Remote Desktop Business Solutions
More about remote desktop business solutions
Remote Desktop Business Solutions allow businesses to deploy third party and custom developed internal business applications to remote users using Microsoft Terminal Services.
Remote
Desktop Solutions help businesses grow by allowing delivering applications to
remote offices and 'work at home' employees while reducing your investment in
infrastructure by eliminating the cost of self-built facilities that can be
expensive to operate and beyond the financial means and technical skills of
many small businesses.
Because
applications are executed using MSD servers instead of individual PC's, your
cost for individual user workstations is reduced; allowing you to invest in
lower cost PC or terminal services compatible thin-client workstations instead
of more expensive hardware.
Because
applications are executed using MSD servers, the danger of infecting vital
business solutions with viruses or of third party intruders gaining access to
important corporate data is reduced or eliminated.
A True 'Mobile Office'
Solution
Being
a Mobile Office means being able to run your business applications from
anywhere, at any time. With MSD's Remote Desktop Business Solution you're no
longer limited to using your vital business applications from one location.
Imagine being able to access your business applications while traveling or from
both the office and from home. Imagine being able to deliver and support your
business applications from two, three or more office locations.
At
MSD, we support a wide range of third party business applications like
QuickBooks as well as many custom developed software application programs.
Right now, today, hundreds of businesses around the world are operating
applications hosted by MSD servers. Shouldn't you be one?
Protect Your Business From
Disaster
Many
MSD customers are located in areas that are subject to a variety of potential
natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, forest fires or
severe winter weather conditions. While we all hope that our businesses are
safe from disaster the reality is that circumstances can cause any business to
be unable to operate, sometimes for days and sometimes for weeks. With MSD's
hosted Remote Desktop solutions clients can quickly relocate or arrange for
employees to work from home or other locations and reduce risk.
Reduce IT Support and
Infrastructure Costs
Tired
of the high cost of local technical support staff and the infrastructure costs
of servers, backups and other IT related services? MSD's Remote Desktop
Business Solutions are delivered as a fully managed service. We provide
solutions that reduce or eliminate the costs of equipment and the costs of
maintaining local resources needed to operate your business.
We
offer a full range of technical support options to support your Remote Desktop
Business Solution deployment, and you no longer have to worry about the safety
of your data because MSD makes sure it is protected and available.
Service Fees
Service
fees for MSD's Remote Desktop Business Solutions vary depending on the level of
services you request, but the costs of our standard business services are
pretty easy to figure out. There are four elements that combine to determine
your monthly service fees:
1.
For all Terminal Service deployments, a base monthly fee of
$99.00 per month applies. This fee covers cost of electricity, cooling
(Air-condition), your own dedicated server, and server rack space, server
storage space up to 50 Gigs of data.
2.
For each end-user subscriber account MSD charges a desktop
fee of $24.95 per month. This fee covers a proportion of the Internet fiber
feed, and labor costs required to service your account. This fee also recovers
the cost of Microsoft Terminal Service SALS (Subscriber Access Licenses),
operating system licensing fees, networking services (firewall) and certain
other expenses incurred on your behalf.
3.
For each customer
supplied business application (or, if appropriate, for each primary application
component3) MSD charges a $75.00 monthly service fee for the first
application and $25.00 per month for each additional application.
4.
Data Backup Service is
a backup of your data. MSD offers what is called Incremental back up.
Incremental backup is where your data is backed up each night of the week,
Monday to Friday. As the backup rotates to the next week it starts to overwrite
the week before, always keeping one week’s data in storage
5.
If you choose to enhance your subscription by adding data
backup service monthly rental fee applies. Backup fees are as follows:

Let's
assume that you have a one custom application that you wish to have hosted. How
much would this cost?
Well,
assuming that you need to support desktops for eight people, here's how to
calculate your monthly fee:
|
In
this example, your average monthly fee per user is $59.75 per month ($298.75
divided by 5).
One-Time
setup fees vary with each deployment and are custom quoted based on the number
of end-users and the number of applications being deployed. For the
five-subscriber example shown above, one-time setup fees are estimated at
$446.25. A minimum three-user subscription is required.
All
fees are quoted based on an annual service term agreement. Shorter-term
agreements are available on request. Additional service fees may apply if you
require custom desktops for specific individuals or groups of individuals.
