A Hosted Desktop for BYOX Businesses

BYOX ONTO Blog

You’re a business owner or a manager and you’ve decided to allow BYOX (Bring Your Own X) at your company or within your department. This means that you’ve given your employees permission to bring to the office their own computing devices (BYOD), applications (BYOA), or network (BYON). You approved of BYOX for a couple reasons: that it would raise the comfort level and morale of employees; that employees, in being more comfortable and motivated, would also be more focused and productive; that it would make your business more appealing to highly-sought-after and young job candidates; and that it would save you the expense (usually amounting to more than $15,000) of having to purchase computing devices for your employees. The next step after approving BYOX is to switch your IT infrastructure to the one that works best with mobile devices: an IronOrbit Hosted Desktop Infrastructure.

There are several reasons why you as a BYOX business should select IronOrbit Hosted Desktops. First, an IronOrbit Hosted Desktop is a web-based solution that can be accessed from anywhere with any Internet-connected device (including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones). Second, an IronOrbit Hosted Desktop Infrastructure is highly centralized and secure. Security has always been a sticking point for businesses when it comes to BYOD and BYOX: companies worry that when mobile devices get lost or stolen (as they often do), the person that ends up with the device will have unrestricted access to all of the business’s files and applications. Lost or stolen devices aren’t a problem with an IronOrbit Hosted Desktop Infrastructure, however. IronOrbit Hosted Desktop requires a username and password. They also prevent the transfer of data from Hosted Desktops to the hard drive of the users’ device. In this way, IronOrbit keeps the minor misfortune of a lost or stolen smartphone from turning into a costly and reputation-damaging data loss incident.
