What are the advantages to a virtual desktop?
If you have any plans to let your employees work from anywhere or if you have a need to consolidate and centralize the computers so IT has an easier time managing computers and all of the maintenance behind it; then your company should be considering virtual desktop infrastructure.

How ClearCube Benefits the Government
The technological advancements of today continually present beneficial opportunities for users. However, this modern trend of impressive progress is also the mechanism that has created the increase in security threats and breaches that terrorize many businesses and organizations. This only intensifies the need for top-of-the-line security solutions that can protect the highly confidential nature of government and military work. In order to effectively combat security concerns, the traditional computing system of distributing box PCs to each employee must be abandoned.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a revolutionary technology that many are familiar with but have never heard of. Words like “server” and “platform” can be confusing. To simplify it, VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) is a central location (data center) where the computers are hosted. This might be a physical location within your office like a server room or an online cloud like AWS.

Imagine that you are in charge of a manufacturing facility with 90 workers. Every single worker needs a computer to run their part of the supply chain. Each worker is a different height and the facility itself is dusty, warm, and on hot days will have fans running to cool the floor. There aren’t a whole lot of electrical outlets which makes plugging in a monitor and computer a frustrating concept.

ClearCube’s CD7522, CD9522, and CD9552 zero clients were selected as secure endpoints for the VDI Zero Client category under the 2021 CCS-2 QEB Program.

VDI didn’t change the Internet, it changed the way we are using it. Traveling with a laptop has never been easier. Remote access to corporate resources has never been easier and businesses can save millions on infrastructure with one VDI installation. By simply purchasing or deploying a virtual desktop environment (VDI), end users are able to work anywhere and anytime; this innovative technology improves productivity while dramatically decreasing IT red tape.

Forgetting a password happens to the best of us — but getting back into your ClearCube PCoIP Zero Client is a simple and secure process. In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to recover access if you’ve lost or forgotten your administrative password.

Coping with technology and security breaches in a constantly evolving business landscape requires organizations to manage their IT infrastructure more easily, efficiently, and securely. Taking this into account, the world where office work is almost always performed at a desk, via a company-issued laptop or computer, is rapidly declining. The availability of newer, more portable devices, coupled with the near-ubiquity of Internet access, enables remote work. Employees are increasingly accessing applications remotely as a service, either from the enterprise data center or from multiple cloud providers.

COVID-19 has made it necessary for organizations to develop remote work strategies, transitioning many employees to work from home. Of course, this has led to a rise in connectivity and productivity challenges, not to mention social distancing which is by no means easy for industries built around person-to-person interactions. So, how can smart cloud solutions ensure businesses will succeed in the long run?

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure hosts a desktop instance on a centralized server in a data center that users can access over a secure network with an endpoint. There are many devices to choose from, including Thin Client solutions, Zero Clients, laptops, tablets, and so on. This simplified desktop management platform offers users an isolated environment in which they can log into their virtual machines (VMs) anywhere, anytime, and on any client device. The benefits are clear:

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) technology facilitates remote access to desktops hosted inside virtual machines (VMs) that live on servers in secure data centers. Users access desktops using Powerful Remote Connection endpoints, such as Thin Clients and Zero Clients, while benefiting from a true PC-like experience. For an accounting enterprise, is it worth transitioning from a conventional desktop environment to virtualization? Will it receive all VDI business benefits, including secure and high-performance digital premises, centralized IT management, reduced costs, and business agility?

The personal computer market started with the invention of machines such as MITS Altair, Apple II, and IBM PC. Many contributions soon followed, including tablets, laptops, workstations, and servers which gained immense popularity. Today, several computers are designed in compact form factors, and there is more preference for mini PCs than giant towers.
