GIVE EMPLOYEES THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO WORK FROM HOME
Today, more than ever, employees need to be able to work from anywhere – sometimes without much notice. If you’ve recently had to ask your employees to work from home (WFH), you may have noticed productivity suffering as a result. HPE virtualisation server technology solutions for small and midsized businesses can help to you manage the increasing amount of workloads you count on to run your business, make it easy for employees to work from home, and increase productivity by making files, email and collaboration tools tools accessible from any device.
RDS, or Remote Desktop Services, is appropriate when you need multiple remote workers to access the same system at work from their home computers. RDS enables you to run a single Windows Server instance, either on a physical server or on a virtual machine. The desktop image – with its associated applications and data – is cloned and presented to users who can access it over the network using the remote desktop protocol.
VDI, or virtual desktop infrastructure, is appropriate when you need remote workers to access multiple applications typically on their work computers. VDI delivers virtualised desktops – which includes the operating system, apps and their documents – to remote devices with the same experience as a PC at the office. Workloads are processed at the on-premises virtualised server instead of your employees’ laptop, tablet or smartphone so your workers don’t experience lags and your data stays secure.
VRG, or Visual Remote Guidance, is appropriate when you are in customer support and field services. VRG allows remote users to activate visual guidance sessions through supported mobile apps or simple voice commands to live-share with a customer or colleague and enable support. This is unlike traditional field experiences that may require significant travel and cost to deliver required services, such as when SMEs must travel to a site for training purposes, or to resolve IT or other operational matters.
When you’re running a business with remote or branch offices, you need to save time and money. Virtualisation lets you allocate resources to applications as needed, so you can run multiple applications on a single server – like accounting, productivity and payroll apps. That means you can run more applications on the servers you have, helping you reduce costs while still managing the increasing number of workloads you rely on to run your business.
