Offer desktops as a managed service

Kaviza gives MSPs flexibility and improves margins

With Kaviza, MSPs can offer desktops as a managed service in a few different ways — either as an on-premise deployment that is managed remotely, or as a hosted solution run entirely by the MSP. In both cases, the MSP can manage the virtual desktops centrally.

Kaviza benefits to MSPs include:

• Better margins. Reduce time spent travelling to client-sites — with Kaviza, you can manage the virtual desktops remotely even if they are deployed at the client site. This improves margins.
• Reach a wider market. Since the costs of deploying Kaviza are low, MSPs can reach more Small to Midsize Enterprises (SMEs) and phased deployments cost-effectively.
• Lower upfront infrastructure costs.   With Kaviza, you do not have to make a huge upfront investment in infrastructure and shared storage. Start with a few inexpensive commodity servers, and scale as the business grows.
• Increase client security.   With Kaviza's distributed architecture, client's data can remain on their site while management is done from the MSP location. This ensures that the client's data security policies are kept intact when using managed services.
• Preserve LAN-based performance.   By choosing on-premise deployment, you can give the customer a similar experience to their current PC environment, with desktops served over a LAN. You still manage the deployment remotely, giving them the benefits of a managed service.
