Your Cloud Desktop
What a Cloud desktop can do for your business...
SkyDesktop is a Cloud desktop. You can log into your SkyDesktop from any computer device with a Web browser and automatically connect to all the Cloud apps you have selected. All your apps are right where you left them, just like on your home desktop.
Okay, so what is the Cloud?
The easiest way to understand the Cloud is to think of it as a utility, like electricity. You only pay for as much electricity as you use. The Cloud works on the same principle.
Through your Internet connection, you can access whatever apps, files, or data you have opted to store in the Cloud and you only pay for those apps that you want to use. You can work securely from your home, the airport, or while waiting at a doctor’s office.
Can I use software suites such as MS Office on SkyDesktop?
SkyDesktop connects you to Cloud-based applications. These are programs that reside in the Cloud, and not the traditional software programs you have downloaded to your computer or your company’s servers.
Almost all software companies see the Cloud as their future, and many of the names you are familiar with have already created Cloud apps that can be brought into your SkyDesktop, while many others are moving to the Cloud daily.
How safe is a Cloud desktop? Is my data secured?
An easy way to think of security in the Cloud is to compare it to money in your wallet vs. money in the bank. Money that is kept in your wallet is not secured; you could easily lose it. On the other hand, money that is kept in a bank is stored securely and cannot be lost.
The same can be said of the files on your computer. They are susceptible to natural disaster, hackers, and many other dangers, but if you store them in the Cloud, the Cloud provider has professional staff whose job it is to keep data safe.
In case of disaster, how can I retrieve my company's data?
With programs sitting on your computer desktop or on servers, the only option to recovering data is to physically take the equipment with you.
With SkyDesktop and all Cloud-based apps, your data is stored on remote servers, operated and protected by top-tier providers. In the event that your machine is broken or your server goes down, all of your data is still accessible by simply logging in to your SkyDesktop from any Web-enabled device, anywhere there is an Internet connection. Disaster averted.
How do I access my SkyDesktop?
When you sign up for a SkyDesktop account, a unique site will automatically be created for you. Simply choose the URL that you would like to give to your company site.
To access your site from then on, open a Web browser, type in your URL, and then log in using your unique username and password. You can launch any of your SkyDesktop Cloud apps simply by clicking on them and you never have to worry about multiple usernames and passwords again.
