Teradici Partners with Microsoft Azure to Bring Cloud Access Software to More Customers

Are you considering a public cloud platform like Microsoft Azure?

Are you looking to learn about the possibilities of public cloud, on-premises, hybrid or multicloud options?

Or are you simply searching for options that help prepare for a public cloud future?

Here are 3 reasons to consider Teradici Cloud Access Software with Microsoft Azure.

1) Teradici Cloud Access Software and Microsoft Azure are for organizations small and large – even for ones needing to flexibly use both public cloud and on-premises data centers.

Organizations as small as startups to large enterprises can often find common ground in the need for securing corporate IP, easing IT management, maximizing existing investments, or even disaster recovery planning.

Together, Microsoft Azure and Teradici Cloud Access Software offer organizations of all kinds a compelling way to solve these. When you look at on-premises infrastructure, you’ll find limitations because of its lack of flexibility. There are high administrative fees, upfront CapEx that restricts you to using old and aging server equipment, and the data center often supports too little when you need extra resources but too large for an organization’s needs for the rest of the time. Cloud resources are available on demand and scale with your business instead.

Cloud Access Software is the only virtual remoting solution today to soundly support public, private (ie. on-premise data centers), and multiple clouds. For those unfamiliar with the software, it’s built on the industry-leading PCoIP protocol enabling the best in high-performance, secure, remote access to applications and workstations. Cloud Access Software also enables you to burst into the cloud as needed if your primary deployment is an on-premises data center.

Teradici is the inventor of the PCoIP protocol, the developer of Cloud Access Software, and one of the few trusted Microsoft Azure partners with gold certified status. Cloud Access Software can be found in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace today along related resources to help you better understand how it can benefit your organization.

3) Enabling virtual workstations is not only about the protocol’s quality. Together, Microsoft Azure and Teradici Cloud Access Software offer so much more for organizations, IT managers, and end-users.

Protocol quality is of utmost importance especially in industries that rely heavily on graphic quality standards like engineering, manufacturing, or media and entertainment. The PCoIP protocol delivers on that promise but other factors like controlling costs, brokering and provisioning capabilities, and the overall ease on IT management should not be ignored.

At a glance, here are some of the other benefits:

• Easy setup and deployment – simpler steps and fewer components to install compared to competitive solutions
• Enable automation of desktop and infrastructure management
• Support the migration of applications to the cloud without costly modifications
• Turn virtual workstations on or off for control over usage billing
• Broker & provision virtual desktops instantly
• Security that meets high-grade standards
