The Solution for Growing Application Deployment & Support Demands Placed on IT Administrators

Serverware Solutions:

Konect is a powerful and cost-effective serverware solution for the growing application deployment and support demands placed on IT administrators in small and mid-size businesses.

In today's fast-paced economy, IT administrators are being asked to deliver and support increasing numbers of applications and resources to an increasingly remote and mobile workforce while balancing the need for cost reduction and demonstrable return on investments. Current technologies designed to address this challenge are either cost prohibitive, overly complex or require additional IT support and maintenance resources not normally available in small and mid-size businesses.

desktopsites' Konect solution is serverware that enables small and mid-size businesses to manage, deploy, secure and remotely access networked resources1. Konect extends Microsoft's Terminal Services to manage these networked resources centrally while seamlessly presenting them within a user's local, remote or mobile computer desktop. Konect delivers all of the extended capabilities that more expensive and complex access infrastructure solutions offer without a second desktop, at a price point and level of simplicity that small and mid-size businesses require.

Finally, Konect end users enjoy seamless access to both local resources and network services on any fixed or mobile computer desktop, whether in or outside of the office. Time previously spent on training and support, typical with other solutions, is reduced or eliminated thanks to Konect's ease of use and seamless delivery of network resources.

The Background and Serverware Solutions:

Business information is the currency of the knowledge economy

In today's economy, information has become the lifeblood of all businesses and data is the single most valuable asset. The vitality and usefulness of this information depends on the ability of employees to access it whenever and wherever they need it.

Explosive data and information growth across all businesses is being driven by an increasing automation of business processes, individual productivity software, and the need for business analytics. This data and information growth is going to continue at unprecedented rates as businesses continue to adopt new technologies in an attempt to realize "on-demand" business. This growth will continue to increase the complexity of systems and applications which store this data and information. And this complexity increases the challenges businesses face in providing information access when and where it is needed and across functional areas of the business.

With the critical importance of information comes the critical need for its security. Security breaches are a real threat and businesses are under immense pressure to defend against unauthorized access to and / or corruption of their information. IT administrators are tasked with providing ubiquitous access to information and resources while also guaranteeing its integrity, security, and availability.

Employees need ubiquitous access
Small and mid-size businesses are transforming to better compete in a rapidly moving and global economy. They must innovate, adapt, and respond to market conditions faster than ever before as they compete against businesses of all sizes. Their employees are just as likely to be doing business at a home office or on the road as they are to be working in a central location. And regardless of their location they still require and demand access to networked resources, putting increasing pressure on IT administrators to ensure business systems and applications can support this new reality.

Today's small and mid-size business employees access, use and manage business information across a myriad of applications over a variety of fixed and wireless, public and private networks, including the Internet. These employees need secure, simple, and instant access to applications and business information whenever and wherever they may be.

IT is expected to manage more with less
IT administrators must cope with the additional stress of shrinking IT budgets. Businesses are looking to lower their Total Cost of Ownership ("TCO") and accelerate their Return on Investment ("ROI") for technology investments, yet still provide cost-effective, responsive and reliable access to corporate resources. IT administrators are being asked to accommodate a greater complexity of technical needs with fewer resources to meet those needs.

Could there be a simpler way to distribute information, to manage applications and services? Is there a better use of computing power and information assets? Could one serverware solution meet the requirements of an IT administrator and users in a small and mid-size business?
