Flexibility – You are no longer chained to your desktop at work. You can work whenever and where ever you like. Your virtual desktop is available on your home computer, laptop, phone or tablet.
Cost-efficient – Stop wasting money on high-end computers and servers, which you need to replace every few years. All of your data is kept securely in the cloud, and you can access your virtual desktop from much cheaper desktop computers as all of the processing is done in the cloud and not on your actual computer.
Pay as You Go – You don’t need to shell out thousands of dollars for new high-end desktops. You pay for your virtual desktops on a monthly basis and only pay for the time that you are using it. When you shut it down at the end of the day, or over the weekend, you do not pay for the time that it is off.
Disaster Recovery Built-in – All of your data is stored securely and safely in the cloud. If your office desktop experiences a severe crash, or your office has a sudden power outage, nothing will happen to your data. Your data is backed up and replicated to other cloud locations across the U.S. in the event of a major disaster. No matter what, your data is protected.
Higher Security – All of your virtual desktops and data are stored in Amazon Web Services’ highly secure and redundant data centers all across the United States. Your virtual desktops and data can only be accessed via an encrypted connection using your individual user login credentials. If your office experiences a robbery and desktops and hardware are stolen, you can at least be assured that no sensitive company data was compromised.
More Power for Less – Do you run powerful applications like Autodesk REVIT or Autocad, Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Premiere? All of these application require very powerful and expensive desktops to run efficiently. We can run these application in the cloud on very powerful virtual desktops that you only pay for when they are running, that you can access from any inexpensive desktop. You can also access this powerful virtual desktop form a tablet or phone.
Application Support – Your virtual desktops are running Windows 10, so you can have any application installed on your cloud desktop that you could run on your local computer.
Future Proof – You don’t need to keep buying expensive desktops every few years. When new computer processors and hardware are release, we can move your virtual desktops into the newer technology but you can still access them from the same computers that you have been using. Get more years out of the computers in your office, keep up with current technology and save tons of money in the process.

CLOUD MIGRATION SERVICES

Do you have servers in a tiny closet in your office? Having trouble accessing your systems when you are at home or on the road? Are you worried that your server will fail and you will lose all of your data? How about that backup drive? Are you hoping that it will just last forever? These are just a few of the problems you face with housing and maintaining physical servers in your office.

If you are not in the cloud yet, you are already behind the curve, wasting money and every day at risk of losing critical company data. There are many significant benefits to moving to the cloud. Approach Technology can seamlessly and easily get you into the cloud so you can take advantage of the many benefits of cloud technology. Don't be left behind!

Cost Savings – When you buy servers, you either need to plan for expansion and pay for extra capacity that you most likely will not use until years in the future, or you buy what you need at the moment and when you need more capacity you quickly scramble to buy more servers and integrate them into your current environment which takes a lot of time and money to do. Also, these state-of-the-art servers you just paid many thousands of dollars for will be completely obsolete in 3 YEARS! You will need to start to the process to migrate off of your old, obsolete servers into new servers that you again paid many thousands of dollars for. More time and money spent just to stay current.

In the cloud, there are no huge up-front costs. You only pay for what you us on a month-to-month basis. If you need more capacity in the future, it is very easy and quick to expand your resources. When technology advances, it is a quick and simple process to move your workloads from the older technology to the new. No more wasted time and money on complex processes to move your systems to different hardware every few years.

Flexibility – In the cloud, it is very easy to scale up and scale down capacity as your needs change. The scaling process can even be set to happen automatically to react to usage spikes or drops. With on-premise servers, this is not possible at all. If you have usage spikes, it’s already too late to buy new servers to meet capacity. If your usage drops, you are stuck with expensive servers that you are no longer using and are becoming obsolete by the minute. And, not being able to meet capacity demands driven by your customer base can be catastrophic for your company.

Security – Amazon Web Servers is, by default, a highly secure cloud platform that conforms to the most popular and significant security compliances in the healthcare, financial and technology industries, such is HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FIPS and many more. When you have on-premise servers, you must purchase, configure and maintain expensive and complex networking devices and building security systems to protect your servers from network breaches and theft. Every day, your highly sensitive data is at risk and even more so at night when you are not at the office.

Built-in Disaster Recovery – Disaster recovery is arguably the most important factor to consider when running systems either on-premise or in the cloud. Amazon Web Services has many features and services that are easily employed to backup and secure your systems to be prepared for any type of disaster. You can easily configure a disaster recovery plan that will react immediately to any disaster event to keep your systems up and running with no impact to your employees and/or customers. With on-premise servers, this is virtually impossible. You would need to purchase duplicate sets of servers, house them in two different locations, constantly keep them synced and updated. And after spending all of that time and money to setup and maintain this disaster recovery solution, you are STILL vulnerable to disaster scenarios that you could easily avoid in the cloud.

A Multitude of Services – Amazon Web Servers is, by far, the leader in cloud computing. Not just in sheer size but also in the far great number of services they offer than any other competitor. By moving your systems into the AWS cloud, you will have the ability to employ smart and efficient service based solutions to run your systems and keep them flexible, reactive to change and up-to-date with the most current technology. With on-premise servers, you are limited to software packages you must install and maintain, or expensive development projects to create unique software for your company that must be maintained and supported by developers that must have knowledge of your programs.

Future Proof – As technology changes very rapidly, it is very difficult to keep up in an on-premise scenario. The time and money spent just to keep up with current technology can be overwhelming. In the AWS cloud, it is very easy to move from old to new technology, often times gaining significant cost savings in the process.

Retiring Old Hardware – When it’s time to replace server equipment, there is a much better choice than moving your systems and applications to new hardware. We can migrate your systems into the cloud at a huge cost savings over buying new hardware, as you will only need to pay for what you use on a monthly basis.

More Robust Email System – Maintaining an on-premise email system is a difficult task when you need to consider things like redundancy, accessibility, protection and ongoing system maintenance. Email downtime for any reason can be catastrophic to some companies. We can migrate your entire email infrastructure into Office 365 and take advantage of their highly robust email platform. You don’t need to worry about backing up and securing your email as that is done for you. Also, you can take advantage of the advanced protection filters and artificial intelligence to protect you from spam, malware, phishing attacks and viruses. Capacity will no longer be a problem as there is virtually no limit to the number of email boxes you can have.

Protect Sensitive Data – Do you have sensitive data stored on in-house servers? No matter what you have done to protect this data, it will always be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or physical breaches as long as it is sitting in your offices. We can migrate your data into the AWS cloud where it will be protected by the highest levels of physical and virtual security in the technology industry. It will also be backed up in multiple secure locations across the U.S. so even in the worst type of disaster, you will know that your data is safe.

Extend Resources – When you have pushed your servers to their limits of capacity, you will need to make a choice. Either purchase more expensive hardware that will be growing obsolete by the day, and will also eventually run out of capacity, or you can let us extend your on-premise network into the cloud where you will have unlimited resources which will be very cost effective and future proof. Only pay for what you use and we can keep moving your systems into the newest technology, seamlessly and easily, as it is available.

Application Modernization – Running your applications on your in-house servers is no longer a good idea for many reasons. One of the primary reasons is that you are locked in to using the hardware you purchased and your application can only take advantage of the power in those physical servers and the tools that are compatible with those systems. We can move your applications into the Amazon Web Services cloud where you can take advantage of the most advanced cloud services available from any cloud provider. You can now decouple your applications and utilize multiple services to run your workloads instead of just one program. You can take advantage of elasticity where your application resources can grow or shrink on demand. You can also rest easy knowing that you have the most robust disaster recovery options at your fingertips. Don’t be left behind in the growing trend of cloud development.

Remote Connectivity Solution – Like many companies who need remote access to their in-house systems and servers, there are always problems for one reason or another with access to data, connection speed or just getting it to work at all. If there are any issues with your local network at the office, your remote access is down. We can migrate your entire network into the Amazon Web Services cloud, give all of your employees Virtual Desktops and your connectivity issues are a thing of the past. You systems, desktops and data are running safely and securely in the AWS cloud. Access it from anywhere, anytime and on virtually any device. In the office, at home or on the road, your desktop experience is always exactly the same.
