Work has long ceased to be a location; it is a place where employees work remotely, securely and flexibly on the devices of their choice. For this to work smoothly and securely, suitable IT solutions such as Terminal Services are needed. With such a solution, you can virtualise less performance-intensive workstations easily and reliably – so that you or your customers can deliver top performance even when working remotely.
What do we mean by a mobile and flexible workplace? The aim of such a workplace is to meet the challenges of the job securely, efficiently and in full – regardless of where you happen to be working. After all, today’s office is at home, on the train, at the customer’s premises or in the meeting room.
Legacy IT structures slow down mobile data transfer
Many people are working remotely on a regular basis for the first time. This presents a new challenge not only for the employees themselves, but also for their employers and their IT infrastructures, because conventional IT architecture approaches often fail to provide the flexibility required. One reason for this is legacy client/server architectures, which provide the application backend on the server while the frontend runs in the traditional way on the client (i.e. the user’s workstation). This requires massive bandwidth to transfer data smoothly between backend and frontend.
Terminal servers for remote working with classic office applications
In most cases, virtualising less performance-intensive workstations with classic office applications is done quite simply using terminal servers. While the Netstream cloud solution with VMware VDI services achieves the best results for performance-intensive workstations, here only the screen output is transmitted between the Virtual Data Center and the user. The data itself remains in the data center. And because the Virtual Data Center services can easily be scaled up (or down), it is possible to respond very quickly and flexibly to changing working models, as in times of coronavirus, and to ensure remote working from home simply and easily.
Conclusion: The solution with Terminal Services from Netstream fully covers the needs of less performance-intensive workstations while retaining the classic application architecture. It also guarantees complete flexibility for the mobile workplace.
