Flexential provides Desktop-as-a-Service solution for remote workers

Flexential, a provider of data center colocation and hybrid IT solutions, is releasing its Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution to help support the remote workforce during COVID-19. Flexential’s DaaS will enable workers’ access to traditional workspaces and apps using any device, anytime, anywhere.

“As a result of the pandemic, the remote labor force has increased from 10% to an estimated 70%,” said Mike Fuhrman, chief operating officer, cloud and managed services, Flexential. “That means IT departments have had to quickly re-architect their IT infrastructure to enable a distributed workforce, provisioning hardware and SaaS applications while ensuring security, accessibility, and procurement of tools and equipment.”

Flexential DaaS is a solution that allows businesses to host virtual desktops on cloud infrastructure with the same applications and data as they experience on their physical laptops or their remote desktops.

As such, end-users (employees, contractors and other workers) have access to a secure virtual desktop remotely on various devices including PCs, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, etc.

Flexential’s DaaS is a turn-key solution built on Nutanix’s HCI that provides always on availability and flexibility.

DaaS provides a complete end-to-end solution inclusive of infrastructure and desktop management, allowing customers to instantly access their virtual desktops.

It provides flexibility for customers to choose their DaaS Broker, (Citrix or VMware), and their OS of choice, (Windows or Linux).

Beyond its benefits for end-users, DaaS technology is also a robust cost-saving measure for IT, eliminating costly hardware.
