The combination of Hosted Desktop and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) makes remote access to systems and data as secure as possible. Hosted Desktop offers high levels of reliability, security and flexibility for businesses.

Hosted Desktop is a virtual desktop in the Cloud solution that can deliver data and applications to any device, enabling users to access a Windows desktop with all of their files and emails remotely through a web browser, laptop or smart phone.

Hosted Desktop enables IT managers to centralise security policy management and implementation, this means that the choice of end user device can be freed up. Virtual desktops are an obvious option and offer a solution to support a wide range of devices such as the `thin client’, including mobile phones.

For businesses looking to move away from Microsoft SBS next year Hosted Desktop could be the ideal solution. Hosted Desktop could also be used as a business continuity solution, for example if you were an accountancy practice and needed a failover for Payroll then a highly reliable, secure Hosted Desktop on the Cloud would ensure that business continues if local systems fail.

Here is a quick look at the cost and business benefits that Windows 8 will bring.

Microsoft is set to charge £24.99 to upgrade to the latest version of Windows online when it goes on sale on October 26th.

The company announced earlier this year that users would be charged $39.99 to upgrade from any version of Windows from XP to Windows 8 Pro.

Windows 8 will run on existing hardware. This means that businesses should be able to use their “Windows 7 hardware” with Windows 8 without having to buy new PCs or upgrade existing components.

Windows 8 will incorporate an interface that’s optimised for touch screens and a classic desktop interface. Users will be able to select their preferred interface to suit their needs.

Businesses users will benefit from a much faster boot-up time. Windows 8 promises a faster and safer start-up time. Microsoft says it will take 8 seconds from the time you press the On/Off button until Windows is loaded. This is due to a new start-up method.

Windows 8 will be the first operating system to have a free, pre-installed anti-virus and anti-spyware built into the system.

Windows 8 will offer Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender pre-installed and operational. That is a serious approach to keeping your business data secure.

Businesses can expect an app store for Windows 8 offering a single place for downloading and installing new software applications.

An enhanced backup solution in Windows 8 will make use of network drives offering a convenient “roll-back” to a previous version of a file, selectable from a library.

These are just some of the features that Windows 8 promises, for more information please visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/home
