Kaviza for Services firms: Higher productivity
Less downtime, lower costs with Kaviza
Services firms, whether they are providing financial, accounting, legal or technology services, want to minimize disruption to employee productivity as this impacts revenues and margins.
Kaviza benefits for services firms include:
- Minimize disruption to end-users from patching and update cycles. With Kaviza, the desktops can be in active use while you are preparing updates and patches to the master images. Once you are ready to deploy, you can control via policies when the desktops get refreshed. This minimizes disruption to manufacturing PCs and end-users.
- Reduce unplanned downtime. With Kaviza, if a desktop misbehaves, simply regenerate a pristine desktop from the template. Schedule and plan when desktops are refreshed to minimize disruption.
- Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Kaviza's built-in high availability ensures business continuity in the event of a server failure. Since Kaviza desktops can be securely accessed from any location including home, you can provide business continuity in the case of events like power failure at an office site.
- Easy to replicate with IT of varying expertise. Kaviza can be deployed and managed easily by desktop IT — this makes it easy to replicate Kaviza across sites which may have IT staff of varying skillsets, without re-training.
- Reduce desktop support and management by over 80%. Kaviza virtual desktops lower both upfront and ongoing desktop costs. Kaviza requires minimal upfront investment, and runs on inexpensive commodity servers. Customers estimate over 80% reduction in desktop support costs using Kaviza. If a desktop misbehaves, simply regenerate a new pristine desktop. To update and patch desktops, simply update the master image and all the desktops get the latest changes.
- Efficiently manage remote branches. Services firms often have dispersed remote locations with small headcount where it becomes hard to justify local IT resources. With Kaviza, you can deploy Kaviza desktop servers at these remote sites for optimal desktop performance over a LAN while IT manages them centrally from one location. This preserves user experience while lowering management costs.
- Kiosks. Kaviza makes it easy to setup kiosks to manage the shop floors. Kaviza's kiosk-mode enables you to specify desktops based on the endpoint devices, and automates their provisioning and management.
