Eseri.net, one of my clients, is starting beta trials of their virtual corporate IT service and is accepting applications from interested customers.
Targeted at enterprise IT, the Eseri service provides a complete corporate IT solution, including individual virtual desktops, hosted in the cloud. To use the service, the customer’s administrator visits Eseri.net and registers a corporate domain and provides a credit card. The Administrator receives an e-mail link to their personal desktop and can then create additional desktops for other employees. These people receive the links to their desktops and can start using them immediately.
The desktops are all connected by an organizational layer that provides common file storage, integrated e-mail and single-sign-on (SSO) to all the applications. The desktops are loaded with 24 productivity and collaboration applications including:
- e-mail and Internet browsers;
- graphics software for images, vectors and diagrams;
- The Open Office suite of applications;
- Nuxeo document management;
- vTiger CRM;
- HR applications;
- GNU Cash; and
- Project management tools.
Internally, we’ve been using the system for over a year and I think it is a great alternative to the traditional IT model. Eseri customers only need to have access to the Internet and a simple browser capable of running the NoMachine thin client. There is no need to own a server or expensive software. There are no capital expenses, only operating expenses. It is a fully outsourced IT model.
Please contact info@eseri.net for more information if you are interested in trying the Eseri virtual IT solution.
