As nations begin to start emerging from COVID-19 induced lockdowns, businesses are beginning to resume in a new normal; one where remote work and social distancing are the status quo. These new work realities are creating new demands on businesses to adapt. One of the many ways they can, is by adopting new or pre-existing technologies that enable remote work in a secured, business friendly environment.
Nutanix, one of the larger cloud software and hyperconverged solutions providers, has created a solution which allows businesses to quickly adapt to the growing demands of remote work. Their new “FastTrack for VDI” service allows businesses to pivot to remote work realities quickly and reduce the time needed to onboard employees working remotely. VDI – Virtual Desktop Infrastructure – allows employees to access sensitive documents from a remote machine while keeping documents within a secured environment. This opens doors to businesses dealing with sensitive data to enable remote work and put their employees health and safety first.
The new initiative by Nutanix also allows businesses to quickly acquire and provision desktops within five business days. These desktops will come with configurations predefined by Nutanix enabling secure access for remote work employees. The service also gives businesses the flexibility to leverage existing hardware, select predefined Nutanix hardware or leverage managed cloud infrastructure from the company’s partners.
“In 2020, remote working has become our new normal. It is time for businesses to start planning for the long term and leverage technologies for a new business reality. Nutanix is committed to ensuring that Malaysian businesses have quick and easy access to the right solutions and technology to keep their staff engaged, efficient and productive throughout these unprecedented disruptions,”
Avinash Gowda, Malaysia’s Country Manager for Nutanix
With the new service, businesses who were already in the midst of their digitization journey will be able to continue and accelerate their efforts while those yet to begin are provided with a fast track.
