Cloud computing is a general term for the delivery of hosted services over the Internet. M-Tech’s cloud desktop enables you to access your applications and data from anywhere there is an internet connection, giving ultimate flexibility.
Cloud Benefits and Solutions
The Right Cloud Solution for You
We understand the factors that influence your decisions and can help you build an on premise infrastructure, a full cloud deployment or a hybrid model to fit with your organisation’s needs. Working with leading industry vendors and having access to a datacentre facility in close proximity to our head office we can offer a range of services and SLAs not possible through other channels.
We recognise that today’s ever changing distributed workforce need tools to be able to collaborate and communicate more easily. We will assess your requirements and technical needs to see if a cloud based solution could benefit your organisation, taking into consideration such things as budget, flexibility and sustainability. Moving wholly to the cloud isn’t for everyone at this stage, so rest assured we will only recommend it if we think it’s right for you.
Benefits of the Cloud
> Predictable Budgeting
Cloud desktop is delivered as a monthly subscription model; there are no CapEx, upfront costs involved. This means there’s no longer a need to invest in your own servers, freeing up floor space and reducing power and cooling costs.
> Fully Managed
To ensure your IT experience is seamless, we fully manage it for you. You can be confident in the knowledge that your software upgrades, anti-virus protection, firewall and backup are all kept up to date and monitored. As and when you need to add more users we’ll take care of this for you, assigning access to the appropriate employees. As your business scales we’ll simply scale your cloud provision to match.
> Ultimate Flexibility
In the event that employees are unable to come in to the office, but are still able to work, they can access all their data via any PC, tablet or laptop; it’s as simple as visiting a webpage and logging in.
> No onsite server hardware
> Greatly reduced technical support overhead
> The latest version of all OS and Office software
> Cutting edge flexible and agile working platform
> Highly available datacentre environment with N+1 features
> Near instant disaster recovery
> Repurpose existing desktop hardware

Moving to the Cloud
Moving to the Cloud couldn’t be easier, M-Tech will come in and remove your legacy equipment, leaving just thin clients and peripherals where applicable. If your existing PCs are in a good condition we will convert them into thin clients using the IGEL Universal Desktop Converter. There’s no more to it than that; log in and begin your day.
Connectivity and Cloud
One of the biggest, and often overlooked, benefits, to collaborating with M-Tech as your cloud provider, is connectivity. Connecting to the public cloud directly through the internet involves a number of different routes to get to the cloud server. Each of these hops comes with a delay, although only fractions of seconds, each of these adds up when throwing multiple users into the mix.
M-Tech can provide point to point connectivity, a direct connection from your business to the internet. This is both more secure and quicker, as there’s no other traffic on the line. There are variable options within this, depending on distance to cover and speed required. We will always perform a full assessment to determine what’s available and the best route to take.
