Hosted Citrix Virtual Desktops

The look and feel of Citrix Virtual Desktops (XenDesktop) are identical to a traditional Windows desktop. Access is available through common browsers, Citrix Receiver or remote data protocol (RDP) clients and on a variety of devices such as PCs, Macs, Linux desktops, phones, tablets, and thin clients. Local devices such as printers, USB connected devices, and multiple monitors work as intended.

The advantages of Citrix virtual desktops hosted on Apps4Rent’s servers include anywhere access, a consistent interface, unrestricted access to desktop applications, ability to scale up or down, and of course, significant cost savings.

The best features of a Citrix Virtual desktop are its flexibility, low cost, dependability, and efficiency. Citrix Virtual Desktop hosting takes advantage of the latest industry trends – the need for anytime anywhere access on numerous smart devices, virtualization of physical resources such as hardware, cloud hosting services, and outsourcing to the best of the breed vendors. Whether you are a business owner, an extended IT team member, or a manager who urgently needs access to a productive desktop software application, you need to focus on expanding your business rather than managing and maintaining your employee desktops and associated software applications. A virtual desktop with Citrix technologies hosted by Apps4Rent takes the entire burden of managing the desktop environment off you – for a low, per-user price that is fixed on a month-to-month basis.

To sustain and grow in today’s work environment, your organization as well as its infrastructure management must be nimble. Teams develop quickly around tasks, team members work from locations that may not be even in the same time zone. With hosted desktops, IT staff can quickly provision the required applications, change hardware resources on desktops, manage security, and administer from anywhere. Your in-house IT staff will be freed up from troubleshooting low-level problems. They will be able to contribute more meaningfully to your core business projects. Thanks to the consistent experience, your team as well as the stakeholders will be able to improve the computing efficiency from remote workplaces as well as the office. You will be able to use your favorite full-featured business software packages to be more productive and work with the most up-to-date business software without having to spend on upgrading the hardware to match. It is always safer to have some virtual desktops in the reserve with pre-installed applications to meet fluctuating demands. At other times, special applications and environments may be needed for short projects for specific users. It is easy to meet that demand with hosted dedicated desktops. 24 x 7 availability of the desktop infrastructure and expert support from Apps4Rent’s staff adds to the flexibility.

Using the services of a virtual Citrix desktop hosting provider such as Apps4Rent makes perfect sense for both small and medium-sized businesses wherein IT expertise may not be available. Apps4Rent’s virtual desktop packages include anti-virus, regular backups, and commonly used applications. And our affordable and experienced staff can install custom software applications during after-office hours, letting employees remain productive during office hours. In many cases, virtual desktops in the cloud do away with the need of having a server in-house and also the software as well as the technical support needed to maintain the server. This can result in significant savings for organizations.
