Traditional desktop models, where applications and data reside on physical desktop devices, continue to create manageability and security challenges for businesses today.  These challenges result in increased costs and complexity.  Most organisations struggle with how to protect data and information without inhibiting the efficiency and productivity of users.  Desktop Virtualisation (DV) allows organisations to centrally host their desktops on a server where they can be centrally managed, secured and protected much more efficiently.

The solution gives users the flexibility and mobility to securely access their desktop from a wide variety of devices, wherever they have network access. Resilient, secure and dynamic, Northarbour's virtual desktop solutions combine the power and stability of Microsoft Windows with a comprehensive range of high-performance IBM servers, thin client technology, and Citrix Virtualisation.

In addition to comprehensive range of technology solutions, Northarbour offers the professional expertise needed to achieve a virtualised desktop environment quickly and without risk.
