The Challenge

In addition, their primary server approached end of life and needed to be replaced.

The requirements were 24/7 support, 99.99% uptime, granular security, familiar work environment, ability to add and remove users as needed, and access to all existing data. StratusPointIT demoed ITAnyWhere Cloud virtual office solution with Egnyte file hosting service.ITAnyWhere Cloud, powered by Citrix XenApp, provides secure, seamless remote desktop and application access, andITAnyWhere Cloud brings a familiar Windows desktop environment to the cloud.

The Results
Client was able to achieve the desired secure, always-on, remote workplace and file access they needed, and remove their aging server. This project was deemed a success, as it improved productivity, and removed all the direct and indirect costs and worries associated with running a server from an office environment.
