Corporate IT Solutions Combines User Simplicity, Enterprise Reliability In New Desktop-As-A-Service Offering

pCloud Workspace offers fixed fee structure, expert on-site hosting and management, public and private cloud options for any size organization

Corporate IT Solutions, a technology solutions provider specializing in enterprise cloud computing and managed services, recently announced the general availability of pCloud Workspace, a new desktop-as-a-service offering which combines the agility and cost efficiency of the cloud with the reliability, security and expert technical management of enterprise applications. pCloud Workspace provides a flexible and affordable alternative to the high cost, complexity and unpredictable performance of virtual desktop infrastructure offerings. It also gives IT organizations the option of public or private cloud deployment. The application is hosted and managed by Corporate IT Solutions in its data centers in Boston and Marlborough, MA.

“With the rapid growth of mobile technologies and remote workforces, easy and secure access to enterprise applications and data from any device has become essential to organizational productivity,” said Jeffrey Boardman, CIO at Corporate IT Solutions. “Existing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) offerings have failed to meet many organizational needs due to their high cost and complex deployments. Additionally, most of the desktop-as-a-service offerings available today are being outsourced to third parties. This creates significant reliability, security and compliance issues.”

With pCloud Workspace, users get a complete enterprise cloud offering for a fixed fee with unlimited application access and availability from any device. The service includes comprehensive system management and automated software upgrades while eliminating up front infrastructure and deployment costs.

Locally Managed by Data Center Experts
pCloud Workspace is locally managed and secured on-site at Corporate IT Solutions’ data center in Boston. It includes Help Desk support and 24x7x365 monitoring. Customers also get the benefit of Corporate IT Solutions’ extensive expertise in desktop infrastructure, virtualization, storage, disaster recovery, application delivery, data protection and security.

Public or Private Cloud Deployments
Corporate IT Solutions offers customers the option of public or private deployment to meet the needs of any size organization.

• pCloud Workspace Public Cloud - provides a multi-tenant hosting environment for smaller organizations with unlimited access to enterprise and desktop applications.
• pCloud Workspace Private Cloud - provides a dedicated infrastructure environment for larger organizations. This option offers all the flexibility and access of desktop-as-a-service with the control of dedicated infrastructure and administration.

Customers can also transition seamlessly from Public to Private Cloud deployments as needed.

Easy User Access; Enterprise Security and Reliability
pCloud Workspace offers a number of other important advantages:

• Access to any app from any device via the cloud – support for more than 1,000 applications.
• Work the way the business works – workspace environments can be customized to user preferences; no changes required to applications, usage or data formats.
• Intuitive systems management and provisioning – for desktop, application and server.
• Scale flexibly – add or consolidate desktops as business dictates without disruption or waste.

“pCloud Workspace is an ideal solution for IT organizations with a decentralized structure and a growing base of remote and mobile staff,” added Boardman. “It also provides important flexibility for organizations experiencing rapid growth that need to scale quickly.”
