Cloud Desktops for Managed Service Providers

Being successful in the MSP market is not only about growing sales. To be profitable, you must create efficiencies and cut costs internally. That is difficult to do with legacy VDI solutions. Enter VDI 2.0. itopia CAS has been built from the ground up for Google Cloud to enable less technical IT administrators to deliver “single-click” deployments of cloud based VDI at the lowest cost possible. Further, itopia has several key features that help drive down costs and save time — to name just a few: Server Uptime Scheduling, Autoscaling and Snapshot storage automation. These enable significant savings on GCP costs that you can pass along to your clients.

The MSP market is super competitive, and it’s imperative that you differentiate from the thousands of MSPs your customers have to choose from. If your engineers are too busy working in the break-fix mode with legacy VDI solutions, they aren’t creating more value-added services. itopia’s end-to-end IT infrastructure management solution enables you to reduce the time it takes to deploy and manage VDI on Google Cloud significantly, freeing up your staff to focus on determining and delivering the best services that satisfy the unique needs of each customer.

With traditional VDI solutions, MSPs are by definition more in the business of infrastructure procurement and management. In other words, the desktop becomes a mere afterthought given the time and attention that everything else requires. That doesn’t really make sense if you are selling a virtual desktop solution. By leveraging the economies of scale and network prowess of Google Cloud with the automation and orchestration capabilities itopia CAS provides, your IT pros can focus on the end user experience to enable more productivity.

Companies are looking to MSPs to secure their critical business information because they struggle to do it in-house. The same goes for you, providing security is a massive undertaking that can drain your budget and resources, and if you slip up (it’s easy to do), it can put a major dent in your reputation — not to mention the loss of a client. By deploying cloud based VDI from Google Cloud’s highly secure and compliant data centers, you can assure your clients and prospects that their data will be extremely secure. In addition, itopia enables you to easily apply security policies and best practices from a single dashboard.
