    Overview
    Dizzion provides a fully managed end user computing platform that is purpose built to efficiently operate workloads at scale. Services range from virtual desktops and workspaces to a complete application suite delivery. Service offered: • Cloud Delivered Desktop – Windows • Cloud Burst Desktop – Disaster Recovery • Desktop Application Streaming – ThinApp and XenApp The Dizzion Cloud Management Portal provides self-service allowing customers to choose how much they want to control and manage. The portal is an included feature of the Cloud Delivered Desktop offering. Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktops are targeted towards enterprise organizations who wish to be in full control of where their data resides. A benefit of the Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktop is the ability to control corporate data that is being used by remote workers, yet presents a liability if stored on that endpoint device. Dizzion users can control data saves, redirecting them to secure corporate storage in the datacenter. The ability to manage desktop upgrades, patching, adds and changes from one central location, eliminates the need to physically address each endpoint. This is a benefit to organizations with remote workers, multiple locations and a limited IT staff. Extending the life of aging equipment by repurposing simply as a virtual desktop viewer, and dramatically shortening the boot times, especially during boot storms are additional benefits of Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktops.

    Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is a highly regarded remote access tool in addition to being a top-ranked Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution in the marketplace today.

    Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is a suite of valuable elements of the Windows operating system (OS) that serve specific desired objectives. Microsoft RDS integrates various features that allow approved users to gain access to graphical desktops and Windows applications remotely. Approved users are able to deploy applications or even a complete desktop without having to install anything on their devices. Everything remains in the cloud. This ensures that there are never any compatibility issues and keeps the organization's original network secure at all times. Administrators are also able to ensure that data cannot be stored in any unapproved location, such as the local device, unapproved drives, or any other location.

    Microsoft RDS makes it easy for business organizations to access Windows Desktops and other Windows applications remotely to ensure today’s busy enterprise organizations are able to maintain the highest levels of productivity at all times. There are two basic ways organizations can effectively utilize RDS.

Once the user has gained a secure connection based on the approved administrative permissions, the user can seamlessly access and interact with the remote desktop. Users have the feeling of having this new virtual desktop installed directly on their machine.


    • RemoteApp: Users are able to easily access cloud-based applications via their own personal desktop computers or other approved mobile devices. This application ensures overall application management is centralized and consistent throughout the entire business enterprise.
