Virtual server, cloud computing, the cloud—you hear all sorts of terms.
When do I actually need one? What are the benefits?
If the following four points resonate with you, this is what you need.
Security first
This is the main reason VDIs were created. It was true ten years ago and it is even more true today. The security of your data, environment, and tools is essential for every business. That is precisely why they are increasingly popular nowadays. In the past, every employee had their own computer, with their own data and software. Managing all of that became complex. The biggest challenge is managing what users do with their equipment. People are always the weakest link in a security chain. Centralized management allows better control over the user, the applications, and above all the data.
The performance of a data center, without the drawbacks
Managing a tool like this in-house requires skilled resources with diverse expertise, high and hard-to-plan budgets, and above all a great deal of time. To compete with the robustness, availability, and security that the industry's major players can offer (such as *Amazon, Microsoft, and Google*), you would need an almost absurd budget. Their offering, however, is genuinely suited to the needs of businesses like yours.
Remote work and multiple devices
Whether you are in Guatemala living life, at the office in your routine, or visiting an old friend without your laptop (because you do need to know how to unplug), you always have access to the same work environment, the same tools, and the same applications. Under normal circumstances, at a client's site, in an emergency—no more excuses for not having access to your things. Have you seen the * Chromebook * ad? It is pretty much that.
Reduced complexity
Another point in favor of the cloud is how easy it makes collaboration between different offices and/or with partners. An in-house server considerably increases the complexity of your network in order to support connections between offices and people working remotely. With a *cloud* server, it is designed and built with that goal in mind. Less complex, less costly.
