the internet, to an end-user’s device (such as a PC or thin client), with industry-standard encryption ensures security. Keystrokes and mouse movements are then relayed from the workstation to our data centers. This is an entirely seamless process and the end user’s Windows experience is identical to that offered by a traditional desktop PC, allowing interaction with the exact same applications in the exact same way.

Key Benefits
 

All you need is a PC, laptop, thin client or mobile device and an internet connection. We do the rest. Because we provide you with a full Windows environment with all the functionality you’d expect, you'd never know you weren’t using a PC. Additional applications can be installed on demand, while we backup, manage and maintain the hosted desktops for you, ensuring they’re available 24 /7.
 

Free yourself from desktop management

Hosted desktops remove the burden of managing individual desktop environments in-house, leaving you to concentrate on growing your business and maximizing turnover. Information is stored in our highly secure data centers and delivered to you via any internet browser, so your own, fully customizable desktop can be accessed wherever you are, whenever you want. It is exactly the same as using a PC.
 

Simple, easy migration

Moving over to cloud computing sounds difficult but is in fact quite a simple process. The idea behind cloud computing and hosted desktops is that they provide the same features, tools and ways of working, but with a different method of accessing them. In addition, while the services feel familiar, behind the scenes they bring a lot of benefits, such as a disaster recovery and Business Continuity solution built-in to the services.
