Hosted Virtual Desktops (HVD) or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is a virtualization technology where a desktop operating system is delivered as a virtual machine on cloud to which a single user connects remotely, where one user’s desktop is not impacted by another user’s desktop configurations. HVD comes in multiple flavors – existing, installed, pooled, dedicated and streamed – from which one can choose the best suitable one.
Our experience of implementing HVD solutions from leading Vendor and cross domain expertise across server, storage, network, and endpoints ensures that you get a complete HVD solution designed and built to your exact requirements.
HVD is ideal when:
- You have power users who need access to multiple applications that eat up significant CPU resources.
- You have users who need a highly customizable desktop environment.
HVD deployments:
- Enable desktops to share the same image between them, decreasing costs.
- Allow usage of thin clients or mobile devices instead of powerful PCs resulting in significant cost savings.
- Simplify OS management and help desk support services.
- Facilitate data security.
With HVD technology you won’t have to:
- Worry whether a proof of concept or a pilot would actually scale up.
- Guess about the compatibility of your applications with virtualization.
- Deal with print jobs eating up precious WAN bandwidth.
- Worry about latency and jitter impacting application performance.
- Struggle with the right balance between flexibility or accessibility vs. stability or security.
- Worry about complex licensing requirements.
Server Based Computing (SBC), also referred to as Hosted Shared Desktops (HSD), is a virtualization technology that uses shared desktops hosted on the server side or cloud which connect to multiple thin clients in the front-end enabling a large number of users to concurrently access the same desktop.
Our expertise in providing services around virtualization technologies means that you are not limited to a particular set of options while building your SBC solution.
SBC/HSD is ideal when:
- You have a set of users who need reliable and constant access to a limited number of light business applications. In such scenarios, using a normal PC environment is a waste of time and resources, especially if personalization requirements are low to non-existent.
- You want to maintain reliability and end-user satisfaction while keeping application delivery costs to a minimum.
SBC/HSD deployments:
- Deliver high ROI because a large number of users can be supported by a single Hosted Shared Desktop.
- Have been around longer and the technology is relatively well understood and mature.
- Can be scaled up cost effectively based on business needs.

Application Virtualization is ideal when:
- You wish to stream individual applications from the backend to endpoints without any application-to- application or application-to- OS conflicts.
- You want to run multiple complex applications without worrying about DLL Hell or conflict management at each individual endpoint.
- You want to enable BYOD by allowing users access to applications from any device.
Application Virtualization deployments:
- Simplify patch management and instantly roll out updated versions of the application to your end-users.
- Improve security and compliance by delivering applications and settings isolated from the underlying OS at the endpoints.
- Drastically reduce support and hardware costs and the time taken to troubleshoot tickets.

Identity Management (IM)
Identity Management provides flexible, simplified and integrated multi-factor authentication services for user authentication, including One Time Password, Digital Certificates, and Biometrics-based authentication.
Using Identity Management, organizations can protect critical business applications from misuse by internal and external users. Identity Management enables strong multi-factor authentication based on One-Time-Password, Bio-metrics parameters validations, device hardware ID & PKI. HyID protects the corporate resources from unchecked access by privileged users and provides detailed audit logs about who accessed what, from where and what time. The system can generate alerts based when an access by a user invalidates the set risk thresholds, enabling organizations to detect and prevent identity thefts and privilege rights misuse.
Identity Management ensures that only authenticated users are granted access to relevant applications, systems or IT environments. This involves identification, authentication and authorization of end-users in order to provide profile-based access to business applications, data and systems.
Identity Management is ideal when:
- You want to provide function-/department- /group- wise access to data and applications.
- You wish to limit unnecessary access to all end-users to minimize costs and improve productivity.
Identity Management deployments:
- Enable secure access to end-users from anywhere, at any time and on any device.
- Improve employee productivity especially in the case of new employee onboarding, or during inter-departmental switches.
- 100% software-defined, with no dependency on patented hardware.
Benefits
Identity Management enables organizations to monitor exactly who accessed what from where and when.
Access Management
Provide contextual access to privilege accounts, achieve compliance, decrease risk & streamline administration.
Flexible Authentication
Provides One-Time-Password via multiple tokens including SMS, email, PC software and mobile application.
Detailed Auditing
Proof of identity through detailed auditing & multi-factor authentication for secure access.
Secure Application
Provide extra layer of security over any application for authorized users fortifying corporate data.
What is Thin Client Concept
A thin client is a lightweight computer that has been optimized for establishing a remote connection with a server-based computing environment. The server does most of the work, which can include launching software programs, crunching numbers, and storing data. This contrasts with a fat client or a conventional personal computer; the former is also intended for working in a client–server model but has significant local processing power, while the latter aims to perform its function mostly locally.
Thin clients occur as components of a broader computing infrastructure, where many clients share their computations with a server or server farm. The server-side infrastructure uses cloud computing software such as Application Virtualization, Hosted Shared Desktop (HSD), Server Based Computing (SBC) or Desktop Virtualization (VDI). This combination forms what is known as a cloud-based system where desktop resources are centralized at one or more data centers. The benefits of centralization are hardware resource optimization, reduced software maintenance, and improved security.
Benefits
Thin Client device family has a variety of devices ranging from low cost, zero clients to high-end customizable thin PC models for power users.
Manageability
Admin can operate, manage and audit devices from a centralized console & do not need to be present locally.
Cost Savings
Get Desktop rich experience while avoiding the typical issues like high cost & high power consumption
Security
Admin can monitor device activity, session, idle activity and power management.
Connectivity
Provide smooth graphics, multi-media, audio and video in virtual desktop computing environment.
